Abstract :
The main intention of this research is to evaluate the usefulness of CAPD eBook, which is an interactive multimedia application. This application is developed by integrating various multimedia elements such as text, animation, graphics, and audio. CAPD eBook is designated for renal patients who undergo CAPD as their dialysis method. This application is used to assist the patients in their CAPD training process. CAPD is one of the treatments that renal patients can choose to remove waste in their body. A Usability Test is performed to assess the application. The assessment includes interactivity, navigation, design, color, and integration of multimedia elements. It is found that by the usage of multimedia elements, significant impact in CAPD training for renal patients is provided.
