The Efficient, Affect, Helpfulness and Control scales have Below Average value. Only the Learnability scale has Above Average value. The usability result is reached with 95% Confidence Interval. Based on the IT skill, respondents with better IT skill gave lower usability score compared to respondent with lesser IT skill. The research also found that familiar UI and standard questionnaire (PHQ-9 and GAD-7) gave positive usability in Learnability and Efficiency scale.
