Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze and assess different electronic data capture (EDC) interaction concepts regarding usability, hedonistic and pragmatic quality. We designed an application (app) for self-reported nutrition documentation and developed three different interaction concepts: an iPhone app, a computer based app and an app for a near field communication (NFC)-enabled phone with a smart poster. A plain paper protocol was used as a reference object. The prototype was evaluated in a laboratory setting with (n=206) participants. Our results show the potential of NFC for self-reported EDC. NFC outperformed the other solutions on pragmatic and hedonistic aspects, while the prototypes of iPhone and PC underperformed. The results provide initial findings for the design of such systems.
