Organiser: Terkko Health Hub with Aalto University, Health Design, Kuopio Health, OuluHealth and Upgraded
Participation: FREE
Language: ENG
Human factors engineering process has been intended to minimize risks associated with potential use-errors by ensuring that a device is developed for safety and effectiveness. Although regulatory requirements and guidance have been enhanced to minimize design-induced errors, they are too general to provide any real assistance on risk management, verification design, models or practices. Despite the progress, developers often overlook human factors or consider them at the last moment when regulatory approval is already in process.
For whom: Anyone dealing with regulatory requirements in their field of occupation.
