Usability of Healthcare and Medical Devices
Making Healthcare Devices and Applications Easier to Use and More Effective
A healthcare of medical device must function reliably in various environments
and serve users with a range of challenges - from lack of product
knowledge to limited mobility or vision. To successfully navigate
regulatory processes and attain high user adoption, a medical device must
be designed around the user experience and incorporate defenses against potential
risks of use under varied conditions.
With experience in the design of devices like blood glucose meters and complex systems such as remote patient visit solutions, nurse call systems and ultrasound devices, our user experience experts understand what is needed to ensure the success of medical products in the hands of users. For healthcare industry clients, we focus on ensuring devices can be used with minimum risk of error through use-related risk assessment and delivery of a range of design solutions for any potential risk.
Healthcare clients also benefit from our wide range of experience in bringing user requirements into consumer device design, as well as user interfaces for software operating in regulated environments. Our DAViD methodology has helped medical device designers and manufacturers to
- Attain faster time to market by ensuring from the start that products are designed for maximum user adoption.
- Meet and exceed the requirements of regulatory bodies like the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada.
- Incorporate user requirements within the limitations of technology and while respecting industry-specific constraints, such as durability and ease of sanitization.
