User-Centered Design of an Electronic Dashboard for Monitoring Facility-Level Basic Emergency Obstetric Care Readiness in Amhara, Ethiopia: Mixed Methods Study

User-Centered Design of an Electronic Dashboard for Monitoring Facility-Level Basic Emergency Obstetric Care Readiness in Amhara, Ethiopia: Mixed Methods Study

In addition, 3 usability heuristics specific to information visualizations in the dashboards were included: spatial organization, information coding, and orientation [19]. Usability heuristics and their definitions used in the heuristic usability evaluation. a HIT: health information technology. Severity ratings for usability violations in the heuristic evaluation.

Medical Device Based on a Virtual Reality–Based Upper Limb Rehabilitation Software: Usability Evaluation Through Cognitive Walkthrough

Medical Device Based on a Virtual Reality–Based Upper Limb Rehabilitation Software: Usability Evaluation Through Cognitive Walkthrough

Although not all user errors result from design flaws, usability evaluations conducted before commercialization can effectively mitigate design-related issues [8,9]. Usability engineering processes play a vital role in identifying and addressing predictable user errors in clinical environments, ensuring the safety and efficiency of medical devices [10,11]. Usability evaluations can be categorized as formative or summative, depending on the timing and purpose of the evaluation [12].

Perception and Evaluation of a Knowledge Transfer Concept in a Digital Health Application for Patients With Heart Failure: Mixed Methods Study

Perception and Evaluation of a Knowledge Transfer Concept in a Digital Health Application for Patients With Heart Failure: Mixed Methods Study

To allow for meaningful comparisons of feedback, our recruitment strategy aimed to include participants with varying levels of experience using the Pro Herz app, aligning with best practices in end-user and usability testing. Medical experts were recruited through Pro Carement, where they interact with the Pro Herz users in their daily work. All experts were nurses with long-term experience in heart failure care.

Acceptability of a Web-Based Health App (PortfolioDiet.app) to Translate a Nutrition Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease in High-Risk Adults: Mixed Methods Randomized Ancillary Pilot Study

Acceptability of a Web-Based Health App (PortfolioDiet.app) to Translate a Nutrition Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease in High-Risk Adults: Mixed Methods Randomized Ancillary Pilot Study

Usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The SUS is a validated usability questionnaire that has been used in clinical settings to assess the usability of various systems and tools [33,34]. The SUS includes 10 statements rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree). The score ranges from 0 to 100 with a score higher than 70 being considered acceptable [35].

Effectiveness of Augmented Reality in the Teaching of Health University Students: Quasi-Experimental Study

Effectiveness of Augmented Reality in the Teaching of Health University Students: Quasi-Experimental Study

The System Usability Scale (SUS) [37] was used for this purpose. It is a methodological tool similar to the Likert Scale that measures the usability of an object, device, and application. The scale consists of 10 questions that can be scored from 1 to 5, where 1 means “Strongly disagree” and 5 means “Strongly agree” (Multimedia Appendix 1).

User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

The validated Telehealth Usability questionnaire (TUQ) was used with minor modifications to capture relevant information to the specific use case [13]. The modified questionnaire (m TUQ) was developed with input from clinicians, engineers, a medical physicist, and a senior intensive care nurse. The survey consisted of 40 questions in total.

Identifying Data-Driven Clinical Subgroups for Cervical Cancer Prevention With Machine Learning: Population-Based, External, and Diagnostic Validation Study

Identifying Data-Driven Clinical Subgroups for Cervical Cancer Prevention With Machine Learning: Population-Based, External, and Diagnostic Validation Study

Finally, we trained a supervised machine learning model and developed pathways (D) to classify individuals using features most consistently linked to CCP subgroups before evaluating its diagnostic validity and usability on an external cohort. Pathologically abnormal diagnoses consisted of CIN1, CIN2, CIN3, and carcinoma.

Experiences and Expectations of Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Older Adults Regarding eHealth Services: Qualitative Interview Study

Experiences and Expectations of Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Older Adults Regarding eHealth Services: Qualitative Interview Study

Thus, older adults might face several usability issues, such as navigation difficulties [22]. Usability is defined by the International Organization for Standardization 9241-11 standard as the “extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a specified context of use” [23].

Identifying Strategies for Home Management of Ostomy Care: Content Analysis of YouTube

Usability studies examining the interaction between medical device technology and end users are essential for developing medical devices that are safe and effective [12]. These studies allow for actively including end users in the design process while considering end user competencies and environment, thus, continuously improving medical device design to fit user needs [13].
