Abstract
TechThesys is a web-deployable data-collection application intended for outpatient clinics. It was programmed in Flash and integrates visual crispness, video, voice-prompts, and clear user-flow towards high-usability across all user levels of computer-savvy. Informal usability feedback shows that the first version of TechThesys is a success among users new to computer technology and that the application is at least acceptable to more versed computer users. Some glitches and design flaws exist to be corrected in the next version of TechThesys. Users at all experience levels found themselves contributing personal information with TechThesys, motivated by the strong sense of security that it instilled.
