Technology in medical devices is advancing exponentially. Are research methods keeping up? Simple interviews and observation are not enough as new products have increasingly complex ways for users to interact with them. At the same time, new technologies are emerging that allow the collection of “big data.” User research methods should adapt to capture better data and distill those data into information for developing powerful new devices and systems. Learn about these new technologies—such as 3D cameras, voice-to-text software, and tablet apps for electronic data capture—case studies for their use, and strategies for how to adapt them for better research.
