Roots Analysis has announced the addition of “Human Factors Engineering for Medical Devices, 2020-2030” report to its list of offerings.

Given the growing regulatory stringency, there are a number of medical devices recalls reported each year. Moreover, as such solutions are gradually becoming increasingly complex, it is imperative to identify potential risks / hazards, in order to guarantee safety to end users post product launch. This has led many device developers to resort to human factors engineering and usability testing. However, the aforementioned processes require specialized resources and expertise. Therefore, outsourcing this aspect of product design and development, has become common among industry stakeholders.
