Mauro Usability Science

We are fluent in all critical usability research methods and pioneered the use of several of these methods in the U.S. in the early 1970s. In all formative and summative projects, we employ the appropriate methods required to answer your complex business questions.

Our neuroscience-based advanced data capture methodologies deliver robust quantitative data to answer client’s most complex medical device research questions, employing methodologies such as 3D Spatial Tracking, Newtonian Force Measurement, Electromyography (EMG), Eye-Tracking, Micro-Facial Expression Analysis (Emotional Response), and others.

We have extensive expertise with critical user populations, ranging from COPPA age children to individuals of advanced age with severe medical conditions, as well as complex healthcare provider (HCP) and patient populations.

We specialize in highly focused and experienced usability testing and human factors engineering optimization expertise for business-critical, time-sensitive FDA responses.

Our heuristics analyses provide immediate feedback on critical usability and user experience issues present in your medical product or system. We've conducted extensive heuristics on complex medical products, drug delivery devices, imaging systems, patient EMRs and related processes using specialized heuristics rule sets directed at FDA HE 75 guidelines.

We have extensive experience in the design and testing of medical product instructions for use (IFU) and reference guide (RG) systems. We work with clients to ensure that FDA guidance and mandated human factors engineering performance criteria are met for IFU and RG components of medical and drug delivery devices.
