I'm excited to serve as the conference chair for the 4th Semi-Annual Medical Device Human Factors and Usability conference taking place over the next couple of days in San Diego. Find more information at https://t.co/Nmlcg2L8iw

[Natalie Abts @natalie_abts]

In a few weeks, I'll be discussing lessons learned and the path to recovery after validation failure. Hope to see you at the 4th Annual Medical Device Human Factors and Usability Conference in San Diego December 10-11! https://t.co/vNwc8xit5s

This guy gets me.

@braiesene @Raptors If it were a matter of preference I think I could take a pretty good guess.

Excited to discuss usability guidelines and future regulatory trends at the PFS West Coast conference today @SMipharm #smipfsusa

[Sacha Burn @sachaburn]

Where does #humanfactors fit into quality and safety? Honored to represent @MedicalHFE at the @GUMedicine Executive Masters in Clinical Quality, Safety, and Leadership onsite learning today!

Another good reason to those of us in the medical device industry to do our part in developing safe, intuitive products that don’t increase the burden on clinicians https://t.co/mfmvywpOQ0

Human factors and usability principles are critical to producing well-designed apps, even when they do not fall under regulatory purview. Read more about how a multi-disciplinary work group developed a set of usability guidelines for mobile apps https://t.co/MZPH32KjCu

@rachel_wynn Even after I did it the first time, I still instinctively did it twice more!

[Natalie Abts @natalie_abts]

Suboptimal design got me 3 times in a row. I selected my airline and city (from a very long list of unfilterable radio buttons), then immediately tapped Clear Filters. A predictable error resulting from failure to consider user expectations.

[Natalie Abts @natalie_abts]

Join us at the HFES Healthcare Symposium in less than two weeks to hear about what going on in the world of healthcare human factors. I'll be presenting about the development process of usability guidelines for mobile apps https://t.co/RLs4v20HAV

A must-read regarding what the MAUDE database isn't capturing https://t.co/8y1apLQOOh
