A Hybrid Physical-Digital Simulation Laboratory to Expedite Context-Aware Design and Usability Testing in Digital Health.

Fit within existing physical and digitalised workflows is a critical aspect of digital health software usability. Early, iterative exploration of contextual usability issues is complicated by barriers of access to healthcare settings. The Validitron SimLab is a new facility for digital health prototyping that augments immersive, realistic physical environments with a digital sandbox allowing new and existing software to be easily set up and tested in the physical space.
