Dear participants,
We are absolutely delighted to welcome each of you to SMiās Pre-Filled
Syringes East Coast conference.
Over the past decade, pre-fi lled syringe venues have grown signifi cantly
in terms of content and attendance and much of this can be attributed
to the interest and need to share information, as the development of
pre-fi lled syringe drug products are a prime example of complex, multi-
disciplinary efforts. Pre-fi lled syringes have undoubtedly improved the lives
of the patients who rely on these drug products. As such, as an industry,
we share a responsibility to continue to develop and evolve these drug
products as new technologies in delivery, formulation and manufacturing
emerge ā also considering the impact that global regulatory and
geopolitical landscapes may have ā in order to meet the needs of our
patients and improve upon therapeutic options.
The meeting will therefore allow for the face-to-face assembly of subject
matter experts in all areas related to the development of pre-fi lled syringe
and other related combination drug products, and thereby provide a
tremendous opportunity for meaningful discourse.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Workshop overview
This workshop will cover how to successfully incorporate Human Factors into the development process for
connected drug delivery systems to achieve both commercial goals and meet regulatory requirements. The
Human Factors engineering process and regulatory requirements for traditional medical device development
are fairly well established and will be reviewed to ensure there is a common understanding of the current
landscape. We will then explore how to adapt this process to meet the needs and requirements for a system
which includes digital as well as physical elements.
Why you should attend
For anyone thinking about bringing digital health solutions to market, this workshop will identify the
considerations that need to be addressed when designing a comprehensive Human Factors engineering
process for a system which contains both physical and digital elements, and how to leverage the tools,
methodologies and best practices across device development, User Interface (UI), and User Experience (UX)
development.

Workshop overview
This workshop will provide a practical approach to ensuring that your prefi lled syringe design fi ts the needs
of laypersons and supports use outside the clinic. Youāll learn how to characterize the intended users and
use environments, discover and fi ll gaps in your understanding of the users, explore possible risks, convert
user needs into user interface requirements, and provide a complete support system when your product is in
commercial use. Gathering these usability design inputs creates a solid foundation for your product design
that will result in user satisfaction and ensure safe use.
Why you should attend
ā¢ Understand diverse users, from parents caring for children to aging adults caring for their spouses
ā¢ Explore environments ranging from the home and workplace to worldwide travel destinations
ā¢ Plan for fi eld research
ā¢ Map user needs to demonstrable user interface requirements
ā¢ Provide a complete support system, including effective instructions for home use
ā¢ Capitalize on early research to reduce the number of design iterations

payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given until
payment has been received.
substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not āshareā a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.

substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a Ā£50 administration charge, providing
that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of the event.
Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide the
conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is unable
to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefi ngs we are not normally able to
provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of orders placed
for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifi cally to order. If we have
to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately, but disclaim any
further liability.
alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
