Left-handers vulnerable to Opticlick error
This video shows an insulin injection pen which has the potential to be read wrongly by left-handed people. The affordances of holding the pen mean it may be read upside down by left-handers, e.g. 25 for some and 52 for others. Be nice if this was considered before it went to market. Is this reasonable, who should have considered it, and what lessons have been learned for future devices?
