bThe Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a known questionnaire used to assess satisfaction with a product, which includes a key question: “How likely is it that you would recommend our system to a family member or friend?” Patients can give an answer ranging from 0 (“not at all likely”) to 10 (“extremely likely”). Individuals scoring 9 or 10 are called “promoters,” individuals scoring 7 or 8 are called “passives” (or neutrals), and individuals scoring 0 to 6 are called “detractors.” The NPS is computed as percent promoters − percent detractors, and ranges from −100% to 100%.
cThe System Usability Scale (SUS) was developed by John Brooke in 1986 and consists of a 10-item questionnaire scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The overall score is calculated from the sum of all item scores multiplied by 2.5 and can range from 0 to 100. A system or product that receives a score of 68 or above is considered to have good usability.
