DescriptionThis one-day course is presented by an experienced human factors engineer who specializes in medical device development and has led innumerable usability tests of medical devices. The course will give attendees a firm understanding of validation usability testing (also called summative usability testing) – a pivotal step in a comprehensive human factors engineering program. Attendees' new understanding will empower them to plan and manage usability testing efforts, or perhaps even prepare test plans, conduct test sessions and prepare test reports.
