FURTHER INFORMATION
CHI+MED
Based at the
FIT Lab, the
research officer will be part of an internationally-leading Human-Computer
Interaction group within the
CHI+MED project.
CHI+MED is a major EPSRC funded research project that brings together
researchers from UCL, Swansea University, Queen Mary University of
London, and City University.
The post will be to work within Work Package 2 of the larger CHI+MED project; full details are available here.
Full information about the CHI+MED
project is available at the
project website.
This research post is part of a larger project, CHI+MED, that aims to
improve the usability and safety of interactive medical devices. Improving the safety of interactive medical devices is a pressing area
for research because even simple errors can result in incorrect
treatment, or patient death. The work at Swansea is
focused on understanding the details of interaction with devices and how they are programmed, taking a computer science view of their internal working.
Our work compliments UCL's which is exploring the factors that influence user slip errors (as
opposed to mistakes due to lack of knowledge) when conducting
interactive tasks.
The full proposal on which the CHI+MED project is based, is available here.
