About Us

The Healthcare Human Factors Group is primarily concerned with making the healthcare system safer and simpler for all that interact with it. Using principles of cognitive science, industrial and biomedical engineering and systems design, and the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation’s state of the art usability labs, the team designs and evaluates environments, processes, tools and technologies so that they are natural to and supportive of the people working with them.

Our mission is to improve healthcare for people through safe, usable and effective technologies and processes.

Our vision is a healthcare system that at every stage in its process, is informed by human factors principles.
