mapping and analysis of open source software oss Usability for sustainable oss product
IEEE Access, 2019Co-Authors: Kareem Abbas Dawood, Khaironi Yatim Sharif, A A Zaidan, Abdul Azim Abd Ghani, Hazura Zulzalil, B B ZaidanAbstract:The increase in the number of open source software (OSS) users have drawn attention to improving Usability. Usability is a clear concept that encompassing both task and user characteristics as well as functionality. Usability is an essential factor that affects user acceptance and OSS sustainability, which is considered as the key to the success of the OSS. To some extent, Usability is one concern of the larger issue of system acceptability and sustainability. Therefore, Usability is an important factor that needs to be considered since the software that is not usable is not going to be sustainable. The objective of this paper is to review Researchers’ efforts to improve, investigate, and evaluate the Usability factor that may affect the OSS acceptability and sustainability and map the Research scenery from the articles into a comprehensible structured taxonomy, which would help the Researchers to identify different Research gaps of this field. A survey of the Usability in OSS conducted and 6033 studies identified by a search in four scholarly databases using a query that includes the keywords (Usability or learnability or efficiency or satisfaction) and (open source software or OSS). A total of 46 studies are selected. By manually searching in ACM, Springer, and Google Scholar five other studies identified, and thus a total of 51 studies were the final set that includes in this paper. Based on Research topics, a taxonomy created and divided into four principal categories which improve OSS Usability, analyze OSS Usability, evaluate OSS Usability, and select and adopt OSS. A comprehensive overview and synthesis of these categories are presented as well. This paper contributes to identifying the possible opportunities and gaps for enabling the participation of interested Researchers in this Research area. And give possibilities for extending the use of Usability Research and practices to create more sustainable software. Also, helps in selecting suitable OSS among the alternatives.

Usability Challenges with Insulin Pump Devices in Diabetes Care: What Trainers Observe with First-time Pump Users
AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), 2019Co-Authors: Hernandez Helen, Dringus Laurie, Snyder Martha, Wang LingAbstract:Insulin pumps are designed for the self-management of diabetes mellitus in patients and are known for their complexity of use. Pump manufacturers engage trainers to help patients use the devices correctly to control the symptoms of their disease. Usability Research related to insulin pumps and other infusion pumps has centered on the relationship between user interface design and the effectiveness of task completion by a single evaluator perspective, namely first-time users. From a different perspective, there is a lack of insight into the experiences of insulin pump trainers during learning sessions with first-time users. The focus of the study is to present the lived experiences and shared impressions of the insulin pump trainers. Their narratives will be used to conduct an interpretive examination of the phenomena uncovered and to provide the essence of their lived experiences

Usability Challenges with Insulin Pump Devices in Diabetes Care: What Trainers Observe with First-Time Pump Users
NSUWorks, 2019Co-Authors: Hernandez, Helen BirkmannAbstract:Insulin pumps are designed for the self-management of diabetes mellitus in patients and are known for their complexity of use. Pump manufacturers engage trainers to teach patients how to use the devices correctly to control the symptoms of their disease. Usability Research related to insulin pumps and other infusion pumps with first-time users as participants has centered on the relationship between user interface design and the effectiveness of task completion. According to prior Research, the characteristics of system behavior in a real life environment remain elusive. A suitable approach to acquire information about potential Usability problems encountered by first-time users is to obtain this information from the health care professionals who train them. The purpose of the study was to discover the lived experiences and shared impressions of insulin pump trainers during training sessions with first-time users. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to uncover the phenomena associated with Usability challenges that first-time users of insulin pumps face when learning to use the device. Six participants representing a homogeneous sample were recruited from a wide geographic area in the United States, and semi-structured interviews containing open-ended questions were conducted with the respondents. The data from the lived experiences and shared impressions of the participants were used to develop the following five super-ordinate themes: Emotion-charged Environment, Personalized Training, Safety Issues and Disaster Planning, Professional Dedication, and The Voice. The essence of participants’ experience was described around the pivotal moment when the training sessions are successfully completed and insulin pump therapy becomes alive. The findings of this study have implications for information systems professionals who conduct Research on the safe design and Usability of safety critical medical devices. In addition, the findings from this study create opportunities for practice to improve the initiation of insulin pump therapy in patients with diabetes

The Voices of Insulin Pump Trainers: Usability Challenges Observed During the Training of First-Time Pump Users

Five super-ordinate themes were defined: Emotion-charged Environment, Personalized Training, Safety Issues and Disaster Planning, Professional Dedication, and The Voice. The overarching Research question states as follows: What is the essence of the experiences of insulin pump trainers while they teach first-time users how to use the device? The findings of this study will be presented as the very nature of the insulin pump trainers’ experiences and described around the pivotal moment when the training is successfully completed and insulin pump therapy becomes alive
