Medical Device Research Experience
Human-Centered Insights to Improve Product Safety, Usability, and Outcomes
Medical products need to perform in high-pressure environments, often with critical consequences. I’ve led research for medical device manufacturers focused on understanding how clinicians and patients actually use their products, and where design can reduce risk, improve clarity, and support better outcomes.
Every project is built around context. I’ve spent time in clinics, hospitals, and surgical centers observing real use, uncovering unspoken needs, and translating insights into actionable product improvements.
This research aligns with IEC 62366 usability standards and follows ANSI HE75 human factors guidelines to ensure products meet both clinical and regulatory expectations.
