Our Medical Usability Lab and our equipment
With our Medical Usability Lab equipment and laboratories, your usability and UX studies can be easily conducted.
And the best thing is: Thanks to state-of-the-art camera and audio equipment, you are always right in the middle of the action and get to hear everything your users are doing live.
We offer the possibility to stream studies live or to be present on site.
Thanks to patient simulators and other state-of-the-art equipment, almost all use cases for your medical device or IVD can be simulated. In our freely customizable medical usability labs, you can also perfectly reproduce your operating room setting.
Our equipment in detail
Our Medical Usability Lab
The Medical Usability Lab is perfect for your formative and summative studies. It allows you to conduct simulated use studies for a variety of settings from the medical field.
Suitable camera equipment lets you observe and record all use errors live. If required, even eye tracking is possible. A clear sound lets you hear all details during the tests.
COOMING SOON
Medical Human Factors Suite in Darmstadt
A mini hospital. Realistic clinical workflows. New possibilities for your usability studies.
We’re expanding our usability labs in Darmstadt! Our new Medical Human Factors Suite will provide an integrated testing environment designed to realistically simulate clinical workflows across the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), and nursing areas – all within one facility.
What you can expect:
- Realistic clinical workflows: Our mini-hospital environment connects the OR, ICU, and nursing areas, allowing you to simulate complex use scenarios and clinical handovers under realistic conditions. Of course, each room can also be used independently, depending on your study requirements.
- Professional observation technology: High-quality video and audio equipment, combined with optional eye tracking, enables detailed analysis of user interactions and use errors. Dedicated observation rooms with one-way mirrors allow your team to observe studies live without disturbing participants.
- Maximum flexibility for your equipment: Wide double doors providing access to the OR and ICU make it easy to move large medical devices and hospital beds between rooms – ideal for testing complex device configurations and realistic clinical workflows.
- Secure storage for your prototypes: Dedicated, access-controlled storage areas provide a secure and discreet space for confidential customer equipment, prototypes, and study materials.
Our timeline:
Construction is well underway, and we expect our new Medical Human Factors Suite to be completed in early 2027. If you want to stay updated on our progress, sign up for our newsletter to receive the latest news.
Already planning a Usability Study? We’d be happy to discuss your project! Our team can help you determine which testing environments and facilities will be available for your planned study dates. In the meantime, our existing usability labs remain fully operational, allowing us to continue offering a wide range of simulated use environments throughout the construction phase.
Eye-Tracking
Our eye-tracking system makes it possible to precisely track glances and gaze durations even when moving freely around the room. This means you always know where the user’s focus is and can gain important insights into usage behavior when analyzing the data.
For example, you can find out which areas of your user interface are perceived particularly well and which are hardly perceived at all.
Observation rooms
It is important to us that you are satisfied with our work and the results of the user research. To ensure this, our observation rooms give you the opportunity to watch everything live and talk to our interviewers between tests. This way, we can also directly consider spontaneous change requests.
Our user database
Through our user database www.NUTZER-tests.de we reach thousands of users for your studies – lay people as well as health care professionals and patients.
If your users are not there, our in-house recruiters will solve the problem manually. This saves you a lot of time and energy in the user search!
