Medical devices
We believe that institutionalizing best practices in user-centered design and human factors engineering leads to better health outcomes for all.
Applying human factors best practices to product development is much more than a validation study. Yes, we have the expertise to plan, manage, and execute your human factors validation study… but creating safer and more efficient, effective, and engaging experiences for your customers starts much earlier than that and so do we.
Medical Device Product Development
The foundation for safe and effective use begins with exploratory research and spans the entire development process.
