Design guidelines for safety-critical controllers in high-risk environments

该项目旨在生成新的产品设计指南，用于开发更安全的控制器，供处于高风险情况下的潜在压力个体使用。它将通过生成具体的见解和验证来自全人工心脏接受者的可推广的解决方案来实现这一目标-这些接受者必须不断与关键控制器进行接触。该项目希望通过围绕一个未被充分研究的用户群体建立一个新的研究主题来产生新的设计知识。该项目的预期成果包括交互设计理论的发展和改进的控制器设计技术。这应该通过降低压力和提高各种环境下的安全性来提供显着的好处和竞争优势。

This project aims to generate novel product design guidelines for developing safer controllers for use by potentially stressed individuals in high-risk situations. It will do this by generating specific insights and verifying generalisable solutions from the context of total artificial heart recipients –who must engage with critical controllers constantly. This project expects to generate new knowledge in design by establishing a new research topic around an under-examined user cohort. Expected outcomes of this project include interaction design theory developments and improved controller design techniques. This should provide significant benefits and competitive advantages by lowering stress and improving safety across a range of contexts.
