Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
The objective of this report is to explain the design guidelines followed in creating the user interface prototype for the Triage App, a mobile application for nurses and paramedics to triage patients. The report focuses on the application of user interface design principles to ensure effectiveness and usability.
- User interface design guidelines for mobile applications.
- Application of Norman's (2013) and Nielsen's (1995) design principles.
- Discoverability and visibility in UI design.
- Implementation of feedback mechanisms (error messages, loading indicators).
- Aesthetic and minimalist design principles.
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Design Guidelines: This chapter details the design guidelines used in creating the Triage App prototype. It emphasizes discoverability principles (Norman, 2013), iOS navigation, menus, and mobile form design. The chapter lays the groundwork for understanding the design choices made throughout the app's interface.
Sign-in and Sign-up Page: This chapter focuses on the design of the initial sign-in and sign-up screens. It explains how design principles, such as clarity, simplicity (Norman, 2013), and the use of hint text, were applied to ensure easy user access and navigation. The inclusion of features like password recovery and 'keep me signed in' options, aligning with Neil (2014) and Wroblewski (2015) suggestions, are also discussed to reduce cognitive load for users. The chapter also illustrates how clear error messages and error correction mechanisms contribute to a better user experience.
