Heuristics Identified in Health Data–Sharing Preferences of Patients With Cancer: Qualitative Focus Group Study

Heuristics Identified in Health Data–Sharing Preferences of Patients With Cancer: Qualitative Focus Group Study

However, very few have studied heuristics specifically used in health data sharing [7], meaning that the impact of heuristics on a patient’s consent to share health data is not well understood. This study addresses this evidence gap by asking what heuristics, if any, are used when deciding whether to share personal health data for research purposes and how they impact the outcome of a stated decision.

User-Centered Design for Designing and Evaluating a Prototype of a Data Collection Tool to Submit Information About Incidents of Violence Against Sex Workers: Multiple Methods Approach

User-Centered Design for Designing and Evaluating a Prototype of a Data Collection Tool to Submit Information About Incidents of Violence Against Sex Workers: Multiple Methods Approach

This was followed with the lead author attempting to apply Nielsen Heuristics to assess and refine the prototypes. Not all steps needed extensive revision. The initial paper prototype included 7 screens. The prototype was designed using the free version of Figma software online tool as of April 26, 2022, which allows the creation of 3 pages only.

Using a Human-Centered Design Process to Evaluate and Optimize User Experience of a Website (InPACT at Home) to Promote Youth Physical Activity: Case Study

Using a Human-Centered Design Process to Evaluate and Optimize User Experience of a Website (InPACT at Home) to Promote Youth Physical Activity: Case Study

This evaluation is conducted based on Jakob Nielsen’s 10 usability heuristics, which are high-level guidelines grounded in an understanding of human behavior, psychology, and information processing. These principles cover various aspects such as system status visibility, matching with the real world, user control, consistency, error prevention, recognition over recall, flexibility, minimalist design, error recovery assistance, and the provision of help and documentation [38].

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

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

While Nielsen’s 10-point usability heuristics [36] are geared toward computer-based applications, most of these are also applicable in mobile app design. The SUS questionnaire was also commonly used in usability testing studies for examining m Health prototypes [29,31,37]. We designed a high-fidelity prototype for We Can Manage, an evidence-informed m Health self-management intervention, aimed at empowering individuals with tools to effectively manage cancer as a chronic condition.

Using Clinical Data Visualizations in Electronic Health Record User Interfaces to Enhance Medical Student Diagnostic Reasoning: Randomized Experiment

Using Clinical Data Visualizations in Electronic Health Record User Interfaces to Enhance Medical Student Diagnostic Reasoning: Randomized Experiment

Colloquially, System 1 is described as “your gut feeling” and requires minimal cognitive effort due to the use of past experiences and heuristics, whereas System 2 requires significant cognitive effort and can be associated with hypothesis creation and testing [6]. The System-1–type diagnostic reasoning is assumed to take years of experience to develop and is commonly seen in seasoned physicians, whereas the System-2–type diagnostic reasoning is more associated with learners, such as medical students [7].

REDCap Delivery of a Web-Based Intervention for Patients With Voice Disorders: Usability Study

REDCap Delivery of a Web-Based Intervention for Patients With Voice Disorders: Usability Study

Our team used well-known heuristics [26] that have been used to evaluate both software and web-based interfaces. The goal of heuristic evaluation is to identify areas in which a web-based intervention meets or does not meet widely accepted guidelines for interface design. Two usability research assistants who were not involved in intervention development conducted the heuristic evaluation.

Enabling Better Use of Person-Generated Health Data in Stroke Rehabilitation Systems: Systematic Development of Design Heuristics

Enabling Better Use of Person-Generated Health Data in Stroke Rehabilitation Systems: Systematic Development of Design Heuristics

Step 3: Correlational stage Identify the characteristics that the heuristics should have. Original heuristics [23] may be used as a basis. Clarify the need to consider the target technology domain. Step 4: Specification stage Formally specify the set of proposed specialized heuristics, using a standard template. Prioritize heuristics, and report any missing elements that need to be added.

Inferring Sexually Transmitted Infection Risk From Attractiveness in Online Dating Among Adolescents and Young Adults: Exploratory Study

Inferring Sexually Transmitted Infection Risk From Attractiveness in Online Dating Among Adolescents and Young Adults: Exploratory Study

Like other decision makers, when they lack statistical estimates, they may rely on heuristics to judge risk [30]. Online dating invites such heuristic judgments in decisions about engaging others as potential sexual partners. In this study, we examined the potential role of an attractiveness heuristic in sexual risk judgment by asking participants to predict which of two photographs came from a website for individuals with self-reported STIs.

Engagement and Usability of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Mobile App Compared With Web-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Among College Students: Randomized Heuristic Trial

Engagement and Usability of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Mobile App Compared With Web-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Among College Students: Randomized Heuristic Trial

We collected data on the usability of Mood Trainer and Mood GYM using a heuristics survey with a 5-point Likert scale for responses based on Nielsen heuristics [48]. The heuristic characteristics which were studied are summarized in Table 1. Summary of Nielsen heuristics evaluated in the study. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the mobile CBT using a heuristic evaluation survey and evaluated the user engagement through GA in Mood Trainer and modules completed in Mood GYM.
