Outcome results
Percent of Responses From Persons Who Performed Each Software Operations Task and Rated Each Statement as Strongly Agree, Agree, or Neither Agree Nor Disagree.
For software operations tasks, subjects rated statements about software operations tasks as 1Strongly Agree, 2Agree, 3Neither Agree nor Disagree, 4Disagree, 5Strongly Disagree, or 6No opinion. Software operations tasks included: * Obtain a synced blood glucose reading * Initiation and use of insulin bolus calculator * Access and interpret glucose displays such as expanded graph (modal day) and sequential views.
Time frame: 3 weeks
Population: While 43 subjects completed the questionnaire, responses with 'No opinion' were not counted in the total used to calculate percent of responses for each statement.
