Reliability assessment included the validation of automated clinical calculations (creatinine clearance and glomerular filtration rate) and the evaluation of drug-related problem (DRP) detection. Feasibility was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS), AttrakDiff Mini questionnaire, and Technology Acceptance Model. A companion mobile application was also evaluated by 15 Android users based on 11 key features.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The EldenCare system received positive usability ratings (SUS: 72.82\u2009\u00b1\u20099.83) and high acceptance scores (perceived usefulness: 5.86\u2009\u00b1\u20090.65; perceived ease of use: 6.02\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60) from healthcare professionals, with no significant differences between physicians and clinical pharmacists (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u2009.05).
