The aim was to develop and assess the usability of an integrated neonatal incubator in a NICU environment.
Developed a multi-functional neonatal incubator incorporating various medical device functionalities.
Applied user-centered design principles and usability engineering through an iterative design process.
Conducted usability evaluations with 20 NICU clinicians using 13 scenarios and 39 tasks.
Measured outcomes with task success rates and usability questionnaires like SUS and NASA-TLX.
Overall task success rate was 95.64%, with high success in various functions.
Success rates included 94.63% for incubator tasks, 98.33% for monitoring and phototherapy tasks.
The mean SUS score was 78.63, indicating good usability above the benchmark of 68.
No significant differences were found in usability scores based on clinical roles or experience.
