Principles of Usability applied to the IMPAct System (Dix, Findlay, Abowd, & Beale 2004,Human-ComputerInteraction)
Learnability (the ease with which new users can begin effective interaction and achieve maximal performance)
•Predictability– Each age group and/or health screening guidelines performs in the same
manner over life•Generalizability– Can be used for the entire lifespan of an individual
•Consistency– Each tab, guideline and age group sequence performs in the same manner
with the same headingsFlexibility (the multiplicity of ways the user and system exchange information)
• Dialogue initiative–Appointments and selected information entered directly onto familiar
calendar system• Multithreading
– Multiple age groups can be placed on a single calendar• Task migratability–User can change dates and reset system when changes in guidelines are
imposed from healthcare provider InteractiveMedicalPlanner.com

Principles of Usability cont...Flexibility cont...
• Substitutivity– Can be transferred and used from different computer systems ; desktop,
mobile app• Customizability– Specific age groups and populations can apply information to themselves,
friends and family
Robustness (support provided the user in determining successful achievement of goal-directed behaviour)
• Observability– Familiarity with Google system and outlook allows user to troubleshoot and
adjust system•Recoverability–Use can take corrective action once an error has been recognized
•Responsiveness– Rapid rate of communication with the system– Stable
• Task conformance–Guidelines and calendar population is complete and adequate
Topics Leading to Project Design:

• Pediatrics• Complete vaccination among children• Proportion of preschool children aged 5
years and under who receive vision screening
• Women 18-65• Female breast cancer deaths (Per 100,000) • Percent of women age 18+ that report Pap

• Vaccines for diseases protection• Hepatitis C - declined from an average of
450,000 in the 1980s to about 80,000 in 1999 due to vaccination. 5,000 persons will die each year from hepatitis B-related liver disease resulting in over $700 million in medical and work loss costs.
• Measles - In 1960 (before vaccine), 3 to 4 million cases/yr , 48,000 children hospitalized/each year with 400 to 500 deaths from complications. In 2008, 140 cases in US.
• Screenings for early cancer detection that have up to 90% cure rates (CDC, 2007)• Colorectal; 2nd male cancer, and 3rd in
women –142, 672 diagnosed; 53,219 deaths (U.S).
• Prostate; 1st male cancer – 223,307 diagnosed; 29,093 deaths (U.S).
• Breast; 2nd female cancer – 202,964 diagnosed; 40,598 deaths (U.S.).

Healthcare prevention is
complex and age specific but vital
because preventive
healthcare saves lives!
Organization and scheduling for
vaccinations, examinations and
screenings requires a great deal of
information and time.
A well-designed, easy-
to-use, flexible,
ubiquitous and robust
healthcare device can
quickly and thoroughly
organize preventive
healthcare for all
family members on a
familiar calendar
The IMPAct
application can
readily provide a
flexible calendar that
schedules you and
your family’s routine
healthcare for the
rest of your healthy
lives!
