This week, Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare (PSQH) released their latest podcast episode, Ensuring patient safety during the medical device research process, featuring Bold Insight Managing Partner, Korey Johnson. In the conversation, Johnson talks about the importance of UX research during the medical device development process, sharing how testing early can mitigate use-related risk and detailing common blind spots that manufacturers should consider when navigating FDA approval.

“Manufacturers who tend to have the most success with their validation studies are those who have embraced a user-centered design process from the start,” said Johnson. “Gathering input from end users early and often to actively design for use-related challenges throughout the development of a product, leads to a smoother submission process and improved patient outcomes.”

Previously this year, Johnson contributed articles on improving healthcare experiences to online publications MedTech Intelligence, HIT Consultant, and Healthcare Business Today.
