There are real benefits to rigorously integrating human factors engineering —or usability design—into the development of patient or end user operated devices used in home-based healthcare and wearables for real-time monitoring and drug delivery.
Due to the potential limitations of the relatively unskilled end user operating unpredictably in an uncontrolled environment, bespoke design requirements will yield products that enhance capabilities and efficacy without raising use risk. This will in turn create more opportunities for growth within the distance care industry.
