MDD16 - Integrating Human Factors While Maintaining Your Sanity
DescriptionIn an era where emerging technology and innovation spark new development of a myriad of products and systems, the success of these ventures often hinges on one vital component: the Human Systems Integration (HSI). The interaction between a user and a product or system can determine its efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and overall value. However, many companies overlook the pivotal role of HSI in shaping the successes or failures of their endeavors. Human Factors (HF), a discipline that seeks to understand and optimize the relationship between people and the systems they use, is a cornerstone to the success of many industry giants. This paper strives to empower HF engineers and HSI practitioners with methods and mindsets to guide their organizations in integrating HF into their systems’ development lifecycles. From leveraging regulations and standards, educating teams on the foundational principles of HF, to growing a culture of collaboration and persistence, this paper delves into effective strategies that ensure optimal user experience without overwhelming the practitioner.
This presentation strives to empower Human Factors Engineers and HSI practitioners in the medical industry with methods, approaches and mindsets to successfully navigate their organizations in integrating human centered design principles into their systems’ development lifecycles. The probability of success in these endeavors can be increased by using terminology that resonates with stakeholders, leveraging regulations and standards, educating teams on the foundational principles of HF, and cultivating a culture of collaboration. This presentation delves into effective strategies and tactics that ensure optimal user experience without overwhelming the practitioner. Important messages and key takeaways are:
Foster collaboration and interdisciplinary teams
Leverage regulations, standards & guidelines
Prepare answers
Work within current structure
Prioritize projects
Share user testing
Engage external experts
Cultivate allies
Patience & persistence
