(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) HEART and HEP methodologies present opportunities in enhancing human error assessment and risk management, particularly within R&D environments focused on device design. By integrating these techniques, error identification, quantification, and reduction can be improved, leading to safer designs and impactful updates of existing products.

Dublin, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Human Error Prevention (HEP) - Risk Factors and Strategies (Dec 15, 2025)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

Product Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART),is a technique used in the field of Human Reliability Assessment (HRA), for the purposes of evaluating the probability of a human error occurring throughout the completion of a specific task, Also called Human Error Prevention (HEP).Used to enhance risk and human factors analysis with the goal of product use error reduction.

Device Risk Analysis/Management, and Use / Human Factors Engineering and related software and hardware design, development, verification and validation is difficult to manage, document and presentation focuses on the use of HEP, HRA and HEART tools to add additional review areas to Risk Management and Human Factors Analysis to effect beneficial and safer design development and changes under Design Control in primarily the R&D environment, for new products and major changes to existing product.

Why Should You Attend

Product Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART), used by NASA,is a technique used in the field of Human Reliability Assessment (HRA), for the purposes of evaluating the probability of a human error occurring throughout the completion of a specific task, and with the end result of Human Error Prevention (HEP; Use/Usability Engineering).

Measures can then be taken to reduce the likelihood of errors occurring within a system and therefore lead to improvement in in conjunction with Device Risk Management and Use / Human Factors Engineering in device Design Control among other activities.

There exist three primary reasons for conducting an HRA:

1) Error identification

2) Error quantification

3) Error reduction.

There can be a number of techniques used, split into one of two classifications: first-generation techniques, and second generation techniques. First generation techniques work on the basis of the simple dichotomy of 'fits/doesn't fit' in the matching of the error situation in context with related error identification and quantification. Second generation techniques are more theory based in their assessment and quantification of errors.

Who Should Attend:

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies in evaluating their R&D, Product Development and Major Product Changes with the focus on medical devices. It will help attendees understand and recognize the most common Design Control failings and their fixes, using HEP consideration in Risk and Human Factors considerations and implementation. This information applies to personnel/companies in the Medical Device, Diagnostic, and combination products fields. The employees who will benefit include:

• Senior management
• Regulatory Affairs
• Quality Assurance / QAE
• Production
• Engineering, R&D, and product development and testing teams

All personnel involved in a U.S. FDA-regulated environment. Especially those involved in new product development quality management systems looking for some novel approaches to existing risk and use error resolution.

Key Topics Covered:

• HEP Considerations
• HRA Considerations
• HEART and Complementary Tools
• Use of HEP, et al, in Risk and Use Engineering
• Expected Regulatory Deliverables
