Design, User Experience and Usability Requirements for NGS Workflows in Clinical Applications

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed genomic research by decreasing the cost of sequencing and increasing the throughput. Today, translation of NGS technology to (cancer) diagnostics and therapeutics is widely anticipated. In this paper we give an overview of design, user experience and usability (DUXU) requirements for NGS applications with a special focus on clinical and diagnostic settings.
