Ian Culverhouse of Rebus Medical and Melissa Lemke of Agilis Consulting Group join Justin Starbird and Dr. Mary Beth Privitera, Principal of HFE/Research for HS Design and the Co-Chair of AAMI Human Engineering Committee to talk about their contributions to the new book Applied Human Factors in Medical Device Design.
Ian discussed how "...contextual inquiry is a really, really powerful technique that looks beyond looking just at the device at a task level, but it looks to better understand the world in which that device or the system would used in."
Melissa talked at length that "...task analysis, is one of the most important and beneficial human factors tools that we have to work with. It's a systematic hierarchical breakdown of user performance, or device used steps. Importantly, we take a step back from thinking about the device user interface and we look at it from the user perspective. We start documenting what are the user interactions that are required to reach some outcome, perform some function or use the features of the product or device.
