Assessment of the usability of a digital learning technology prototype for monitoring intracranial pressure

OBJECTIVE: to assess the usability of a digital learning technology prototype as a new method for minimally invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure. METHOD: descriptive study using a quantitative approach on assessing the usability of a prototype based on Nielsen's ten heuristics. Four experts in the area of Human-Computer interaction participated in the study. RESULTS: the evaluation delivered eight violated heuristics and 31 usability problems in the 32 screens of the prototype. CONCLUSION: the suggestions of the evaluators were critical for developing an intuitive, user-friendly interface and will be included in the final version of the digital learning technology.
