Remote training supervision is a new approach that combines medical and IT knowledge into one system. Such a system enables patients with cardiac diseases to continue a supervised training-on an ergometer bicycle and even when exercising outdoors-after rehabilitation phase in a clinic. The goal of the study presented in this paper is to develop user interfaces for an ergometer. These interfaces have to allow an intuitive interaction and to take the different capabilities, needs and preferences of potential users-often elderly people having visual impairments and different IT knowledge-into account. In order to create minimal attention user interfaces it is mandatory to apply user centered techniques, which involve potential users into the design phase of the development process. The evaluation of the study served as basis for the next iteration of the user centered design process and raised new functional requirements to the underlying system from the user's perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
