“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”

Meadows, Susan (1989): Human Factors Applications to Health Care Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. p. 1167.

“This demonstration program shows how human factors design and evaluation principles can be applied to the area of medical device and healthcare systems. The objective is to provide examples of evaluations and new designs for healthcare products which reduce human error and improve medical devices and instructional materials. International performance and design standards incorporating human factors principles are gaining more attention because of the efforts of the European medical device industry to standardize products.”

Meadows, Susan and Kelly, Richard (1989): Human Factors of Blood Glucose Monitoring. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. p. 1168.

“A study of errors associated with the use of portable blood glucose meters, completed in 1989 by the Food and Drug Administration, showed many examples where human factors principles could have an impact on the accuracy of the blood glucose values. This demonstration will show how human factors principles can be applied to the evaluation of the instruction manuals, meter design features, and interface considerations. A 12-minute video highlighting these principles and showing footage of diabetics using these meters will be presented along with mock ups of potential design features and changes in instructions that could enhance the user's ability to obtain more accurate readings. This work may have broader generic application to user error problems for all medical devices and healthcare systems.”

Meadows, Susan (1988): The Wave of Innovation for an Aging Society: Enhancing Independent Living. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. p. 184.

“"The Wave of Innovation for an Aging Society" encompasses serious concerns for all who envision an independent, healthy, and functioning society in the future. By the year 2000, one in five Americans will be over the age of 55. In order to address the challenges facing society for continued functioning, technological innovations of today must be explored as viable strategies. This panel will discuss the application of human factors principles in safety, health care, and technology toward the enhancement of work and independent living for the future.”
