At the University of Utah Department of Anesthesia's Center for Patient Simulation, we know the earlier you can test your ideas, the better. Discover how we can assist in testing your healthcare technology (medical device, digital decision support, etc)
Based out of Salt Lake City, we facilitate usability studies for medical devices undergoing regulatory approval or maintenance. With over 20 years experience in providing clinical access, recruiting services, voice-of-customer experiences, and usability study resources, we ensure that our clients get the usability study data they need. Our interdisciplinary team of highly specialized experts (designers, biomedical engineers, clinical recruiters, human factors engineers, medical clinicians) have assisted in usability tests for a wide range of products including patient monitors, critical care ventilators, infusion pumps, patient information systems, medical device user interfaces, medical education software, decision support software, and wearable technology
We work with major international device manufacturers and leading medical institutions. A few companies we have collaborated with:
- Becton Dickinson
- Dräger
- GE Healthcare
- Hamilton Medical
- Medtronic
- Philips Healthcare
- Johnson & Johnson
- Smiths Medical
- Stanfield Systems
We have partnered with the Anesthesiology Bioengineering Laboratory, which has been involved in medical device development, research, and evaluation for nearly 50 years. From turn-key usability testing services to simply facilitating your usability tests, we tailor our capabilities in engineering usability test design, human factors, and clinical scenario development to your needs.
Our clinically realistic, high- fidelity patient simulation ccenter may be modified to match the clinical environment of your technology. We also offer conference rooms for focus groups and debriefing. With unmatched recruiting capabilities, we recruit clinicians from a range of clinical backgrounds to get your product proper clinical exposure. Our center has state-of-the-art audio and video recording and secure streaming capabilities. We have extensive experience in obtaining IRB study approvals.
