Safe and usable ensemble formation for networked medical devices: a comparative study of 5G, NFC and pop-up pairing

Key Points

• This research aims to compare wireless ensemble formation techniques for networked medical devices with a focus on safety and usability.
• Systematic comparison of 5G, NFC, and pop-up pairing techniques.
• Gathering early clinical feedback from participants on their preferences and experiences.
• Evaluating the perceived safety and reliability of each method.
• Participants preferred NFC for its perceived safety.
• 5G and pop-up pairing showed higher risk, needing refinements for safety.
• Feedback indicated a preference for slower but more reliable methods over faster, error-prone options.
