Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr William (Bill) Marras - Back Injuries and Muscle Co-activation
Q: Is there a spinal or back-pain motion signature? Tell me about that.
Motion signature is the unique pattern of how a person moves, including acceleration, deceleration, velocities, and range; these patterns help distinguish between those with and without back pain and guide where to look for underlying biomechanical or psychosocial factors.
Dr Adeola Bamgboje-Ayodele - Virtual Digital Technologies
Q: What advice would you give to other researchers about integrating design earlier in the technology lifecycle?
Embed inclusive, iterative design from the outset, engage diverse consumer groups continually, and avoid retrofitting solutions later, as proactive co-design reduces cost and increases the likelihood of success.
Dr Adeola Bamgboje-Ayodele - Virtual Digital Technologies
Q: Could you share how your work on virtual triage and detecting deterioration in virtual care has influenced actual service designs in health districts?
The work highlighted work system barriers and facilitators, leading to workflow changes, tool refinements, and stronger collaboration with clinicians, IT staff, patients, and caregivers to ensure that virtual care supports safe and effective practice.
Dr Adeola Bamgboje-Ayodele - Virtual Digital Technologies
Q: What are the biggest challenges you see when applying these technologies to priority populations, such as CALD groups and older adults?
The challenges go beyond language; culturally responsive and sensitive design must address how care is delivered, who is involved, and the real-world contexts in which technology is used, including preferences about gender and delivery methods.
Dr Adeola Bamgboje-Ayodele - Virtual Digital Technologies
Q: Adeola, your research has provided essential insights into usability, workflow alignment, cognitive demands of virtual technologies, and your work led to the IEA Kingfarr ECR Award. Can you describe how your computer science background informs your approach to human factors in health tech?
My interdisciplinary path shows that usability and workflow considerations span both HCI and health contexts; by bridging design, technology, and clinical settings, I design digital health tools that are usable, context-aware, and better adopted by clinicians and patients alike.
