MDD20 - Optimizing Design Specifications: Force Sensor Integration in Medical Device Human Factors Research
DescriptionThis presentation discusses the need for implementation of force data collection tools in formative human factors studies relating to handheld drug delivery devices. This research approach is especially applicable in the realm of syringes and autoinjectors and can be used to establish or enhance already existing design requirements. The presentation will be broken down into two parts with one focusing on how force data can be captured and the second section covering fore data analysis methods.
The fundamentals of collecting force data will be covered including both hardware and software required to implement this research method. Various force sensors and their respective applications will be discussed and compared when it comes to their suitedness for human factors research. Additionally, software used for data analysis will be explored covering the use of RStudio and various R packages for noise removal, statistical analysis, and data visualization.
The takeaway of this presentation is the potential for force data to improve and influence the way design specifications are defined among handheld drug delivery devices.
