Abstract
In 2003 Boston Scientific was planning the release of a touch screen-based in-home monitor for patients with Boston Scientific Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD). The demographic of these patients is heavily weighted towards older populations. The research, recommendations, and guidelines at that time were largely based on young healthy users. Hence, a need existed to determine acceptable button size and spacing for aged populations.
