This project is to redesign the input interface of an existing patient information gathering system and to conduct initial usability tests that will guide further development of the system going forward. The project will take an existing patient information system that has been developed by the industrial partner and redesign its primary input pages for use on a new platform - the iPad. This redesign will generate an initial prototype that will serve as the basis for a complete redesign of the entire existing system, once the redesign has been optimized through a series of usability tests in the real world. The scope of this project is to generate the initial redesigned prototype and to conduct initial usability testing using this prototype to generate user feedback that will guide the redesign of the entire existing system. The goal is to develop an initial design template that can be iteratively improved over time through usability testing and applied to the entire system. Extending the prototype to the entire system will form the basis of a future research proposal.
