Technical assistance systems can help identify nutritional and mobility deficits and initiate appropriate interventions. We are developing a technical assistance system consisting of a measurement and training station and a tablet-based app (AS-Tra). AS-Tra is specifically designed for independent use by participants aged\u2009\u2265\u200970 years to assess and improve their nutritional and mobility status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to identify optimization potentials of the AS-Tra system together with members of the target group through iterative test cycles until good usability is achieved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The system is developed as a complex intervention in accordance with the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework and assessed in three iterative cycles for its usability. In each cycle, participants carried out structured predefined tasks. To capture their cognitive process, they were asked to \u2018think aloud\u2019. These thoughts were recorded with the necessary support for completing each task. Usability was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Improvements based on the results were made. In the third cycle, independent use was simulated by leaving the participants alone in the lab, receiving tasks via audio instructions and observing them via webcams and eye-tracking glasses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 34 participants (78.60\u2009\u00b1\u20095.59 years, 70.93% female) were included in the three iterative cycles (C1\u2013C3).
