Repertoire: UC engineer talks about human factors in medicine

Repertoire magazine, a trade publication for health care distributors, spoke to a University of Cincinnati biomedical engineer about why it's important to consider how doctors and patients will use medical products when designing them.

UC College of Engineering and Applied Science professor Mary Beth Privitera told Repertoire that each product should consider whom will use it, including the user's language, education or skill level and even relevant cultural norms.
