<p>In March, the National Library of Medicine and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) released a redesigned version of <a href="//nihseniorhealth.gov/">NIHSeniorHealth</a>, the National Institutes of Health consumer health Web site for older adults. The redesign improves usability and modernizes the appearance throughout the site. Changes incorporate user feedback about the site as well as results from usability testing of proposed designs with seniors.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The new site-wide banner for NIHSeniorHealth (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>) features easy access from every page to more than 50 Health Topics and 150 videos. There is also a new search feature that allows you quick access to health topics, videos, and other senior-related health content.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can resize the text, change the contrast to yellow text on a black background, or print the page. Sign up for NIHSeniorHealth e-mail updates to find out when a topic is updated or a new topic is released. You can also bookmark or share content via the new "Share" button.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
NIHSeniorHealth topics have been redesigned with today's senior in mind (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>). The pages are now longer and the content is organized with topic-related subheadings throughout the page. The left-side navigation allows users to navigate between chapters, take topic-related quizzes, find videos on the topic, or explore other health topics. The navigation is organized into three sections:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>"In This Topic" includes the topic chapters</li>
|
|
<li>"Learn More" includes videos, quizzes, links to <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/">MedlinePlus</a> and <a href="//www.nia.nih.gov/">NIA</a> resources</li>
|
|
<li>"Related Topics" includes other topics of interest on NIHSeniorHealth<br /><br /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The new search feature is intended to help seniors find trustworthy information related to their health. Search results (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>) are compiled from:</p>
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>NIHSeniorHealth</li>
|
|
<li>Senior-related health topics from MedlinePlus </li>
|
|
<li>National Institute on Aging <em>AgePages</em></li>
|
|
<li>Additional trustworthy health information resources for seniors selected by MedlinePlus staff<br /><br /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
NIHSeniorHealth remains committed to being a senior-friendly site with features such as:</p>
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Consistent site-wide navigation</li>
|
|
<li>Topics consistently organized into logical chapter headings and sub-headings</li>
|
|
<li>Dark font against a light background </li>
|
|
<li>Large, sans-serif font </li>
|
|
<li>Ability to enlarge text and change contrast</li>
|
|
<li>Easy-to-click links, including search results<br /><br /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
