CLEIO’s human factors engineering team is part of the design team, a crucial detail. Working closely with user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) designers, as well as with industrial designers, allows us to focus on user experience and increase user satisfaction. As a result, our medical devices are safe, effective, and pleasant to use
Our human factors engineering experts maintain constant contact with all other teams, from mechanical and electronic engineers to software developers, eliminating boundaries between disciplines.
Through user research, in collaboration with the UX team, we identify user profiles, context and environment of use. This insight helps us recognize device usage pain points and identify risks to mitigate.

We employ an iterative, user-centered process to produce several solution versions, aiming for a product that meets user needs.
We regularly conduct formative evaluations to test concepts, advancing medical device development to make it safer, more intuitive, and more user-friendly.
