Beyond safety and efficiency in acute care: The experience of an embodied staff-environment interaction
Overview
Safety and efficiency are important in complex, socio-technical domains containing distributed devices such as power plants or healthcare. Therefore, technical developments, evaluations, and research focused on a safe and efficient interaction with technology. Researchers implicitly or explicitly considered only classic concepts of interaction such as, for example, interaction-as-transmission (maximum throughput of information).
The project will provide insights about the explanatory power and design power of modern theoretical concepts about interaction in safety-critical domains. The results will contribute to understanding and balancing efficiency and meaningfulness in a pervasive staff-environment interaction while maintaining safety.
