Developed to promote the design of safe, effective, and usable
medical devices, Handbook of Human Factors in Medical Device Design
provides a single convenient source of authoritative information to
support evidence-based design and evaluation of medical device user
interfaces using rigorous human factors engineering principles. It
offers guidance on user-centric design supported by discussions of
design issues, case studies, and examples. The book sets the
foundation with coverage of fundamental topics such as aligning the
interactive nature of medical devices to the expected use
environments ranging from hospitals and ambulances to patients'
homes, drawing on anthropometric and biomechanical data to ensure
that designs match the intended users' bodies and physical
abilities, and conducting usability tests and other evaluations to
ensure that devices perform as intended. It then focuses on applied
design issues, offering guidance on the design of specific types of
devices and designing devices for particular use environments.
Adapted in part from established design standards and conventions,
the design guidance presented in this work distills professional
judgment extracted from the contributing authors' years of
experience in applied analysis and design. Written in true handbook
style, each chapter stands alone and includes tables,
illustrations, and cross references, allowing you to quickly find
the exact information you need. Most chapters begin with a general
introduction to the selected topic, followed by the presentation of
general and special design considerations and then specific,
numbered design guidelines. The book also presents a listing of
resources, literature, and website references. It not only focuses
on the human factors issues that arise when developing medical
devices, it supplies the necessary guidance to resolve them.
