N2 - In response to the imperative to address the lingering respiratory effects of COVID-19, we present the outcomes of our endeavor to develop a digital platform tailored for effective therapeutic education in respiratory rehabilitation. This platform meets the escalating demand for remote rehabilitation services, particularly for patients contending with post-COVID-19 respiratory conditions. It not only furnishes therapeutic education and facilitates self-guided rehabilitation sessions but also caters to the training needs of healthcare professionals and students specializing in respiratory rehabilitation. Employing a meticulous user-centered approach, we engaged rehabilitation therapy experts and collaborated with educational institutions to shape the platform’s design. Its usability evaluation was guided by Abhay Rautela’s protocol, supplemented by the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ). The evaluation encompassed 58 participants undertaking tasks reflective of their roles as patients. Insights collected via the CSUQ provided a comprehensive assessment of user satisfaction and overall platform usability. The ensuing analysis of usability evaluation results offers valuable insights into the platform’s strengths and areas for enhancement. The cumulative usability acceptance percentage of 72.56% positions our platform within the “Acceptable” range on the System Usability Scale (SUS). This research advances respiratory rehabilitation by offering a solution that is accessible, efficient, and adept at supporting post-COVID-19 recovery journeys.
