Get the know-how you need to plan, conduct, and success­­fully analyze usability evaluations on your own

We will first introduce you to the similarities and differences between for­ma­tive and summative evaluations in the context of the relevant require­ments. Based on best practices, you will learn when each usability evalua­tion method is best used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the user interface and unknown use errors. This will increase your chances of develo­ping devices that are not only safe but also successful.

Practical expe­rience instead of mere theory: Expe­rience usability evaluations first­hand in the labratory

You will plan a summative evaluation on your own as part of active partici­pation in a real-life case study. We will then head to our fully equipped usability lab, where you will have the oppor­tunity to slip into the role of moderator or note-taker, conduct the study you have just planned, and then analyze and document the results in accordance with industry stan­dards. This practical experience enables sustainable learning and allows you to directly apply the knowledge you have acquired in your company.

Save unnecessary effort through the targeted use of tools and templates for data collection and data analysis

You will learn how the intelligent use of tools can simplify usability evalua­tions and significantly reduce the time required for evaluation. We show you how to easily document observed use difficulties, use errors, and other relevant observations, evaluate them systematically, and create a clear, standards-compliant report. For documentation, you receive our tried-and-tested templates, which we have used successfully in hundreds of projects.

Benefit from the many years of practical experience of our usability expert

Our experienced usability expert has successfully conducted numerous formative and summative usability evaluations for various medical and IVD medical devices worldwide. Benefit from this comprehensive practical knowledge and valuable tips and tricks to conduct successful usability evaluations yourself in the future.

Certificate

There is a voluntary online exam at the end of the seminar (duration: approx. 20 min). By passing this exam, you will receive a certificate proving your newly acquired knowledge and skills in addition to your attendance confirmation.
