FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, August 22, 2023 – Successful Human Factors™, a leader in the improvement of human factors practices in medical device design, proudly presents Suabix™. This cutting-edge AI-powered platform revolutionizes the integration of human factors into medical device development.
Suabix™, currently patent-pending, represents a groundbreaking artificial intelligence system developed in collaboration with leading experts. It seamlessly incorporates human factors into medical device design, going beyond traditional guidelines to establish standardization through the Successful Human Factors (SHF) 2.0 framework.
The Suabix™ Story
“In the medical device industry, human factors engineering is often an afterthought, leading to usability issues and regulatory challenges,” explained Dr. Katia Rojas, Founder and Principal Consultant at Successful Human Factors™. “Suabix changes the game by embedding human factors from the start, enabling companies to achieve excellence efficiently.”
Suabix™ was born from Dr. Rojas’ passion for elevating human factors in medical device projects. She observed and highlighted the prevalent challenges and alarmingly high failure rates in regulatory human factors submissions within the medical device industry. It was at this juncture that the idea for a solution took root – the creation of the SHF 2.0 framework, a meticulously built model encompassing research of industry best practices and pivotal success factors. Yet, despite its potential to propel the industry forward, ongoing research has revealed a seemingly sluggish (but expected) rate of adoption. “This hurdle can be ascribed to persistent industry challenges, including regulatory pressures, underdeveloped processes, a lack of awareness and collaboration among key stakeholders,” Dr. Rojas pointed out.
Confronted with these roadblocks and the industry’s hesitancy to directly embrace the SHF 2.0 framework, Successful Human Factors joined forces with AI experts to give birth to Suabix. This innovation seamlessly melds SHF 2.0 with AI, resulting in an optimized, fast-tracked maturity, and collaborative approach to human-centered medical device design.
