Abstract
At-home dialysis treatments are becoming increasingly common as suitable options for renal disease treatment. However, the nature of self-administered, at-home dialysis presents specific medical risks and unsupervised patient experiences that require unique attention by health professionals. This study utilized Arhippainen’s ten user experience heuristics to evaluate and identify strengths and weaknesses of at-home dialysis treatments while suggesting methods to improve the at-home patient experience. Results of our heuristic assessment showed that some at-home dialysis providers consider patient needs and consider human factor design aspects. However, patient experience can still be improved by implementing UX principles aimed at providing a satisfying and positive interaction with products and services.
