Our group is focused on how to make the healthcare system safer for everyone. Our team of biomedical and human factors engineers, cognitive psychologists, and health care providers is the largest such team in Canada. We work collaboratively to design and evaluate environments, processes, tools, and technologies – so that each is easy to use and supportive.
Our mission is to improve healthcare for people through safe, usable and effective technologies and processes.
Our vision is a healthcare system that is at every stage in its process, is informed by human factors principles.
Our activities include:
- Procurement decision support (comparative usability evaluation)
- User-centred design (iterative design and evaluation of new products, environments, and processes)
- Human Factors education (workshops and tutorials, including online)
