Opis

Taking a user-centered approach to medical technology design is more critical today than ever before. Designing Usability into Medical Products covers the essential processes and specific techniques necessary to produce safe, effective, usable, and appealing medical systems and products. Composed of articles published by the authors over the past five years, the book also includes new chapters that fill in the gaps among these articles, an expanded set of illustrations that amplify the content and enhance the book's readability, and several product development case studies that illustrate how a user-centered design approach led to design excellence and marketplace success.
