MedAcuity — a Boston-based software development partner for medical device makers — and Minneapolis-based Fathom Consulting are offering a free webinar exploring “the importance of design and development collaboration to keep projects on time and on budget.”

The four panelists — Mary Donnelly and Elizabeth Sipple from Fathom and Bruce Johnston and Mike Kropp from MedAcuity — will discuss why and how collaboration is essential for innovation, usability and safety in medical device interfaces.

Registration for the Sept. 15 webinar is free of charge.

Topics addressed will include: breaking down communication barriers; putting users first coupled with safety and reliability; why to prototype; when to user test; avoiding FDA pushback due to poor UI/UX design; meeting business objectives; and ensuring reasonable development efforts.
