Comprehensive Analysis
Human-Centered Design (HCD) is a scientifically-grounded methodology employed in product development, which prioritizes the user, their specific needs, and the intended use environment to create safe and effective products. Rooted in the principles of behavioral and cognitive psychology, HCD ensures a harmonious alignment between the design process and the medical device, meticulously tailored to user capabilities and expectations.
