We are confident that the moderator training will help establish best practices for usability study moderators and help record accurate data by reducing bias:
In my experience, user bias is the greatest threat to data validity in human factors/usability testing. The goal of this moderator training is to empower medical device developers to conduct usability testing without introducing user bias. We are excited to share UserWise secrets with the industry to ensure we all comply with FDA expectations for moderating usability testing.
This training is part of the onboarding process for UserWise's Human Factor Engineers. As a result of this training, UserWise has received positive feedback from their Human Factors Engineers.
UserWise Human Factors Engineer, Isha Dusseau, reflected on her training while designing a study:
The UserWise Moderator Training was an excellent resource to prepare me for moderating usability studies. The video examples of ways we might inadvertently introduce bias into a study as well as examples of how to avoid it were especially helpful for understanding the information and making it instantly applicable to the study I was designing.
