Requirements
Reduce Risk!
Human Factors requirements are very important. We help you define (and create) specific requirements and process documentation (e.g. design history file DHF - required for regulatory purposes).
HUMANS & TECHNOLOGY
Healthy Aging
Can Technology enhance my lifestyle?
Every individual has their own personal lifestyle, and it isn’t closely related to biological age or aging processes. Technologies that integrate Human Factors aspects, could help Humans to retain, or even enhance, their abilities and experiences in all the stages (or temporary conditions) of their life.
IoT - Internet of Things
Am I doing IoT well?
Objects are things very close to us, that belong to us, to which we link memories and experiences. The use of new materials and electronics allows intelligent objects to perform functions for us independently, or to enhance our capabilities. But things also have functional aspects, they must be handled, touched, transported, observed, etc.
Industry 4.0
“Hey! Look What I Can Do!” effect
Are you adopting just “technology for technology’s sake”? Is your Human Machine Interface (HMI) user-friendly? Are Humans or Human Factors in the list of your project 4.0 specifications? Smart solutions must exploit the potential of technologies, but at the same time consider the real needs of Humans.
Medical Devices
Is my product safe and effective?
Are you applying Human Factors & Usability Engineering processes (ANSI/AAMI/IEC or FDA standards) to optimise the design of your device user interface? Did you correctly consider the use-related risks of your product? Did you test your prototypes with users? Did you design the medical device according to ergonomic requirements?
