Short Description
The activities of ACMIT comprise user-oriented development from the very beginning all the way to testing and validation of devices concerning their usability. As a result, we deliver a usability file according to IEC 62366. Our all-in usability package includes all usability engineering tasks from start of product development to the usability file ready for certification.
To perform realistic usability tests, our usability laboratories are fully equipped rooms (experimental operating room, everyday surroundings and a control room with modern HD-Video- and Audio-Technology) which can be used to reproduce different test environments.
We offer all usability relevant work packages like
- Review of already existing technical documentation, e.g. intended use, risk management. Result is a preliminary Use Specification.
- Performance and analysis of User Research, e.g. contextual inquiry, observation etc.
- Performance of a Use Error Risk Analysis to determine hazard-related use scenarios.
- Conceptual User Interface Design regarding usability according to generally accepted standards and style guides.
- Planning of tests, recruitment of representative test users and realisation of the tests.
- Performance of formative tests, e.g. perform and document verification, expert reviews, cognitive walk-throughs, usability tests.
- Summative tests including documentation, e.g. usability tests on site (using our mobile usability lab equipment) or directly in our usability laboratories.
- Performance of summative usability tests, i.e. usability studies on-site (mobile usability lab) or in our fully equipped usability lab consisting of an experimental OR, a living space environment and a surveillance room with modern video and audio technology. As a result, we deliver a comprehensive test report including analysis of the outcome and suggestions for minimization of risks and/or improving overall user experience.
