Stud Health Technol Inform. 2025 Jun 26:328:283-287. doi: 10.3233/SHTI250720.

Abstract

This study evaluates the user experience and usability of a web-based tool, AICP, that supports healthcare professionals in creating personalized care plans with the help of clinical decision support (CDS), using the System Usability Scale (SUS), User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), and Single Ease Questions (SEQs). The results show high usability (SUS: 75.45) and positive user experience, particularly in stimulation and novelty. Following CDS recommendations in a structured way and displaying patients' care plan adherence in charts and tables were found effective. However, dynamic content changes and raw sensor data presentation were identified as areas for improvement. Combining data through reasoning or allowing users to make inferences could further improve usability, supporting better patient care coordination.
