Abstract

The article starts with an observation of the transformations in the healthcare sector that introduce the inclusion of other disciplines into the field. It then proceeds with defining the research problem as the one related to the issues around the interaction between a person and medical devices. The analysis of the discipline of Cognitive Ergonomics allows approaching the problem and ends up with a set of ‘features’ that represent the components needed for analyzing the system, the interactions performed and cognitive processes involved. Eventually, the ‘features’ were grouped in a proposal of a sequence of ‘design-actions’ together with some adjustments typical for the sector needed to design an efficient and comfortable interaction with medical devices.
