The HFES International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care in New York convenes experts from across healthcare, regulatory bodies, industry, and academia to share advances in science, best practices, and patient safety. The event provides a focused forum to exchange insights on usability, risk management, and real-world application in medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
Ypsomed will contribute with four presentations addressing key aspects of modern human factors practice: leveraging AI to enhance known use problem analysis, validating connected smart autoinjector accessories with user guidance and data logging, shaping confident first-use experiences for digital devices, and generating practical insights from large-volume autoinjector development. Together, these sessions reflect the breadth of HF expertise required in today’s evolving device landscape.
An opportunity to engage with the HF community and exchange practical lessons from real-world development experience. See you in New York – add our sessions to your agenda and connect with our HF experts on site.
