Designing for Knowledge Generalization in Medical Device Instructions Among Health Care Professionals: Qualitative Interview and Observation Study
Developers must be aware of what is considered "common" and potentially ignored knowledge within a specific domain in order to clearly emphasize important, safety-relevant information. We also recommend developers focus on using images with attached appendices where possible. This allows advanced users to process information more efficiently without compromising the needs of less familiar users for greater instructional details.
