Human factor issues pertaining to a conductance telemetry system that relies on skin electrodes

摘要

This project developed a tool for the assessment of human factors relating to a circulatory support device conductance telemetry system. The human factors were identified and a survey was designed to evaluate these factors. Three electrode-garment systems and a testing protocol were developed to assess the survey tool. Team members tested each system following the testing protocol, evaluating each system with the survey tool. The outcomes of the assessment address the comfort and convenience relating to the human interface of a conductance telemetry system.
