Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process for user needs elicitation. A preliminary study on a device for auto-injection of epinephrine.
Abstract Understanding user needs is essential to design biomedical devices that are efficacious in real life (clinically effective). Few studies propose analytic quantitative methods to elicit user needs. This paper presents a preliminary application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to elicit user needs. As a case study we focused on the use of a […]
User needs elicitation via analytic hierarchy process (AHP). A case study on a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner.
Abstract Background: The rigorous elicitation of user needs is a crucial step for both medical device design and purchasing. However, user needs elicitation is often based on qualitative methods whose findings can be difficult to integrate into medical decision-making. This paper describes the application of AHP to elicit user needs for a new CT scanner […]
