The most important data and results

  • 96% of the experts had a positive overall impression of the system

  • 100% of subjects found the system easy to learn

  • 100% of the experts felt confident working with the system

  • 40% reduction in task performance time after only one usage

Das System erreicht einen SUS-Score von 81,1 aus 100 möglichen Punkten – dies entspricht einer sehr guten bis exzellenten Gebrauchstauglichkeit.

Conclusion

The overall results of the study confirm that the Caliop software and the Surgical Panel provide positive support for OR personnel by centralizing critical OR workflows on a single platform, resulting in considerable time savings. Although the Caliop software offers extensive functionality, all of the participating experts said the system was easy to use. This is critical for modern treatment environments, where different medical users and a large number of information and video sources are involved.
