Health App Usability Scale/Evidence
Method evidence record

Health App Usability Scale

The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a rapid, validated tool for measuring perceived usability of digital products, widely adapted for health applications. Developed by John Brooke in 1996 and extensively validated by Bangor and colleagues, the 10-item SUS generates a single composite score reflecting users' subjective perception of ease of use, learnability, and overall system quality. Its simplicity and robustness have made it the de facto standard for usability assessment in health technology research.
