Usability Engineering of medical devices

  • Medical device usability and ergonomics
  • Usability engineering process
  • Legal and normative aspects
  • Design of human-machine interfaces
  • Specification of typical user, use context, environmental factors, primary operating and risk sensitive functions, etc.
  • Specification of the usability, using the criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, learnability and user satisfaction
  • Methods for the design, verification and validation
  • Formative and summative user tests
  • Formal-analytical, criteria-based and interaction-centered usability evaluation in our usability lab
  • Test design, realization and statistical evaluation
  • mAIXuse – Model-based usability evaluation of the human-machine interface
