Summary
The computerized Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation (OMES) protocol is a valid and user-friendly tool. This digital system streamlines data entry for orofacial myofunctional disorder assessments.
Area of Science:
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Digital Health Tools
- Usability Engineering
Background:
- The Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation (OMES) protocol is a standard assessment tool.
- A digital, computerized version of OMES was developed to improve efficiency.
- Evaluating the usability and validity of this new digital tool is crucial for clinical adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and test the usability of a computerized version of the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation (OMES) protocol.
- To analyze the validity and functionality of the digital OMES system.
- To assess user interface validation and heuristic usability principles.
Main Methods:
- Development of a computerized OMES protocol.
- Validation of the user interface using 100 existing OMES records.
- Usability testing with three evaluators transposing 25 printed protocols to the digital system.
- Analysis of data transposition time and adherence to heuristic usability principles.
Main Results:
- The computerized OMES protocol met heuristic usability principles.
- Evaluators found the digital system usable and functional.
- Average data transposition time per protocol ranged from 3.1 to 3.83 minutes.
Conclusions:
- The computerized OMES protocol is confirmed as valid.
- The digital system demonstrates satisfactory usability and functionality for clinical use.
- This tool offers a potentially more efficient method for recording and analyzing orofacial myofunctional data.
