Healthcare diagnostics has seen a significant increase in over-the-counter (OTC) or direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing. A trajectory that was already in the making prior to COVID-19, this area has increased at a faster pace as more consumers are comfortable performing OTC tests at home. This change in consumer expectation, as well as an evolution of global regulatory requirements, has led to increased considerations and requirements by IVD manufacturers to produce robust testing options. Join NAMSA for this webinar as we evaluate those enhanced requirements specifically as they affect human factors and usability engineering to ensure all IVDs are safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments. Early understanding of these requirements is crucial and can influence the device display, controls, functions, results interpretations, instructions and countless other design inputs impacting the consumer.
