Presentation
Can You Hear Me Now? Exploring In-Home Sound Levels and Device Design Inputs, from Data to Design
DescriptionRecent data collected from an in-home contextual-inquiry actual-use study provided insight into sound levels in representative home settings during use of injection devices. These data are interpreted alongside other published sources that characterize sound levels in home settings to tell a comprehensive story of realistic and representative sound level ranges that can be utilized when developing design input requirements.
During this case study discussion, the presenter will explain how in-home ambient noise level data were applied to an injection device development project for aging patients and their care partners. With careful consideration of the unique needs of these user populations, real-world data was a key input into designing system requirements for audible feedback produced by the injection device. The case study will summarize formative human factors data to illustrate how the team determined audible feedback was a risk control measure they were interested in pursuing, questions about sound characteristics the team debated during the effort to craft appropriate system requirements, and how the team ultimately arrived at the audible feedback design input requirements.
The intended audience for this talk is primarily individuals involved or interested in early-stage medical device and combination product development, including industry professionals, consultants, academics, and students.
