What are the pros and cons of electronically monitoring inhaler use in asthma? A multistakeholder perspective (2016)
Journal Article

Introduction Electronic monitoring devices (EMDs) are the optimal method for collecting objective data on inhaler use in asthma. Recent research has investigated the attitudes of patients with asthma towards these devices. However, no research to...

Seeing the woods for the trees: the problem of information inefficiency and information overload on operator performance (2016)
Journal Article

One of the recurring questions in designing dynamic control environments is whether providing more information leads to better operational decisions. The idea of having every piece of information and increasing situation awareness is so tempting (and...

Out of hours workload management: Bayesian inference for decision support in secondary care (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: In this paper, we aim to evaluate the use of electronic technologies in Out of Hours (OoH) task-management for assisting the design of effective support systems in health care; targeting local facilities, wards or specific working groups....

Manufacturing in the cloud: a human factors perspective (2016)
Journal Article

Cloud manufacturing adopts a cloud computing paradigm as the basis for delivering shared, on-demand manufacturing services. The result is customer-centric supply chains that can be configured for cost, quality, speed and customisation. While the tech...

See I told you I was taking it! - attitudes of adolescents with asthma towards a device monitoring their inhaler use: Implications for future design (2016)
Journal Article

Adherence to treatment in asthma is often poor, particularly in adolescents and children where the condition is most prevalent. Electronic monitoring devices have shown potential for improving inhaler use, yet little research has considered the attit...

Alarm handling for health monitoring: operator strategies used in an electrical control room of a rail network (2016)
Journal Article

Alarm management is a key component of the successful operation of a prognostic or health-monitoring technology. Although alarms can alert the operator to critical information, false alarms and alarm flooding can cause major difficulties for successf...

Unsupervised labelling of sequential data for location identification in indoor environments (2016)
Journal Article

In this paper we present indoor positioning within unknown environments as an unsupervised labelling task on sequential data. We explore a probabilistic framework relying on wireless network radio signals and contextual information, which is increasi...

NightShift simulation to train newly qualified doctors in non-technical skills: a feasibility study (2016)
Journal Article

There is growing evidence of greater rates of morbidity and mortality in hospitals during out-of-hours shifts, which appears to be exacerbated during the period in which newly qualified doctors commence work. In order to combat this issue, an online... Read More about NightShift simulation to train newly qualified doctors in non-technical skills: a feasibility study.

3D printing system: an innovation for small-scale manufacturing in home settings? – early adopters of 3D printing systems in China (2016)
Journal Article

This study investigates Chinese consumers’ adoption of the innovative 3D printing systems for small-scale manufacturing in home settings. Empirical studies were conducted in a survey with 256 participants. The number of significant determinants that...

Encouraging serendipity in research: designing technologies to support connection-making (2016)
Journal Article

Mobile applications have the ability to present information to users that is influenced by their surroundings, activities and interests. Such applications have the potential to influence the likelihood of individuals experiencing ‘serendipity’, throu...
