What is Usability?

Usability testing is used to determine whether a product is easy or difficult to use. Products can be as diverse as a medical device (medical device usability) , a website, a mobile phone or a mobile phone application – anything that a human interacts with. The feedback gained during a user-experience appointment enables companies to develop their products further whilst adhering to regulatory guidelines.  Guardian Usability specialise in usability recruitment for which we need a wide variety of medical grades to attend studies e.g. Nurses, SHOs, Registrars as well as members of the general public.

What happens during Usability Testing?

Guardian Usability will pay you for your time to review a medical product or website. You will be asked for your feedback about a product or website so that our clients can gain an understanding of the usability of the product or website.  These projects can be held anywhere in the U.K. For the medical product studies there is never any real-life patient care involved.  For example, you may be testing a product whilst interacting with an artificial wound.  Sometimes the studies are telephone-based or home-based or in the form of an anonymous written questionnaire.

What does Usability Testing involve?

Guardian Usability’s candidates can attend your company site or we can arrange conference room hire if preferred. We can also assist you with the moderation of the studies or project manage the study in its entirety for you.  The medical projects do not involve real-life patient care; your product would be used in conjunction with an artificial wound – we can assist you with sourcing these items should you require this service.  Alternatively, we can project manage completion of written questionnaires or telephone interviews with our participants.
