The relatively rapid transition from a paper-based system to a digital system in healthcare has not always employed a sophisticated integration of usability concepts. Yet usability is critical to safety and to effectiveness of the electronic health record, and regulators and policy makers have been increasingly focused on this area. This panel will provide a variety of perspectives on this important issue, ranging from a description of the problem based on current vendor usability practices; recommendations regarding domain content rich usability processes including use cases, assessments, and scenarios; and the extension of usability assessments and design improvements to post-system implementation.

This study explores whether labeling AI as either "trustworthy" or "reliable" influences user perceptions and acceptance of automotive AI technologies. Utilizing a one-way between-subjects design, the research presented online participants (N = 478) with a text presenting guidelines for either trustworthy or reliable AI, before asking them to evaluate 3 vignette scenarios and fill in a modified version of the Technology Acceptance Model which covers different variables, such as perceived ease of use, human-like trust, and overall attitude. While labeling AI as "trustworthy" did not significantly influence people's judgements on specific scenarios, it increased perceived ease of use and human-like trust, namely benevolence, suggesting a facilitating influence on usability and an anthropomorphic effect on user perceptions.

On-site visual quantification of alkaline phosphatase activity in cells using a smartphone-based approach.

Anal Chim Acta

January 2025

Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Cytochemistry, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Changsha University of Science and Technology, Changsha, 410114, PR China.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a critical biomarker associated with various physiological and pathological processes, making its detection essential for disease diagnosis and biomedical research. In this study, we developed a novel, simple, and portable visual quantification method for ALP activity in cells using an efficient CuZnS nanomaterial with peroxidase-like properties, integrated into a smartphone-based platform for enhanced usability. The CuZnS nanomaterial catalyzes the breakdown of H₂O₂, generating ·OH radicals that oxidize the colorless substrate TMB into blue oxTMB, which is subsequently reduced back to TMB by ascorbic acid (AA).
