We developed a multipurpose scalable electronic informed consent platform (E-Consent) which is reusable for any informed consent in a multitude of settings. The platform allows research staff to easily upload multimedia information about a research protocol with an approved informed consent into the system, which delivers this content interactively for prospective study candidates in a user-friendly way. Consistent with user-centered design, E-Consent underwent usability inspection via cognitive walkthroughs accompanied by surveys that captured task complexity on a 5-point Likert-type scale. The System Usability Scale (SUS) provided a standardized reference for usability and satisfaction. Overall, the E-Consent framework was considered by participants to be easy-to-use, satisfying, and timely, while delivering complex information such as that on a consent form. E-Consent ranked in the top 10th percentile for usability as measured by SUS. This extensible framework successfully delivered complex information and recorded user consents, all in an easy-to-understand and highly usable fashion.
我们开发了一个多功能可扩展的电子知情同意平台（电子同意书），该平台可在多种环境中重复用于任何知情同意流程。该平台允许研究人员轻松地将有关已获批知情同意书的研究方案的多媒体信息上传至系统，该系统以用户友好的方式为潜在研究对象交互式地提供此内容。与以用户为中心的设计一致，电子同意书通过认知走查并伴随以5点李克特量表来衡量任务复杂性的调查进行了可用性检查。系统可用性量表（SUS）为可用性和满意度提供了标准化参考。总体而言，参与者认为电子同意书框架易于使用、令人满意且及时，同时能够传递诸如同意书上的复杂信息。以SUS衡量，电子同意书在可用性方面排名前10%。这个可扩展框架成功地以易于理解且高度可用的方式传递了复杂信息并记录了用户的同意。
