Development and expert inspections of the user interface for a primary care decision support system

BackgroundGeneral practitioners play a unique key role in diagnosing patients with unclear diseases. Decision support systems in primary care can assist with diagnosis provided that they are efficient and user-friendly. ObjectivesThe objective of this study is to develop a high-fidelity prototype of the user interface of a clinical decision support system for primary care, particularly for diagnosis support in unclear diseases, using expert inspections at an early stage of development to ensure a high level of usability. MethodsThe user interface prototype was iteratively developed based on previous research, design principles, and usability guidelines. During the development phase, three usability inspections were carried out by all experts at four-week intervals as heuristic walkthrough. Each inspection consisted of two parts: 1) Task-based inspection 2) Free exploration and evaluation based on usability heuristics. Five domain experts assessed the current status of development.The tasks in the inspections were based on the task model derived in the requirements analysis: perform data entry, review and discuss results, schedule further diagnostics, refer to specialists and close case. ResultsAs a result of this iterative development, a high-fidelity, clickable user interface prototype was created that is able to fulfil all six tasks of our task model. The usability inspections identified a total of 196 usability issues (for all 3 inspections; Part 1: 90 issues, Part 2: 106 issues), ranging in severity from minor to severe. These served the continuous adjustment and improvement of the prototype. All main tasks were completed successfully despite these problems. ConclusionUsability inspections through heuristic walkthroughs can support and optimise the development of a user-centred decision support system in order to ensure its suitability for performing relevant tasks.

TechMark: a framework for the development, engagement, and motivation of software teams in IT organizations based on gamification.

In today's fast-moving world of information technology (IT), software professionals are crucial for a company's success. However, they frequently experience low motivation as a result of competitive pressures, unclear incentives, and communication gaps. This underscores the critical need to handle these internal marketing challenges such as employee motivation, development, and engagement in IT organizations. Internal marketing practices aiming at attracting, engaging, and inspiring employees to use excellent services have become increasingly important. Internal marketing is attracting, engaging, and motivating employees as internal customers to utilize their quality services. Gamification has emerged as a significant trend over recent years. Despite the expanding use of gamification in the workplace, there is still a lack of focus on internal marketing tactics that incorporate gamification approaches. Thus, addressing the challenges related to employee motivation, development, and engagement is crucial. Therefore, as a principal contribution, this research presents a comprehensive framework designed to implement gamified solutions for software teams of IT organizations. This framework has been tailored to effectively address the challenges posed by internal marketing by optimizing motivation, development, and engagement. Moreover, the framework is applied to design and implement a gamified work portal (GWP) through a systematic process, including the design of low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes. Additionally, the GWP is validated through a quasi-experiment involving IT professionals from different IT organizations to authenticate the effectiveness of framework. Finally, the outclass results obtained by the gamification-based GWP highlight the effectiveness of the proposed gamification approach in enhancing development, motivation, and engagement while fostering ongoing knowledge of the employees.

A discovery platform to improve visibility of linked data across Australia.

BackgroundMetadata plays a crucial role in the health research infrastructure ecosystem. Despite the abundance of metadata for data collections in Australia, there is no simple way for researchers to search for standardised metadata about linked and linkable data collections across sectors or jurisdictions, making it an arduous and time-intensive task. MethodsThe project comprised three phases: an initial scoping exercise to understand the current state of metadata and best practice; a national consultation involving researchers data linkage staff and data custodians to develop a high-fidelity prototype; and a final build and implementation phase. The platform underwent several prototyping and testing cycles to refine the digital experience. ResultsKey expert interviews confirmed that there is a wealth of metadata available in Australia, but it is difficult for researchers to access and evaluate. Consultations with researchers identified opportunities to standardise metadata and provide a centralised platform to enhance the discoverability of linkable data collections for research. High value platform features included searching, browsing and filtering capabilities, variable list metadata, standardised formats, sample data, and frequently asked questions. The final design and functionality reflected user consultations and data custodian input on feasibility and resulted in the standardisation of metadata for linked data collections across sectors and jurisdictions. ConclusionThe Population Health Research Network developed and implemented a metadata platform to enable researchers to assess and evaluate the suitability of data collections for data linkage projects more readily. Improved metadata accessibility will save time and enhance the quality of linked data applications.

Information Platform for Antibiotics.

