This research is motivated by the limited use of this technology in primary medical services and its aim is to enable people with disabilities to access effective digital health information. The research objective is to analyse, design and develop a mobile pharmaceutical application with functions that are appropriate for visually-impaired users, and test its usability.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Based on the design and development of the application, it contained five necessary functions. When testing the usability and users\u2019 satisfaction, it was found that the input or fill of information in the application was of low usability. According to the test results, the medicinal database function was missing 71 times and the voice command function was missing 34 times.\u00a0Based on users\u2019 satisfaction results, users who had the highest level of usage gave higher average scores to users\u2019 attitude, users\u2019 confidence, user interface and system performance than those with lower levels of usage. The scores of both groups were found to be the same when discussing the implementation of the development.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This mobile application, which was developed based on the use of smart technology, will play an important role in supporting visually-impaired people in Thailand by enhancing the efficacy of self-care. The design and development of the application will ensure the suitability of many functions for visually-impaired users. However, despite the high functional capacity of the application, the gap in healthcare services between the general public and disabled groups will still exist if users have inadequate IT skills.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12911-021-01573-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]],"date-time":"2021-07-16T11:02:54Z","timestamp":1626433374000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Pharmaceutical mobile application for visually-impaired people in Thailand: development and implementation"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Acrapol","family":"Nimmolrat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pattaraporn","family":"Khuwuthyakorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Purida","family":"Wientong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1664-0059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Orawit","family":"Thinnukool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"1573_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procs.2014.02.041","volume":"27","author":"ACD Barros","year":"2014","unstructured":"Barros ACD, Leit\u00e3o R, Ribeiro J.
