Usability Testing: Why can’t we get it right?

Usability testing (a.k.a. human factors or ergonomics) has become the rule rather than the exception for most regulated medical devices.

In fact, FDA has published at least six guidance documents involving usability or human factors for medical devices and combination products since 2016. Regrettably, for many in this industry usability testing has become nothing more than a tick-box on a form!

Yet, in spite of these usability requirements (or perhaps because of them), we continue to experience significant user related problems with many important medical devices – why? And these problems are often not discovered until after the device is FDA cleared or approved and on the market – why?

This webinar will not take the typical approach to usability testing. In his signature style, Dr. Michael Drues will use actual devices as case studies to take a critical look at the way we do usability testing today and ask the seemingly simple question: does what we do make sense?
