Abstract
- Eye-tracking is deemed a promising methodology for usability evaluation studies in healthcare, however clear theoretical guidance and practice remains lacking. A rapid review was performed on current use of eye tracking as a usability evaluation method on digital health technologies in the period of 2019 to 2024. Usability evaluation studies were included when they described a digital health technology intervention in which eye-tracking technologies were applied. To gain insight into how eye-tracking technologies contributed to measuring digital health technologies' usability, data was extracted on the use of eye-tracking for usability and key study findings. Seventeen papers were included in the review. Findings show that eye-tracking is frequently combined with other usability evaluation methods, with high methodological diversity, to test the usability of DHT. Future research is needed to enhance understanding of the effectiveness of eye-tracking outcomes in DHT usability testing when combined with other usability evaluation methods in order to provide (usability) researchers theoretical guidance on its application.
