Two of the most important yet often overlooked aspects of a medical
device are its usability and accessibility. This is important not
only for health care providers, but also for older patients and
users with disabilities or activity limitations. Medical
Instrumentation: Accessibility and Usability Considerations focuses
on how lack of usability and accessibility pose problems for
designers and users of medical devices, and how to overcome these
limitations.
Divided into five broad sections, the book first addresses the
nature and extent of the problem by identifying access barriers,
human factors, and policy issues focused on the existing
infrastructure. The subsequent sections examine responses to the
problem, beginning with tools for usability and accessibility
analysis and principles of design for medical instrumentation.
Building on this foundation, the third section focuses on
recommendations for design guidelines while the fourth section
explores emerging trends and future technologies for improving
medical device usability. The final section outlines key
challenges, knowledge gaps, and recommendations from accomplished
experts in the field presented at the recent "Workshop on
Accessible Interfaces for Medical Instrumentation,"
Integrating expert perspectives from a wide array of
disciplines, Medical Instrumentation traces a clear roadmap for
improving accessibility and usability for a variety of stakeholders
and provides the tools necessary to follow it.
