Group Sketch 3 Storyboard
Derek is a football player who just received an intense contusion to the lower tendrils of the quad muscle. Upon seeing this, Trainer Scot decides that a high repetition, low weight exercise program will be good to help work out the soreness and maintain a high level of blood flow to the afflicted area. Scot doesn't have time to write up the workout because he has to run to a meeting. In the meeting he pulls up easyTrainer and logs into his dashboard. He is greeted with Image 1. He sees his matrix of patients and quickly selects Derek Vaughn. An intermediate step is taken to then create Derek a workout (not shown in images below). The page for creating a workout is shown in Image 2. Scot uses the suggested exercises drop down for some solid exercises to assign Derek. Finally, he checks over the list and submits it.
Later on, Scot is still stuck up in the meeting, but Derek is ready to get his rehab on! The assistant trainer, Jill, receives the new therapy program for Derek on her mobile phone and tells him that he can begin his program. Throughout the course of the exercises the assistant trainer uses the layout in Image 3 to assist in making sure the patient is doing the right exercise while keeping in mind certain notes specified by the doctor.
Group Sketch 3 Analysis
Learnability
Good points of learnability are that this system is already largely in place, albeit on paper. Also, the interface is mostly linear, so not knowing what to do should rarely be a problem. A bad point could be learning, in the head, what suggested workout queries will return, eliminating the need.
Efficiency
This design does well in efficiency. There are not any unnecessary buttons that can lead the user away from their purpose. Some lacks of efficiency could be checking a box for each day for each exercise, and with the assistant trainer page, having to load each exercises images could be very slow and a major inefficiency.
Safety
The fact that the exercise regiments can be altered raises an issue of safety. Unintentional updates to workouts could potentially harm the patient, or prevent recovery. A good point of safety would be from the main page. If the trainer clicks on a person, they are only highlighted instead of going to their page. You must then click the manage button on that patient's card to enter their page. This prevents accidental clicks to patients (clicking directly between two patients). There are ways to mitigate this such as adding descriptors of the patient on the subsequent pages.
