Patients were given the app to use for at least three months. Those who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were recruited. Data gathered were on sociodemographic, clinical characteristics, self-management support by doctors, utilisation of the app at home and social support in using the app. The previously translated and validated Malay version of the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire was used to measure usability. The mean usability score was calculated and linear regressions analysis was conducted to determine the factors associated with the usability of the app.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 247 patients with at least one cardiovascular risk factor(s) were recruited. The mean age was 60.2 (\u00b18.2). The majority were Malays (86.2%) and half of them were males (52.2%). The total mean (\u00b1SD) usability score was 5.26 (\u00b10.67) indicating a high usability of the app. Usability of the app declined with increasing age in the simple linear regressions analysis. The multiple linear regressions yielded that being Malay ( b\u2009=\u20090.31, 95% CI 0.08,0.54), using the app at home to understand their medications ( b\u2009=\u20090.33, 95% CI 0.12,0.53) and having social support from family members and friends ( b\u2009=\u20090.28, 95% CI 0.07,0.49) were significantly associated with higher usability of the app.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The usability of the EMPOWER-SUSTAIN Self-Management Mobile App\u00a9 was high among patients with cardiovascular risk factors in our primary care clinic.
