Researchers evaluated the usability of the Clinical Outcome Measures Electronic Toolkit (COMET) mobile app, which was developed to facilitate the assessment of commonly used patient-reported and performance-based outcome measures in O&P.
The app was evaluated among 15 people with lower-limb amputations and nine clinicians using the System Usability Scale (SUS).
The mean SUS score among the nonclinician group was 84 ± 12 (Grade: A), and among the clinicians it was 80 ± 14 (Grade: A-).
The researchers concluded that there were no significant differences in SUS score between the two groups, indicating that the app was acceptable to both groups of participants in clinical settings.
The study, “Usability testing of the COMET (Clinical Outcome Measures Electronic Toolkit) mobile app for outcome measure data collection in individuals with lower limb amputation and clinicians,” was published in Assistive Technology.
