Use-Lab Podcast – Episode 2: Overwarning

Episode 2 explores the hidden risks of overwarning in the medical device industry. When instructions are overloaded with repetitive safety notices, users tend to skip them entirely — turning important information into background noise and creating real safety risks. We discuss why the “more is better” approach fails, how medical errors have become a major global issue, and why modern standards like IEC 62366‑1 and IEC/IEEE 82079‑1 now require proof that instructions are actually effective in reducing risk. The shift is clear: from legal self‑protection toward user‑focused, context‑sensitive information that genuinely improves safety.
