What is human factors engineering and how does it augment product development? Bryant, VP of Human Factors at Research Collective, walks us through this data-driven world. Pipeline Design & Engineering partners with medical device engineering teams who need turnkey equipment such as cycle test machines, custom test fixtures, or automation equipment but don’t have the bandwidth or resources internally to develop that equipment. You can find us on the web at www.testfixturedesign.com and www.designtheproduct.com.

The relationship between human factors and design controls often creates confusion in the medical device industry. Today's guests are Russ Branaghan and Bryant Foster from Research Collective, a human factors and user experience consultancy. In this episode we discuss how to integrate human factors into design controls to reduce risk and improve patient outcomes. Some of the highlights of the show include: ● Research Collective helps design medical devices that are easy to learn and efficient to use to reduce risk and improve patient outcomes. ● Product development involves experts and scientific knowledge about how people work, make decisions, and learn to reduce risk. ● Human factors is defined as area that applies all human sciences to design of products and processes. ● Usability consists of four components: Easy to learn, efficient to use, memorability, and subjective satisfaction. ● Human factors (above the neck) and ergonomics (below the neck) are one and the same, but have slightly different connotations. ● Best practices for human factors include understanding, testing, and evaluating user needs, capabilities, and limitations. ● Class II and III (some Class I) products require usability testing that includes observation. Design input should be objective and measurable. ● Victory Lap: Validation usability study should represent culmination of work completed to make sure people can use the product.

The topic of human factors can be confusing: How does it relate to design factors and risk? Why is it included in the regulations and how can this factor be handled? On today's episode, we have Bryant Foster, the Vice President of Research & Design at Research Collective. Bryant applies the principles of cognitive psychology to the design of new technologies and is a great resource on the topic. Some of the highlights of the show include: ● What Bryant does as the VP of Research & Design at Research Collective and what his main focus is. ● The differences, overlaps, and intersections between human factors, design controls, project development, and research and development as these processes fit into the medical device industry. ● How companies should address the human factors standpoint. ● Common mistakes to avoid when considering the human factors. ● Human factors in usability and ergonomics as well as the difference between formative studies and validation. ● What a task analysis is and how that relates to the overall risk assessment. ● The importance of considering the various users of the product or device. ● What human factors has to do with post-market usability.

THIS WEEK: Star Wars Episode 8 Attack of the Controversial Movie. On this episode, your hosts Audy and Elvin brought the party with them and are joined by three guest co-hosts and movie/Star Wars enthusiasts, Sean Lindenmuth, Bryant Foster, and the show's producer, Jessica "Peety Draws" Elliott. First thing's first, Audy and Elvin review The Last Jedi on a non-spoiler basis. Elvin says the force is strong with this latest entry, but it could have been stronger suffering from some story missteps, but ultimately pulls out a compelling ending. Audy felt it was good movie for the most part, and a great movie in other parts, feeling that the subversive direction at the expense of the franchise mythos was a great and much needed decision to battle the fatigue of the Star Wars franchise. Next Bryant, Sean and Jessica join to discuss spoilers and other elements like their feelings on Poe Dameron's character development, did the Canto Bight scene work, and thoughts of Luke Skywalker's long awaited return. Lastly, Audy conducts an exit survey where he asks the co-host questions like "Who is the movie's MVP?", "Best Moment of the movie?" and "Ws the franchise headed in the right direction?".  Star Wars: The Last Jedi Audy: 3 out of 4 stars "Hell Yeah"  Elvin: 3 out of 4 stars "Hell Yeah"  Sean: 3 out of 4 stars "Hell Yeah"  Jessica: 3 out of 4 stars "Hell Yeah"  Bryant: 3.5 out of 4 stars "Hell Yeah" (Personally his favorite Star Wars film ever)    This episode's hashtags: #AssholeYoda #KylosManTitties    Remember to Listen, subscribe, rate, review and follow our guys on social media and Itunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher.

This Week: Your hosts Audy and Elvin are joined by their friends and fellow cinephiles,Bryant Foster and Warren James. First all four guys review Edgar Wright's new Heist/Comedy crime film 'Baby Driver' - Elvin, Warren and Bryant all give it a Hell Yeah because of its combination of visceral action scenes and usage of music, whereas Audy thought Edgar Wright was trying to hard to replicate Quentin Tarentino,and was a pale imitation to a much superior same genre movie 'Drive. Next Audy, conducts an exit survey of Baby Driver by asking questions to the rest of the panelists, such as exactly "On a scale of 1 to 10 how punchable is Ansel Egort's face?". Then Lastly, Warren, Audy and Elvin review the Columbia Pictures/Marvel Studios joint venture - "Spiderman: Homecoming. Warren and Elvin gave it a "Hell Yeah" review, while Audy gave it a "Hell No" and felt that Spider-man deserved a better movie than what was given with the disjointed action scenes, banal music score along with very rough amateur direction from Jon Watts.  This week's guests hosts:    1.

This week: Squad goals! And no we're not talking Taylor Swift! Your favorite movie critics discuss the Warner Bros/DC hype beast, Suicide Squad. Audy struggled with the disjointed film and internal decision-making turmoil that created the final cut between David Ayer and Warner Bros., while Elvin gave the film an unprecedented rating from the strong leads of Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Also, the fellas bring on their friend and fellow cinephile, Bryant Foster, to discuss if Suicide Squad delivered the anticipatory hype, what the next step for this franchise is, and where the hell the artist formally known as Joker was in the whole movie.
