AppMoD: Helping Older Adults Manage Mobile Security with Online Social Help
summary
AppMoD is an Android app that delegates mobile security decisions to a trusted contact and to community statistics; it logs anomalies, notifies an advisee, and lets an advisor respond with Kill, Uninstall or Do nothing. Studies recruit 50 advisor–advisee pairs, simulate 40 anomalies, and use expert-confirmed ground truth. Delegated advice yields 1.7× higher first-time accuracy than solo actions, crowdsourced stats add a further 1.2× improvement, and the system reduces Seek Advice over repeated trials without clear long-term learning.
