Abstract:
Manufacturers of medical devices are legally required to carry out post-market surveillance and respond to any on-market complaints they receive about their device. When it comes to addressing use issues experienced on market, manufacturers often focus on revising the instructions for use (IFU) and labeling. One of the challenges with this approach is the potential need to re-validate via a human factors validation study, without knowing whether the changes made will be effective in addressing the identified issues. With populations becoming increasingly technically literate, there is now great potential to rethink the way we can support self-injection through digital and web-based tools. This paper introduces the potential of digital instructions to improve the user experience of self-injection and address known use issues, as well as the challenges of incorporating them in medical device design.

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
