Human Factors and Usability Evaluations
At Medvis, we know the earlier you can test your ideas, the better. Employing testing early in the development process reduces the need for large design modifications and costly updates after market introduction. With over 15 years experience in conducting medical technology evaluations, we can help you test your device.
Our evaluation techniques include qualitative (e.g., structured interviews, focus groups) and quantitative (e.g., eye-tracking studies, formal usability studies in laboratory, simulated, and real-life environments) and can be used at any point in your product's life cycle from pre-design to post-release.
Our team of experts includes biomedical engineers, clinical recruiters, human factors engineers, medical clinicians, and designers. We have experts regulatory compliance and our evaluations are specifically designed to support regulatory requirements for human factors assessment.
We have conducted usability tests for patient monitors, critical care ventilators, infusion pumps, disposable injection systems, patient information systems, medical device user interfaces, medical education software, decision support software, and wearable technology. (See examples of projects above)
