About

This project will involve beta testing of the JomPrEP app to assess its usability and acceptability among Malaysian MSM.

Full description

Given the evolving HIV epidemic among MSM and their challenges with accessing prevention services, we previously proposed to adapt, expand, and refine an existing app (namely the HealthMindr app) to deliver an integrated HIV prevention intervention that will promote HIV testing and linkage to PrEP and that incorporates screening and support for P/SUD for Malaysian MSM. We now plan to conduct expanded beta testing of the newly designed JomPrEP app to assess its usability and acceptability among Malaysian MSM.

Following wireframing and usability testing, Keymind (an experienced mobile app development company that has significant experience in building HIPAA-compliant apps, including HealthMindr) will apply a user interface (UI) design (i.e., colors/branding) to the interactive prototype, followed by the final development of the app (beta version). The objective of this study is to beta test this app to identify potential bugs and to ensure its usability in a real-world setting.

As part of the expanded beta testing, we will also evaluate the design, functionality, and usability of the JomPrEP app. This step is a critical stage of app development and will increase the ability of our research team to develop an acceptable and effective app.
