Design In The “Medical” Wild
Leah Kulp, Aleksandra Sarcevic · 2018
We describe the challenges of deploying a digital checklist for medical emergencies during an in-the-wild design and evaluation study. The in-the-wild approach allowed for many design iterations to meet the requirements of a safety-critical setting, while also providing lessons for designing in the wild. We faced two major challenges: working with research coordinators as study mediators and adapting training strategies to busy user schedules. We discuss these challenges and approaches to addressing them.
