Module 18 - Drug Device Combinations and Other Technologies

07/12/2023

What are the future challenges of Human Factors and Usability Engineering? Usability and Human Factors (Engineering) is changing rapidly in its application and methods. As such we have to enhance and improve the standardised methods:  New DDCP’s are increasingly digital – the effect of battery life and living with these devices requires an understanding of user experience along with use safety.  New DDCP’s are increasingly digital – the data that is gathered requires more security .  New DDCP’s will require more effort and time from the user (counter-intuitive) and therefore the benefits of the therapy will need to be increasingly obvious to the user.  New DDCP’s for global use will require human factors from not just the USA, but soon also in China. The future may include other specific countries.  New DDCP’s include Artificial Intelligence (AI, AGI) and Machine Learning (ML). How we evaluate users these devices will have to change.  New DDCP’s will require internet services and data storage.
