Abstract.A usability model is a hierarchical structure encompassing the key elements such as users, user interface and interaction between them. It is a generic template which is independent of usability evaluation methods and provides flexibility for adaptation in different contexts and domains. In this paper, a usability model for medical user interfaces, especially for ventilator systems in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), is proposed based on Norman's actionoriented seven-step model to capture a related medical context. A ventilator system is a therapeutic device, which provides a respiratory support to critically-ill patients. Currently, a usability of user interfaces of ventilator systems is evaluated by typical usability evaluation methods from software industry. These evaluation methods miss out important elements in medical context. Therefore, a need for a specialized usability model for medical user interfaces is fulfilled with a proposed usability model encompassing vital elements such as medical user, user interface, ICU environment and time required. This usability model is validated first, through a human work analysis using videos of selected tasks with medical user interfaces and then, with an overview of critical factors affecting medical user interfaces in ICU. In future, a proposed usability model can be integrated with a suitable usability evaluation method for evaluating medical user interfaces to identify related medical usability problems more effectively.

“…This survey is based on convenient sampling [12] and is primarily used in categorization of critical factors based on system evaluation parameters and user interface design. It is really hectic and tricky challenge to get access to busy ICU physicians [13] and make them to respond to such questionnaire, which has 38 critical factors. It has taken more than six weeks to collect responses to the questionnaire.…”

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of critical factors, which affect on-screen user interfaces of medical devices in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A literature survey with relevant research publications has led to selection of thirty eight critical factors in ICU. The critical factors identified are categorized into various groups based on three major aspects-system evaluation parameters, constituents of patient management and user interface design. Physicians' survey, in which five physicians are involved, is used to categorize the identified critical factors into related groups. In the process, fourteen critical factors are mainly selected, which affect on-screen user interface design of medical devices. The applicability of such factors is demonstrated with the help of a case study of head-injury patient admitted in ICU. The critical factors identified are definitely useful to device manufacturers, user interface designers, ICU administrators and physicians for improved device design, ICU resource management and patient care.