Antibiotic stewardship is continuously evolving to incorporate results from novel research, clinical findings, and specialist recommendations. Numerous dedicated information sources, including web-based solutions, are available to keep medical practitioners informed. However, the provided information is often extensive, requiring users to extract the relevant facts. This study aimed to deliver an information platform that provides references, links, and information in a straightforward and engaging manner. Implementing a high-fidelity prototype prioritized medical and patient-oriented functionalities, structured around questions and quizzes. Additionally, the platform offers access to professional references, such as official healthcare guidelines and scientific articles. The development process adhered to design principles and included user testing with established usability measures (SUS, Nielsen's heuristics), resulting in satisfactory scores from IT experts and somewhat lower scores from users. Although designed to cater to a broader range of users, more work is needed to improve usability for the general public.

Towards python program repair with generative pre-trained transformer (GPT-3.5)

ChatGPT has a great potential using a simple prompt design, which means further studies can be done to investigate the effect of different prompt designs. Complex software often contains hidden bugs in its source code. Recent study suggests that OpenAIs ChatGPT can perform numerous operations including code-to-code operations like code completion, translation, repair, and summarization, along with language-to-code operations such as code explanation and search. ChatGPTs dialogue capability can assist in generating more accurate bug fixes. However, it sometimes offers solutions without seeking further information, which can mislead users. To address this issue and enhance user experience, we conducted three design iterations to develop D-bugger a system enabling programmers to fix bugs more effectively. We conducted a survey to gauge the need for refinement, designed a low-fidelity prototype with key features, and then created a high-fidelity prototype evaluated by Python users. Our work aims to enhance the debugging process and user engagement.

A Digital Sexual Health Education Web Application for Resource-Poor Regions in Kenya: Implementation-Oriented Case Study Using the Intercultural Research Model.

Developing a digital educational application focused on sexual health education necessitates a framework that integrates cultural considerations effectively. Drawing from previous research, we identified the problem and essential requirements to incorporate cultural insights into the development of a solution. This study aims to explore the Solution Room of the self-established Intercultural Research Model, with a focus on creating a reusable framework for developing and implementing a widely accessible digital educational tool for sexual health. The study centers on advancing from a low-fidelity prototype (She!Masomo) to a high-fidelity prototype (We!Masomo), while evaluating its system usability through differentiation. This research contributes to the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 5. The research methodology is anchored in the Solution Room of the self-expanded Intercultural Research Model, which integrates cultural considerations. It uses a multimethod, user-centered design thinking approach, focusing on extensive human involvement for the open web-based application. This includes gathering self-assessed textual user feedback, conducting a System Usability Scale (SUS) analysis, and conducting 4 face-to-face semistructured expert interviews, following COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research) guidelines. Based on the identified limitations of the low-fidelity prototype, She!Masomo (SUS score 67), which were highlighted through textual user feedback (63/77) and prototype feature comparisons, iterative development and improvement were implemented. This process led to the creation of an enhanced high-fidelity prototype (We!Masomo). The improved effectiveness of the enhanced prototype was evaluated using the qualitative SUS analysis (82/90), resulting in a favorable score of 77.3, compared with the previous SUS score of 67 for the low-fidelity prototype. Highlighting the importance of accessible digital educational tools, this study conducted 4 expert interviews (4/4) and reported e-survey results following the CHERRIES (Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys) guideline. The digital educational platform, We!Masomo, is specifically designed to promote universal and inclusive free access to information. Therefore, the developed high-fidelity prototype was implemented in Kenya. The primary outcome of this research provides a comprehensive exploration of utilizing a case study methodology to advance the development of digital educational web tools, particularly focusing on cultural sensitivity and sensitive educational subjects. It offers critical insights for effectively introducing such tools in regions with limited resources. Nonetheless, it is crucial to emphasize that the findings underscore the importance of integrating culture-specific components during the design phase. This highlights the necessity of conducting a thorough requirement engineering analysis and developing a low-fidelity prototype, followed by an SUS analysis. These measures are particularly critical when disseminating sensitive information, such as sexual health, through digital platforms. RR2-10.1186/s12905-023-02839-6.

By collecting and analyzing qualitative data from six out of ten classified as small museums, the study aims to demonstrate the potential of such solutions, specifically designed for small museums in Cyprus. CyprusArk is a Content Management System, serving as a stand-alone platform for each museum. Instances of the solution will be hosted, supported, and maintained at a Cyprus national infrastructure in a high-performance computer facility (HPC), at The Cyprus Institute (CyI). The study has broader implications for the global museum sector, as it showcases the potential of new digital tools to enhance online access to cultural heritage resources and contribute to the dissemination of information “knowledge” among the broader population.

Evaluating the Usability of an mHealth App for Empowering Cancer Survivors With Disabilities: Heuristic Evaluation and Usability Testing.

