This usability test of a website for relatives of ICU patients conducted among 20 test subjects showed the biggest challenges related to solving individual test scenarios and provided valuable hints for improving website usability. Features of the website highlighted as positive were the clear layout, the symbols, the diary and the consideration of children. This information was used to improve the site for subsequent roll-out in a randomized, controlled and multicentre study.
