Human factors in the context of medical devices, particularly digital ones, is the discipline of applying psychological and ergonomic principles to the design and development of devices to optimise human-device interaction. It’s about ensuring that medical devices are safe, effective, and usable by the people who will interact with them.
In essence, human factors engineering for digital medical devices is about putting the user at the centre of the design process. By understanding the needs, capabilities, and limitations of healthcare professionals and patients, we can create devices that improve patient care and outcomes.
