Download 42T’s MedTech white paper to design safer, more intuitive devices for patients managing care at home
As healthcare shifts from hospitals to homes, home-use medical devices are becoming central to the patient experience. But many are still designed for clinical environments, not for elderly, untrained or anxious users trying to manage complex treatments on their own.
Poor usability is a risk. It can reduce compliance, compromise safety and erode confidence. This white paper from 42 Technology (42T) explores how to design home-use medical devices that put patients first, using human-centred, real-world strategies to reduce user error and accelerate adoption.
What you’ll learn:
Human-centred design in action – Patient insights that help you design devices that are intuitive, accessible and trusted by users.
Simplifying complexity – Usability tactics that reduce cognitive load, improve compliance and enable safer self-care at home.
Designing for diverse patient needs – Strategies for elderly users, patients with limited mobility or digital literacy, and caregivers in shared home settings.
Navigating real-world environments – How space constraints, lighting, pets, and noise impact device design, and what to do about it.
Why design matters emotionally – How aesthetics influence trust, acceptance and long-term use.
Faster time to market with lower risk – The benefits of partnering with a MedTech-experienced development firm to streamline compliance and usability validation.
“Home health care is not just on the horizon; it is already here. Companies that adapt to this shift are building stronger relationships with patients, and this trust is key to successful adoption.”
