HealthTech & Human Factors Panel Discussion and Mixer
Come and be a part of a Human factors ID & UX Mixer focused on HealthTech and medical devices, hosted by Loft Design, and the NEC HFES chapter
From Clinical Innovation to Market Readiness: The Role of Human Factors, Industrial Design & UX in Medical Devices
Join Loft Design, the New England Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (NEC HFES), and IDSA Boston for an evening of discussion, insights, and networking at the intersection of medical technology, human factors, industrial design, and user experience.
We’ll kick off with an exclusive panel featuring the team from Spryte Medical, sharing insights from the development of their AI-enabled neuro Optical Coherence Tomography (nOCT) imaging platform and the regulatory and clinical milestones involved in advancing an innovative technology toward clinical use. Their insights on the challenges of translating breakthrough medical technology into clinical practice.
Our discussion will explore the role of human factors and usability engineering throughout the medical device development lifecycle, including:
Whether you work in medical device design, engineering, clinical research, regulatory affairs, quality, or human factors, this is an opportunity to exchange practical insights with professionals navigating the complexities of bringing new medical technologies to market.
Following the panel, stay for a relaxed networking mixer with colleagues across the HealthTech community. Enjoy food and drinks, make new connections, and continue the conversation about how human-centered design can advance medical innovation.
In her research and design work, Saloni believes that products aren't discarded because they have no value; rather, they're replaced because they fail to keep up with people and their needs. This realization has led her to focus on developing products and experiences that evolve with the user while remaining empathetic to how they can improve lives. As an industrial designer, Saloni is passionate about bringing together design, engineering, and business to tackle pressing challenges around us. She has worked in a variety of fields, including social innovation, healthcare, sustainable product development, and consumer products.
Prior to Loft, Saloni got her master’s degree at MIT where she saw how the design process can be a key component to bring state-of-the-art solutions can to life. Her work at MIT ranged from conducting user research in zero gravity to make space more inclusive at the Media Lab, developing accessible pregnancy tests for people with vision impairments, and measuring the body's hydration levels at the Gray lab, IMES.
