Making Medical Device Interfaces More User-Friendly
Medical Devicelink: "A lot of medical device displays look overstuffed with information and controls so that very little empty space remains. Such space is important in a user interface, because it helps to separate information into related groups and provides a resting place for the user's eye. Overly dense-looking user interfaces can be initially intimidating to nurses, technicians, and physicians, making it difficult for them to pick out specific information at a glance." (2001-07-22)