More than 18 million cancer survivors are living in the United States. The effects of cancer and its treatments can have cognitive, psychological, physical, and social consequences that many survivors find incredibly disabling. Posttreatment support is often unavailable or underused, especially for survivors living with disabilities. This leaves them to deal with new obstacles and struggles on their own, oftentimes feeling lost during this transition. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have been shown to effectively aid cancer survivors in dealing with many of the aftereffects of cancer and its treatments; these interventions hold immense potential for survivors living with disabilities. We developed a prototype for WeCanManage, an mHealth-delivered self-management intervention to empower cancer survivors living with disabilities through problem-solving, mindfulness, and self-advocacy training. Our study conducted a heuristic evaluation of the WeCanManage high-fidelity prototype and assessed its usability among cancer survivors with known disabilities. We evaluated the prototype using Nielsen's 10 principles of heuristic evaluation with 22 human-computer interaction university students. On the basis of the heuristic evaluation findings, we modified the prototype and conducted usability testing on 10 cancer survivors with a variety of known disabilities, examining effectiveness, efficiency, usability, and satisfaction, including a completion of the modified System Usability Scale (SUS). The findings from the heuristic evaluation were mostly favorable, highlighting the need for a help guide, addressing accessibility concerns, and enhancing the navigation experience. After usability testing, the average SUS score was 81, indicating a good-excellent design. The participants in the usability testing sample expressed positive reactions toward the app's design, educational content and videos, and the available means of connecting with others. They identified areas for improvement, such as improving accessibility, simplifying navigation within the community forums, and providing a more convenient method to access the help guide. Overall, usability testing showed positive results for the design of WeCanManage. The course content and features helped participants feel heard, understood, and less alone.

Advancing the Care Experience for patients receiving Palliative care as they Transition from hospital to Home (ACEPATH): Codesigning an intervention to improve patient and family caregiver experiences.

Returning home from the hospital for palliative-focused care is a common transition, but the process can be emotionally distressing and logistically challenging for patients and caregivers. While interventions exist to aid in the transition, none have been developed in partnership with patients and caregivers. To undergo the initial stages of codesign to create an intervention (Advancing the Care Experience for patients receiving Palliative care as they Transition from hospital to Home [ACEPATH]) to improve the experience of hospital-to-home transitions for adult patients receiving palliative care and their caregiver(s). The codesign process consisted of (1) the development of codesign workshop (CDW) materials to communicate key findings from prior research to CDW participants; (2) CDWs with patients, caregivers and healthcare providers (HCPs); and (3) low-fidelity prototype testing to review CDW outputs and develop low-fidelity prototypes of interventions. HCPs provided feedback on the viability of low-fidelity prototypes. Three patients, seven caregivers and five HCPs participated in eight CDWs from July 2022 to March 2023. CDWs resulted in four intervention prototypes: a checklist, quick reference sheets, a patient/caregiver workbook and a transition navigator role. Outputs from CDWs included descriptions of interventions and measures of success. In April 2023, the four prototypes were presented in four low-fidelity prototype sessions to 20 HCPs. Participants in the low-fidelity prototype sessions provided feedback on what the interventions could look like, what problems the interventions were trying to solve and concerns about the interventions. Insights gained from this codesign work will inform high-fidelity prototype testing and the eventual implementation and evaluation of an ACEPATH intervention that aims to improve hospital-to-home transitions for patients receiving a palliative approach to care. Patients and caregivers with lived experience attended CDWs aimed at designing an intervention to improve the transition from hospital to home. Their direct involvement aligns the intervention with patients' and caregivers' needs when transitioning from hospital to home. Furthermore, four patient/caregiver advisors were engaged throughout the project (from grant writing through to manuscript writing) to ensure all stages were patient- and caregiver-centred.

“The Spanish Cathedral”, a Prototype of Mobile Application for the Access to the Religious Cultural Heritage of Gothic Hispanic Cathedrals

After an in-depth examination of the communication strategies, digital offerings, and audio guides currently employed by various Spanish cathedrals constructed during the 12th and 15th centuries, it was detected that there was a need to gradually build and improve an integral and unified tool that serves as a reference for the learning of the artistic elements that characterize the mentioned constructions. This will contribute to both the promotion of the cathedral —understood as an ensemble— and its communication with the public. This article introduces the conceptualization and design of the mobile application “La Catedral Hispana”, a high-fidelity prototype that seeks to promote Spanish cathedrals with Gothic elements in their construction. This prototype encompasses two areas of study for its task: the research of Gothic architecture in cathedrals and the principles of user experience (interaction design, information architecture, and interface development), for the correct development of the sample, using the Figma software for its design and implementation. The objectives lay not only in providing a tool that facilitates access and shares academic information, but also in establishing relationships among the diverse Spanish cathedrals by means of their common features. The Spanish Cathedral is a proposal for promoting the democratization of cultural information, the learning of the value of heritage, and the development of a new solid and accessible communication channel that enables the target audience to both value and recognize one of the most important types of constructions as a part of Spanish identity.

