Assessment of the usability of a digital learning technology prototype for monitoring intracranial pressure1 1 Paper extrated from Master's Thesis "Educação a distância sobre o método minimamente invasivo para monitoração da pressão intracraniana l", presented to Universidade Federal de São Carlos, São Carlos, SP, Brazil.

ABSTRACT

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.
