- This paper demonstrates how interaction design methods such as 'quick and dirty' prototyping can be used effectively to elicit canine requirements when designing life-saving interactive systems for medical alert dogs and their assisted humans. Awarded an Honourable Mention at the leading international HCI conference, ACM CHI2014 (acceptance rate 23%). Work has informed the design of canine alarm systems for medical alert dogs, in collaboration with leading UK charity (CEO and Chief Scientist, Medical Detection Dogs, details on request). It was demonstrated at the Universities Week Exhibition 2014 and has been included in ACI curricula internationally (e.g. Zamansky et al., 2017).
