Professor Ann Blandford

I have a first degree in Maths and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. My research is now in the area of Human–Computer Interaction: on how to reason about the design and deployment of interactive technologies, particularly in healthcare.

I lead an EPSRC Programme Grant (CHI+MED) which is developing modelling methods for improving the safety of interactive medical devices that are widely used, such as infusion pumps, vital signs monitors, defibrillators, etc. Within this, my particular expertise is in modelling the situations of use of such technologies.
