This chapter provides the reader with fundamentals for addressing HCI design and highlights areas of particular interest to biomedical engineers. Work in HCI is abundant in academic, government, and commercial sectors. This chapter selects fi om this work essential and practical information needed to incorporate (a) human experience considerations into the engineering of biomedical products and... 

Biomedical engineers This group includes persons that use computer-based tools to design and build biomedical products. 

Since the successful use of biomedical products and systems is often critical, it is imperative that designers understand and accommodate the cognitive demands on and abilities of users not only with regard to use of specific tools but the broader activity and work context in which complex human-machine systems operate. This understanding and accommodation is achieved, in part, through the methods described below. 

Biomedical products and systems are inherently amenable to a design approach that incorporates ideas of embodied interaction. For example, biomedical products and systems by design monitor, compensate for, augment, and utilize the embodiment of agency either by people or by robots. In this sense, embodied agency provides a congruent model for assistive biomedical systems. 

The ability to design systems and products is a key element of any field of engineering, so it is natural to expect that biomedical engineers would be the ones designing medical products and devices. However, biomedical engineering is still a small field relative to electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering. 

In addition to polyesters, other types of biodegradable polymers such as polyurethanes, polyanhydrides, poly(amino acids), poly(vinyl alcohol), and poly(ester amide), are generally processable by conventional processing techniques for plastics. Their physical properties can be expected to be comparable, and sometimes can be used to supplement biodegradable polyesters. Although these polymers are more likely used in niche applications or incorporated with other polymers by making composite materials, they obviously provide more material choices in the design and manufacture of various biomedical products. 

Today, the focus is on the development of more modem composites with cement-mortar matrix or mixed matrices with mortar and epossidic resins for high-temperature applications. There are several different applications of these composites buried pipes, containers, boats, road vehicles, aeronautics and space devices, civil engineering applications, automotive components, sports equipment, biomedical products, and many other items designed to have high mechanical performance and/ or dimensional stability in different laminated and low-weight settings.

Models and reference standards applicable to design and production of biomedical products... 

In this section, we give a very general and synthetic view of the reference standards involved into the design and implementation of management systems dedicated to development and production of biomedical products, with reference to the main European and US standards. 

Under static conditions, and using suitable molds, it is possible to obtain uniform and smooth BC products with defined shapes, which can be employed for instance in the biomedical field [12] as artificial blood vessels [8] or artificial skin [40]. The moldability of BC during biosynthesis and shape retention is a feature that may enable the development of designed shape products directly in the culture media [8, 41], increasing the application range of BC.
