Applied Human Factors in Medical Device Design describes the contents of a human factors toolbox with in-depth descriptions of both empirical and analytical methodologies. The book begins with an overview of the design control process, integrating human factors as directed by AAMI TIR 59 and experienced practice. It then explains each method, describing why each method is important, its potential impact, when it's ideal to use, and related challenges. Also discussed are other barriers, such as communication breakdowns between users and design teams. This book is an excellent reference for professionals working in human factors, design, engineering, marketing and regulation.
Focuses on meeting agency requirements as it pertains to the application of human factors in the medical device development process in both the US and the European Union (EU)
Explains technology development and the application of human factors throughout the development process
Covers FDA and MHRA regulations
Includes case examples with each method
Medical device industry professionals in human factors, design, engineering, marketing and regulatory agencies. Students in human factors, experimental psychology, industrial design, design research, ergonomics, and biomedical engineering. Consultants and specialists of health technology assessment.
