“…Acknowledging that technologies also need humans to operate them, several additional scales have subsequently been developed with the aim of assessing the human aspects of operating technologies. These include Human Readiness Levels (HRL) (Phillips, 2010) Human Factors Readiness Levels (HFRL) (Giudice et al, 2015;Hale et al, 2011), Human Capability Level (HCL) and Human Integration Readiness Level (HIRL) (Miller et al, 2016).…”

In this paper, we introduce the Societal Readiness (SR) Thinking Tool to aid researchers and innovators in developing research projects with greater responsiveness to societal values, needs, and expectations. The need for societally-focused approaches to research and innovation—complementary to Technology Readiness (TR) frameworks—is presented. Insights from responsible research and innovation (RRI) concepts and practice, organized across critical stages of project-life cycles are discussed with reference to the development of the SR Thinking Tool. The tool is designed to complement not only shortfalls in TR approaches, but also improve upon other efforts to integrate RRI, sustainability, and design thinking in research and innovation cycles. Operationalization and early-stage user tests of the Tool are reported, along with discussion of potential future iterations and applications.

“…HF maturity models. It is pertinent to clarify that a number of HF maturity models have been developed (Carvajal & Moreno, 2017;Del Giudice, Hale, & Johnston, 2015;Jokela & Lalli, 2003;J. Mitchell, 2015;Nickleby HFE Ltd, 2002;Sherwood-Jones, Earthy, Bowler, Taylor, & Forster, 1999), and these should not be confused with the proposed tool.…”

As part of a comprehensive Quality System Regulation (QSR), the human factors (HF) validation requirement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a relatively recent topic. Multiple issues and bottlenecks have emerged since the publication of the draft guidance in 2011. The scientific literature on the topic of ‘FDA HF validation requirement’ is mostly focused on HF methods to ensure success from that perspective. However, the development of across-the-board strategies that can address other critical factors is necessary. No previous scientific research has outlined and addressed the problems considering the QSR and the needs of key stakeholders. For that purpose, this effort presents a narrative review of how the HF requirement for medical devices and combination products developed, as well as the issues and the interventions that have taken place to address the bottlenecks. Some essential considerations such as notorious knowledge-based and process-based gaps are discussed. Similarly, because of the demands of a changing QSR, attention is brought to the need to align key stakeholders, namely manufacturers and HF service providers (HFSPs). Also, the development of an industry (HFSPs) maturity assessment tool and future research for that purpose are proposed.

The Human Readiness Levels (HRL) scale is a simple nine-level scale developed as an adjunct to complement and supplement the existing Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) scale widely used across government agencies and industry. A multi-agency working group consisting of nearly 30 members representing the broader human systems integration (HSI) community throughout the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), other federal agencies, industry, and academia was established in August 2019. The working group’s charter was to mature the HRL scale and evaluate its utility, reliability, and validity for implementation in the systems acquisition lifecycle. Toward that end, the working group examined applicability of the HRL scale for a range of scenarios. This panel will discuss outcomes from the working group’s activities regarding HRL scale structure and usage.
