Human Factors & Ergonomics (HFE) Hub

Sharon Todd (CPE) is discussing "Driver Distraction" with Emeritus Professor Michael (Mike) Regan.
Emeritus Professor Michael (Mike) Regan, is an Emeritus Professor with the Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation (rCITI) at the University of UNSW, Sydney. Prior to that he was Professor of Human Factors at rCITI, and before that Chief Scientist-Human Factors at the Australian Road Research Board.  
Mike has BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees in Psychology and Human Factors from the Australian National University and nearly 30 years’ experience in transport human factors and road safety research - in Australia, Europe and the US. 
His key research interests include driver distraction and inattention, road user behaviour, human factors in road design and traffic engineering, vehicle human-machine interface design, and human interaction with intelligent transport systems. He is the author/co-author of around 200 peer-reviewed research documents, including 5 books, two of which are on driver distraction and inattention. 
Mike has done much to help society, globally, to prevent and mitigate the effects of driver distraction: through his research; his contributions to international committees; his advice to governments and industry; as an expert witness in courts; and in the recent provision of technical input into the development of Australia’s new technology-neutral road rules for driver distraction and Australia’s National Driver Distraction Roadmap. 
 Mike is the co-founder and co-organiser of the biennial International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention, to be held this year for the 10th time in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Road Safety and a long-standing Member (and 25th President) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia.

David Caple is discussing human factors with Professor Carayon. Professor Carayon's  research belongs to the discipline of human factors engineering, in particular macroergonomics. Her scholarly contributions aimed at modeling, assessing and improving work systems (i.e. the system of tasks performed by individuals using various technologies in a physical and organizational environment) to improve system performance, safety and worker well-being. Her research has been funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes for Health, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Department of Defense, various foundations and private industry. 
Professor Carayon is an outstanding scholar. She has published 203 scientific journal articles, 5 books, 253 conference papers and 30 technical reports, and was the Editor-in-Chief of Applied Ergonomics, a top journal in human factors and ergonomics. She is the editor of the Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care and Patient Safety, and the author of the book on Human-Centered Design for Health Care Safety.
Professor Carayon developed the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) research program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to tackle the societal problem of patient safety. 
Research expertise include:
Human Factors and Systems Engineering in Health Care and Patient Safety
Human Factors and Ergonomics; Occupational Safety and Health; Macroergonomics; Job and Organizational Design
Sociotechnical System Design and Change; Human-Centered Design.

Kath Jones the current President of the HFESA is speaking with Dr Adeola Bamgboje-Ayodele about her work in healthcare.
Dr Adeola Bamgboje-Ayodele is a user-centred designer and human factors researcher whose work bridges design, technology, and healthcare. As a Lecturer in Design and Innovation at the University of Sydney, she applies human factors, inclusive design, and HCI methods to improve the usability and real‑world impact of digital health technologies. Her interdisciplinary work has shaped how digital systems are designed and used in practice; it has led to redesigned systems in Australia’s first virtual hospital, informed policy and workflow improvements, and contributed to commercialised digital health technology. With an increasing focus on supporting priority populations, she examines how clinicians, patients, and caregivers interact with digital tools – and how these tools can better support the realities of patient work and clinical practice. Adeola serves as EMCR Co‑Chair of the IEA Healthcare Ergonomics Technical Committee and as an Associate Editor for JMIR Human Factors.