A user study on regulating upset emotion in workplace through HELMO

The rising prevalence of emotional distress resulting from mental health pressures constitutes a paramount issue within the context of a rapidly evolving work environment. The detrimental consequences experienced by those affected by this phenomenon are of considerable magnitude. In order to address these issues, it is possible to design relevant applications that can assist individuals in identifying workplace disputes and devising effective strategies to alleviate emotional strain. Previous research has predominantly focused on investigating the potential of robots to exert a positive influence on conflict dynamics within a team-based problem-solving context through their ability to address interpersonal violations post-conflict. Consequently, there is a limited understanding regarding the specific criteria via which robots may contribute to conflict resolution. This study encompasses user research, analysis of essential elements, and the proposal of a high-fidelity prototype named HELMO. This prototype provides a range of daily functions that can assist individuals in recognizing conflicts and mitigating the danger of experiencing negative emotions. The findings indicate that individuals have a high demand for detecting conflicts and releasing emotional pressure in many subject matters. The mental health application known as HELMO shows promise in addressing the difficulties associated with emotional discomfort that may arise during or following workplace confrontations.

The use of information and communication technology could increase the quantity and quality of small medium enterprises (SME) production, including batik industry. This study focuses on the development of batik 4.0, a custom batik mobile-based interface that makes it easier for customer which can be used to quickly produce high-quality digital batik designs. The findings of this study simplify the ordering process for potential clients who want to acquire custom batik designs. Ease of transactions, namely down payments (DP) where users can make advance payments, so that users are relieved in terms of payment transactions. In designing mobile devices, applications, and user interfaces (UI), it is important to consider the user experience (UX). This paper focuses on UX design rooted in the user-centered design (UCD) approach, placing emphasis on understanding user requirements and prioritizing empathy for users. This ensures the recognition of user needs and the creation of a high-fidelity prototype. Then it was validated by the UI experts to identify problems and user difficulties in interacting with the UI. The experts responded positively towards the application and suggest for prototype improvement. Lastly, UX testing; based on the user experience questionnaire (UEQ)-S benchmark results, the batik 4.0 mobile is included in the “Excellent” category.

A dynamic approach for visualizing and exploring concept hierarchies from textbooks.

In this study, we propose a visualization technique to explore and visualize concept hierarchies generated from a textbook in the legal domain. Through a human-centered design process, we developed a tool that allows users to effectively navigate through and explore complex hierarchical concepts in three kinds of traversal techniques: top-down, middle-out, and bottom-up. Our concept hierarchies offer an overview over a given domain, with increasing level of detail toward the bottom of the hierarchy which is consisting of entities. In the legal use case we considered, the concepts were adapted from section headings in a legal textbook, whereas references to law or legal cases inside the textbook became entities. The design of this tool is refined following various steps such as gathering user needs, pain points of an existing visualization, prototyping, testing, and refining. The resulting interface offers users several key features such as dynamic search and filter, explorable concept nodes, and a preview of leaf nodes at every stage. A high-fidelity prototype was created to test our theory and design. To test our concept, we used the System Usability Scale as a way to measure the prototype's usability, a task-based survey to asses the tool's ability in assisting users in gathering information and interacting with the prototype, and finally mouse tracking to understand user interaction patterns. Along with this, we gathered audio and video footage of users when participating in the study. This footage also helped us in getting feedback when the survey responses required further information. The data collected provided valuable insights to set the directions for extending this study. As a result, we have accounted for varying hierarchy depths, longer text spans than only one to two words in the elements of the hierarchy, searchability, and exploration of the hierarchies. At the same time, we aimed for minimizing visual clutter and cognitive overload. We show that existing approaches are not suitable to visualize the type of data which we support with our visualization.

A Digital Sexual Health Intervention for Urban Adolescent and Young Adult Male Emergency Department Patients: User-Centered Design Approach.

