Construct validity was also favorable as experienced endoscopists completed both modules faster than novices or beginners (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In line, criterion validity was given as performance correlated with self-assessed experience. The SUS yielded 75 out of 100 points (corresponding to good usability) with no discernible difference between novices, beginners, and experienced endoscopists. The NASA-TLX, ranging from 0 to 600 points, reflecting level of exhaustion, exhibited a higher score in novices and beginners than experienced endoscopists (285 vs. 210 vs. 225 points, respectively,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
