Abstract

The choice of the brain area to be stimulated by non-invasive brain stimulations (NIBS) often poses a challenge to physiotherapists. To address this issue, a mockup design of a Decision Support System (DSS) application called SMDQ App was created following the Design Thinking (DT) methodology. As a part of this method, SMDQ App 1.0 was tested, and based on this testing a second version was elaborated (SMDQ App 2.0). Again, tests were made to the second prototype version, and feedback was collected. The application of two rounds of tests is common when using DT and enables a better understanding of users’ needs, thus improving the acceptance of the tool. SMDQ App 1.0 had Ok usability according to the System Usability Scale. With the improvements, SMDQ App 2.0 was classified with Good usability.
