Error protection Risk gauge (Figure 2G) Using the visual above and thinking about when the highest risk of a seizure is occurring, please select the most appropriate answer.

I’m currently at the highest risk level of today

 

My risk level may increase throughout the day

 

My risk level is the lowest it will be today

1 = correct

(b) Patient functional suitability—reducing unpredictability Functional appropriateness (for reducing unpredictability) When thinking about the risk level of a seizure happening, does it seem like this visual would help relieve anxiety and provide a better way to prepare for seizures?

Seems helpful but does not apply to me

 

Seems very helpful

 

I do not understand this visual

 

Other (please specify)

0 = I do not understand this visual or other

 

1 = Seems very helpful, or seems helpful but does not apply to me

Operability The visualization was easily understood.
Learnability I found understanding this visualization to have a steep learning curve.
(e) Clinician functional suitability Functional appropriateness (for interpreting seizure diary patterns) This visualization will help interpret seizure diary patterns.
Functional appropriateness (for evaluating need for medication changes) This visualization will help assess patients to identify needed therapy changes.
Functional appropriateness (for guiding counseling on safety) This visualization will help counsel patients on seizure safety until next clinic visit.
  (f) Clinician performance efficiency Time behavior (ease of integration into clinical workflow) This visualization would integrate well into my clinical workflow in patient management.
