We help make medical products safer.

By integrating human factors principles, we help ensure product safety and optimize user satisfaction.

We provide research-driven insights from concept to compliance.


 

Generative user research

Whether we are informing user interface design for current or next generation products, we utilize a variety of methods like contextual inquiry and task analysis to define user needs and constraints, identify use-related risks, and create use specifications. Those inputs are then translated into user interface design goals and requirements.

Evaluative user research

As design concepts start to take shape, we employ methods such as usability testing (including formative and summative studies), expert reviews, and heuristic evaluations to assess and iterate on the user interface design.

Regulatory strategy & compliance

We work with our partners to strategically navigate, implement, and comply with human factors standards and guidance (FDA, IEC, MHRA, AAMI, etc.) to meet their specific product needs.

Instructional material development

Understanding the whole device user interface is important so we work with our partners to approach the design of instructions for use (IFU) with same consideration as the device itself, ensuring they are designed for their intended users and environment.

Physiological research

We identify and analyze what users say as well as what they do. By using a variety of methods such as eye-tracking, heart rate variability, EEG, and galvanic skin response, we are able to understand user-device interactions through detection of automatic bodily responses.

We are with you from start to finish.

Our expertise spans the entire product lifecycle. Our meticulous post-market evaluations lead to ongoing improvements to your products by integrating real-world user feedback and usage data.

We drive success.

Our specialized focus in healthcare human factors research enables your products to stand out in the competitive global medical device industry.

Our rigorous approach identifies and mitigates use-related risks and enhances usability, leading to medical products that meet the needs of real-world users.

We apply human factors research to any product in healthcare.
