Usability Evaluation of Medical Device Software: User-Centered Design Approaches for Improving Clinical Workflow Efficiency and User Satisfaction

Abstract

Usability evaluation plays a pivotal role in the development of medical device software, ensuring that it meets the needs of healthcare professionals, enhances clinical workflow efficiency, and improves user satisfaction. This abstract explores user-centered design approaches for evaluating the usability of medical device software, focusing on strategies to optimize clinical workflow efficiency and user satisfaction. By adopting a human-centered approach, developers can gain insights into users' needs, preferences, and challenges, facilitating the design of intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. Usability evaluation methods, such as heuristic evaluation, usability testing, and task analysis, provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of medical device software in real-world clinical settings. Through iterative testing and refinement, developers can address usability issues, streamline clinical workflows, and enhance user satisfaction, ultimately improving patient care outcomes. This abstract highlights the importance of incorporating user-centered design principles and usability evaluation techniques into the development process of medical device software to ensure its effectiveness, efficiency, and usability in clinical practice.
