Video Visits And Usability

My healthcare provider offers video visits. I have had quite a few video visits since the COVID-19 pandemic started. The video visits went quite well.

I found a research paper that investigated how patients viewed their primary care video visits:

Patient Perceptions of Telehealth Primary Care Video Visits

To my surprise, the investigation found that the patients felt more comfortable with video visits than office visits and even prefer to receive serious news via a video visit because they would be in their "own supportive environment."
It is good to hear the views of the user/customer.
 
The study is very similar to a usability study (maybe it is a type of usability study). Usability studies are about the users' attitudes/perceptions about the application or solution. Some studies focus on the user to ensure the user has input into the best solution.

Here is an interesting paper on usability testing:
