Popolnoma nič ni prepuščeno naključju. Razvoj, izboljšave in implementacije le teh izhajajo iz študij, ki jih Esaote izvaja z namenom, da so področja ergonomija, workflow in dizajn, ki so ključnega pomena pri uporabi diagnostičnega ultrazvoka, optimalno dovršena in se nenehno izboljšujejo.
V fazi oblikovanja ultrazvočnih aparatov so bili evalvirani različni tipi potencialnih uporabnikov (višina/teža, stoje/sede) in tako so se pridobili podatki:
|
Izsledki študij, testov, simulacij in evalvacij so imeli neposredni vpliv na določene segmente ultrazvočnih aparatov:
|
V tem trenutku so v procesu izdelave in implementacije številne optimizacije in inovacije na področju ergonomije, workflow-a in dizajn-a na novih Esaote MyLab ultrazvočnih aparatih. |
