Abstract

This chapter introduces methods and considerations for evaluating the usability of medical devices. It divides evaluation methods broadly into usability inspection methods and usability testing methods. Inspection methods are similar to editing a user interface or conducting a design review. Usability testing methods ask real potential users to conduct real tasks with a device or with a prototype. Along the way, researchers keep track of participants’ success rate, error rate, time on task, and other human-product performance measures. This chapter discusses exactly how and when to use each method, and provides guidance on how to get the most out of your activities.
