Every product starts with the people who will use it.
Human factors and usability engineering are built into our product design process from the start. Regardless of whether it’s a medical device, combination product, or clinical software, we draw on known clinical insights into user behavior to design products for safe and intuitive use, reflecting our innovation-driven approach.
Our human factors team functions as a dedicated HF consultancy, offering the full suite of services spanning the entire product development process from concept to validation, market submission and beyond. This includes early-stage user research, critical task and use-related risk analyses, usability studies, ergonomic assessments, design of labels and packaging, and instructions for use.
Our human factors team conducts targeted research to understand all characteristics of the intended users and their use environments. Using methods such as contextual inquiry, interviews, and observation, we identify workflows, needs and environmental conditions that shape product use.
Sanner operates dedicated human factors suites within our design centers in the United States and United Kingdom, each equipped with observation rooms and audiovisual streaming capabilities to support real-time study monitoring and stakeholder visibility. Beyond our in-house facilities, we have the ability to host studies anywhere in the world, bringing usability testing closer to the users and environments that matter most.
We have experience in industrial design and user experience & user interface design (UX/UI) for numerous types of devices, such as connected diagnostics, drug delivery devices, and pharmaceutical packaging products.
We reduce use-related risk and compile submission-ready evidence to support your global regulatory submissions. We design medical devices that best serve clinicians and patients while helping you meet IEC 62366 and FDA requirements.
Our design and manufacturing services are ISO 13485 certified and work in compliance with global medical device standards.
