MediCHI: safer interaction in medical devices.

Medical devices embedded with computer systems have been widely adopted in many healthcare situations with the intention to deliver accurate and effective medication. However, due to the nature of medical devices, usability issues and the complexity of their context of use, designing and evaluating interactive medical devices from a human error management perspective has always being challenging, particularly in high-risk areas. This workshop sets out to bring together international researchers and designers working in relevant fields to discuss, review, compare and demonstrate effective practical approaches that can be adopted to improve the design of medical devices for safer interaction in the future.
