Closing the human factors gap for product development
Product development and R&D professionals require clear, cost-effective paths forward when developing medical products. They need a discovery process that supports designing innovative, user-centered and software-intensive devices. Companies need to apply human factors engineering (HFE) in their product development processes to enhance usability and reduce the risk of use errors. However, they lack the HFE expertise required for innovative and compliant product development.
