Abstract
A ventilator system provides a respiratory support to critically-ill patients. Its touch screen-based onscreen User Interface (UI) helps medical users in treatment of the patient. The usability problems in medical UIs may contribute to medical errors, affecting the patient condition. Thus, the usability evaluation of medical UIs is extremely important for patient safety. The study of usability evaluation models has revealed that there is a need of domain-specific evaluation model for medical UIs, focusing on medical context; especially critical aspects in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The proposed UI Component Model is based on UI components, Norman’s action model and identified usability problems.
