User studies are an essential part of the development process for any interactive system. By conducting user studies, researchers and designers can gain valuable insights into how users interact with a system and what their needs and preferences are. This information can then be used to improve the system's design and make it more user-friendly.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to designing user studies in informatics and health informatics. The book covers all aspects of user study design, from planning and recruitment to data analysis and reporting. It also includes chapters on ethical considerations in user studies and user experience design.
