Avoiding hazardous situations and enhancing accessibility by analysing perception, cognition and action

Perception-Cognition-Action analysis is included as part of international standard IEC 62366 on the application of usability engineering to medical devices. This approach breaks user interactions down into a sequence of these three components. An error can occur at any point in this chain. When a use error occurs, it may result in hazardous situations. The […]
NeuroNest – the future of Alzheimer’s care. The value behind rapid prototyping for healthcare.

Digital health products are a way to take the relationship with patients, doctors, pharmacists and other target groups to the next level. Validating the prototype before investment in the full solution is key in order to improve chances of success. A clickable prototype accelerates user-centric innovation by generating immediate feedback from target users. It allows […]
