Cognitive Human Factors for Medical Devices, Combination Products and Diagnostics
Recorded on October 27, 2021 |
Russell J. Branaghan, PhD, President, Research Collective
Designing useful, usable, desirable, and safe products requires a fundamental scientific understanding of how people process information.
• How do we attract and guide the user’s attention to focus on the most important information?
• How do we place information where users expect to find it?
• How do we design products that are both easy to learn and efficient to use over time?
• How do we chunk information in a way that it reduces cognitive load?
• How do we help people make the right decisions?
• How do we reduce error and improve safety?
This webinar introduces and reviews scientific knowledge about sensation and perception, attention, working memory, judgment and decision making, and how to apply this immediately to the design of better hardware and software products, as well as packaging, labeling and instructions for use.
