糖尿病技术,如连续血糖监测器 (CGM) 和胰岛素,并不是为聋人和听力障碍者 (DHH) 设计的. 公司必须在设计和测试中纳入DHH观点,以改善所有人的可用性.
科学领域:
- 医疗器械 医疗器械
- 糖尿病 技术 技术
- 可访问性研究 研究可访问性
背景情况:
- 聋人和听力障碍者 (DHH) 患糖尿病的比率更高,并面临糖尿病技术的障碍.
- 目前的糖尿病技术依赖于感官输入 (视觉,听觉),这给DHH用户带来了挑战.
- 本研究评估了持续血糖监测系统 (CGM) 和胰岛素对DHH人口的可访问性.
研究的目的:
- 评估特定的持续血糖监测 (CGM) 系统和胰岛素对于聋人或听力障碍者 (DHH) 的可访问性.
- 识别设计缺陷并收集改善DHH用户糖尿病技术的建议.
主要方法:
- 一个为期2小时的焦点小组与生活在糖尿病的DHH个体.
- 实践评估了两个CGM和六个胰岛素设备.
- 参与者使用类似利克特尺度来评价听觉,触觉和视觉警报,并补充了定性反和主题分析的观察笔记.
主要成果:
- 在听觉,触觉和视觉模式中,DHH参与者一致认为所有评估的设备具有糟糕的警报功能.
- 对于CGM报警的中位数在1.2 (视觉) 到2.6 (触觉) 之间,对于胰岛素的中位数在0.5 (听觉) 到2 (触觉) 之间.
- 一个主要主题揭示了当前的糖尿病技术并没有考虑到DHH可访问性的设计,警报功能存在重大缺陷.
结论:
- 糖尿病技术公司必须在设计和测试阶段积极地让DHH人员参与,以提高设备的可访问性.
- 整合多样化的DHH视角与通用设计原则保持一致,可能会改善每个人的用户体验.
- 包容性设计和测试对于优化糖尿病管理技术对所有用户的有效性和可用性至关重要.
