When preparing your medical device for the market, human factors engineering (HFE) can prove complex and challenging. Expectations among regulatory bodies are growing just as HFE methods become more and more complex. By building human factors into your medical device design you can meet the requirements involved with marketing a medical device. 

HFE best practices help guide major HFE stages of a development effort, including:

  • Use-related risk analysis
  • User research
  • Summative and formative usability testing
  • Designing user interface (UI) medical device platforms
  • Overall product validation testing

Medical device companies often struggle with where to start with their HFE activities during medical device development. During the presentation, we will share our top-10 HFE tips to break down the complexity of human factors engineering and help you accelerate your time to regulatory approval and market access.
