UserWise to lead a post-conference workshop at Pre-Filled Syringes West Coast 2019
The 4th Annual Pre-Filled Syringes West Coast Conference taking place in June 3rd-4th 2019 in San Diego, USA, will gather a global audience of medical device experts and PFS industry leaders to discuss new developments and showcase the latest advancements.
Uncovering design flaws late in the development cycle can be costly and catastrophic to meeting a medical product’s commercialization deadline.
With this important issue in mind, SMi Group are delighted to host a half-day post-conference workshop led by Shannon E. Clark, Principal, Founder and CEO at UserWise who will be exploring ‘The Secrets to Uncovering and Addressing Design Flaws BEFORE Usability Testing’.
Overview of the workshop
Workshop attendees will learn the principles of design that are key for developing medical products or selecting drug delivery devices for new drugs. They will also learn the best practices for how to conduct an expert review to uncover design flaws even before entering into usability testing.
A review will be presented on numerous examples of Good vs. Bad Design. Attendees will be trained on how to best select the drug delivery platform for a specific product; use principles of informal use error analysis; IEC 62366 PCA task analysis; and use-related risk analysis to uncover use errors that could negatively impact usability testing results and ultimate product success.
