Field-testing patient decision-support technologies (PDSTs) like Prosdex involved user feedback on information and features. This led to an improved design and a new two-stage model for future PDST development and field-testing.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Decision Support
  • Prostate Cancer Research

Background:

  • Field-testing is crucial for patient decision-support technologies (PDSTs) per international standards.
  • Prosdex, a Web-based prostate-specific antigen (PSA) PDST, was developed for the UK Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a field-testing model for PDSTs based on the Prosdex development experience.
  • To explore user reactions to Prosdex prototypes and their impact on development.
  • To refine PDST development through user feedback.

Main Methods:

  • Semistructured interviews with 27 men aged 40-75 across five Prosdex prototypes.
  • Participants provided feedback on Prosdex content, features, and usability in home settings.

E-Patient Counseling Trial (E-PACO): Computer Based Education versus Nurse Counseling for Patients to Prepare for Colonoscopy

Published on: August 1, 2019

  • Feedback on comments and technical issues informed iterative prototype development.

    • Main Results:

    • User responses focused on information detail, viewpoint balance, and site navigation.
    • Navigation criticisms led to the addition of an interactive contents page in Prototype 2.
    • A two-stage field-testing model (exploratory and prototype) was developed.

    Conclusions:

    • Field-testing of the Prosdex PDST yielded generally favorable user responses.
    • User feedback directly influenced Prosdex design, notably adding an interactive contents page.
    • A novel two-stage model for PDST field-testing was established.
