Designing and Optimizing Digital Applications for Medical Emergencies.

In this ongoing study, we aim to redesign an existing dynamic digital checklist application (app) for trauma resuscitations in a regional trauma center. The design followed an iterative, user-centered approach. Trauma team physician leaders and research coordinators at the center participated in a survey and usability study to provide feedback for improving the user interface. Proper optimization of the user experience is necessary for future adoption of the digital checklist. This study lays the groundwork for in situ use and evaluation of the checklist by trauma team members.
