Abstract

The MOLD-US framework has been developed to synthesize knowledge for (usability) researchers on aging- and disease-related barriers that can hamper the use of health information technology (HIT). However, dissemination in terms of practical applications of the framework is currently unknown and could inform industry and researchers for applying MOLD-US in practice, but also provide insights on the use of theoretical frameworks in HIT research. Therefore, a citation analysis was conducted on the paper presenting the MOLD-US framework. Nine of the 241 citations were found to report practical application(s) of the MOLD-US framework in their methods section: (1) qualitative research input (n=3), (2) research design (n=3), (3) design approaches (n=2), and (4) conceptual framework development (n=2). Future work aims to explore MOLDUS-US practical applications in the industry, through for example grey literature, but also continuously monitor novel applications to enhance the development of HIT for the aging population.