Adolescents and young adults frequently present to the emergency department (ED) for medical care and continue to have many unmet sexual health needs. Digital interventions show promise to improve adolescent and young adult sexual health; yet, few interventions focus on male ED patients, despite their infrequent use of contraceptives and rising rates of sexually transmitted infections. This paper describes the design and development of Dr. Eric (Emergency Room Interventions to Improve Care), a digital app focused on promoting condom use among sexually active adolescent and young adult male ED patients. This study followed 4 phases of app development, which were based on user-centered design and the software development lifecycle. In phase 1, define, we explored our target population and target health problem (infrequent condom use among male ED patients) by collecting key stakeholder input and conducting in-depth interviews with male patients and urban ED medical providers. In phase 2, discover, we partnered with a digital product agency to explore user experience and digital strategy. In phase 3, design, we refined Dr. Eric's content, a 5-part sexual health educational module and a 10-week SMS text messaging program that focuses on condom use and partner communication about effective contraceptives. We conducted semistructured interviews with male adolescent and young adults to gather feedback on the app and perform usability testing, editing the app after each interview. We also interviewed informatics experts to assess the usability of a high-fidelity prototype. Interviews were recorded and analyzed via descriptive thematic analysis; informatic expert feedback was categorized by Nielsen's heuristic principles. In phase 4, develop, we created the technical architecture and built a responsive web app. These findings were gathered leading to the final version of the digital Dr. Eric program. Using data and key stakeholder input from phases 1 and 2, we iteratively created the Dr. Eric prototype for implementation in the ED setting. Interviews with 8 adolescent and young adult male ED patients suggested that users preferred (1) straightforward information, (2) a clear vision of the purpose of Dr. Eric, (3) open-ended opportunities to explore family planning goals, (4) detailed birth control method information, and (5) games presenting novel information with rewards. Five usability experts provided heuristic feedback aiming to improve the ease of use of the app. These findings led to the final version of Dr. Eric. Following these mobile health development phases, we created a digital sexual health mobile health intervention incorporating the principles of user experience and interface design. Dr. Eric needs further evaluation to assess its efficacy in increasing condom use among adolescent and young adult male ED patients. Researchers can use this framework to form future digital health ED-based digital interventions.

Mixed-method usability investigation of ARROWS: augmented reality for roadway work zone safety

This article explores the usability and user experience challenges of ARROWS, a novel augmented reality (AR) and wearable technology (WT) safety system for roadway work zones, an area with limited existing usability research. We utilized a mixed-method approach with two complementary experiments in indoor and outdoor settings, using the Wizard of Oz methodology and a high-fidelity prototype. We focused on identifying usability challenges, factors contributing to user experience and the distinct needs of highway workers, documenting results using the system usability scale (SUS), the rating scale mental effort (RSME) and a trust score. Participants rated the usability of ARROWS above average in both settings, while making a reasonable level of mental effort. The findings also indicate a significant correlation between perceived trust and usability, highlighting the importance of trust in user experience.

Advancing Diabetes Self-Management: A Novel Smartphone Application Featuring a Scoring Algorithm for Tailored User Engagement.

We developed and evaluated an intelligent diabetes assistant application (Diabetter) for the self-management of diabetes. It suggested that increasing the patient's interest and participation in using smartphone apps is important for the effectiveness of diabetes management apps. After evaluating all-encompassing features for diabetes management, we divided the selected factors into sub-factors for use in the application. Then, we created the first high-fidelity prototype using related programs and conducted early user testing to validate and improve Diabetter. To handle the user transaction time and keep them motivated, we designed and implemented a scoring system based on the nudge theory rules within the app. To evaluate Diabetter's impact on diabetes self-management, we measured HbA1c levels after a prolonged period. The Diabetter prototype was developed and modified in a revised version for better user interaction with the app. The scoring system increased the input of users' information, which resulted in more analysis and recommendations to users. Clinical studies showed that as a result of continuous input of information from users who had been using the application for a longer period of time, their HbA1c levels were within the healthy range. The results demonstrate that the Diabetter application has been able to play an effective role in diabetes self-management by increasing users' app usage time. However, future study is needed to provide a better interpretation.

Museum Maya Indonesia: An immersive museum prototype for cultural education

The development of this virtual museum was a collaborative project of lecturers and students as an effort to create learning media about Indonesia’s cultural identity and history. This was practiced-based research that culminated in the creation of a high-fidelity prototype. Design thinking was used to realize ideas by considering existing problems. The empathize and define stages were conducted on 33 high school students to find out students’ insights about museums and their experiences in real or virtual museums. Visualization of objects with 3D photogrammetric techniques was used to achieve a realistic impression and a more immersive feeling. The museum also features audiovisuals, infographics, motion graphics, and animated objects. This prototype was tested directly on 12 students who were divided into three user groups, namely mobile phones, laptops, and VR. Mobile users experienced problems in accessing this museum, while laptop users managed to access the museum and had a very positive reaction. VR users felt a much more emotional experience. The test of a prototype in a school has shown that such a virtual museum will be attractive and engaging for students and schools, especially in remote areas, and should be further developed.
