Tiivistelmä
This bachelor’s thesis was commissioned by MoveSole Ltd and the primary goal of this work was to create a handbook of summative usability testing for medical devices. The process started by gathering references from several web-sites, books and standards concerning usability testing and medical device designing.
The handbook was created by collecting the relevant information from the references and by following European medical device regulations. Using the collected guidelines, a summative evaluation plan of usability was created for a MoveSole StepLab smart insole system. The created plan was verified with an internal pilot test.
The author is working as a mobile software developer at MoveSole Ltd having a responsibility for a StepLab mobile application. One reason to carry out this bachelor’s thesis was to accumulate usability perspective for the author in a user interface design and a software development.
