It evaluates the usability of five T2DM mHealth apps that might fulfill quality requirements in a broader sense. Diakoulaki et al. were the first to develop the CRiteria Importance through Intercriteria Correlation approach in 1995. The Additive Ratio Assessment approach is an innovative method that was pioneered by Zavadskas and Turskis. This method is based on the philosophy that the phenomenon of complex domains with contradictory attributes can be demonstrated by making use of effortless relative comparisons.
