Description
Andreas Schnitzbauer and co-authors test the usability of a digital prehab app meant to get patients fit for major surgery, in a study from 2024. Prehab coaches patients on exercise, food, and mental health before an operation. Staff shortages make remote digital tools attractive, but medical devices must pass strict usability checks.
Eight experts and eight lay users judged paper mockups first, then a working version of the app weeks later. Each group faced set tasks, such as spotting risks in safety scenarios. Scores came from app rating scales, trust checklists, and observer notes. The aim was at least 80 percent agreement between raters. The process was built to surface design flaws and hidden risks before real use.
