Software is often designed based on the designer's mental model rather than the user's. To correct this, we created personas (archetypes) of nurses using observations and semi-structured interviews. We developed and evaluated patient monitoring display prototypes for each persona. Among 11 ICU nurses, we found that the majority of nurses preferred a parsimonious data representation with large numbers and waveforms allowing all relevant data to be visible. Using personas and paper prototypes is an inexpensive and effective way to assess nurses' requirements and design preferences.
软件的设计通常基于设计者的心智模型而非用户的心智模型。为了纠正这一点，我们通过观察和半结构化访谈创建了护士的人物角色（原型）。我们为每个人物角色开发并评估了患者监测显示原型。在11名重症监护室护士中，我们发现大多数护士更喜欢简洁的数据呈现方式，即带有大量数字和波形，以便所有相关数据都能可见。使用人物角色和纸质原型是评估护士需求和设计偏好的一种经济有效的方法。
