• Description:
  This chapter describes the "Mobile Usability Lab (MU-Lab), a structured tool for performing systematic analysis of the accessibility of a targeted medical product or class of products. MU-Lab helps guide a research team through the assessment process. The system consists of Web-based Protocol Manager (PM) software, plus hardware that can be transported within a customized suitcase. The process starts with preliminary steps such as an initial heuristic analysis guided by universal design principles; plus the important step of determining an appropriate population of users with disabilities and documenting their abilities. This is followed by video-based usability data collection sessions that also include a structured post-activity analysis questionnaire. Data analysis includes a special focus on task analysis of events related to accessibility barriers. [Description provided by NIOSH]
