Abstract

This study evaluates the iPICS (Interactive Prostate Cancer Information, Communication, and Support Program), a digital health psychoeducational platform designed to support prostate cancer survivorship. Utilizing black-box testing, we assessed the system's reliability including functionality and multimedia engagement. Results indicate that the system largely adheres to its design requirements, with users efficiently searching, bookmarking, and sharing content. However, there were precision disparities when integrating MedlinePlus content. Users utilized multimedia content, highlighting its importance in digital health platforms. Areas like search algorithms and usability for older users need refinement. This research emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation in developing digital health systems.
