Case Study: Siemens Healthineers improves ultrasound usability with Macadamian

Siemens Healthineers improves ultrasound usability with Macadamian, boosting task completion and reducing errors

Siemens Healthineers sought to design a new ultrasound machine focused on sonographer ease of use. They engaged Macadamian to conduct an objective, third-party usability assessment to determine if their new product successfully bridged the usability gap in hard-to-use equipment that can compromise scan quality.

Macadamian screened and recruited sonographers to operate the new system in a simulated clinical environment, collecting usability data in accordance with industry standards. The final report validated the product, showing it improved user satisfaction, reduced errors, and resulted in high task completion rates. This clear evidence of enhanced usability empowered the Siemens sales team, and Macadamian's work also identified potential improvements for future equipment generations.
