- This paper presents a novel, safety-focused approach to analysing interactive technologies within complex systems. It exemplifies theory development grounded in empirical evidence (150h of detailed observational data). It was a top-five article on ‘Human Factors & Organizational Issues’ (IMIA Yearbook 2016: https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.1055/s-0038-1639052). It was central to accumulated evidence presented to MHRA on the importance of Human Factors in medical device regulation (contact: Tony Sant). This led to Blandford presenting at two annual MHRA/NHSE symposia and to MHRA producing the first European guidance on human factors in medical device design (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-applying-human-factors-to-medical-devices), with Blandford as a leading contributor.
