Catherine will also be a keynote speaker at the 202 4 HFESA Conference in Brisbane. Ryan will focus on experiences in reacting to a community driven human factors problem.  His efforts to understand the problem\, immersing directly in the situation to deepen his understand ing\, resulting design and outcomes.  Some thoughts on what the work mean t for him in his development as a Human Factors Researcher. Moses will bri ng his perspective as a health systems researcher with a focus on building systems that are responsive to the needs of vulnerable populations.  He will connect his perspective to Ryan’s work and what this perspective ca n add to human factors research.  He will discuss his own research direct ions that were part of the same project he conducted with Ryan.\n\n \; \n\nCatherine Burns\n\nCatherine M. Burns is Professor in Systems Design E ngineering at the University of Waterloo\, Canada and Associate Vice Presi dent\, Health Initiatives at the Office of Research at the University of W aterloo.  In her past administrative roles she has been engaged with inst itutional and tri agency funding programs\, research partnerships\, Waterl oo’s equity in research action plan\, and research computing.  Catherin e was the founder of the Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology at Wa terloo and led the centre from a faculty to an institutional centre over 8 years. In 2020 she chaired Waterloo’s Health Initiatives Task force to develop a health strategy in response to Waterloo’s 2025 Strategic Plan.   In her role as AVP\, Health Initiatives she is responsible for advancin g Waterloo research in health and health technology.  Catherine holds a T ier 1 Canada Research Chair in Human Factors and Healthcare Systems\, has contributed over 300 publications and is the co-author of seven books and the PI on an NSERC CREATE Training program in biomedical technology and en trepreneurship which has trained over 40 graduate students from various fa culties across campus.\n\nCatherine is well known for her work in Cognitiv e Work Analysis\, Ecological Interface Design and the development of decis ion support systems.  She is a Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Catherine’s recent research projects have been exploring the d esign of early warning systems for the detection of sepsis\, the design of predictive diagnostic systems for glaucoma detection\, and clinician driv en tools for dementia assessment.\n\n\n\n \;\n\nMoses Tetui\n\nDr. Mos es Tetui holds affiliations with both university of Waterloo in Canada (As sistant Research professor) and Umeå University in Sweden (associate prof essor). He is a health systems researcher with over 15 years of experience s. Dr. Tetui's work focuses on building responsive health systems that add ress the needs of vulnerable and underserved populations in both rural and urban settings\, with a particular emphasis on situations of social injus tice.\n\nCurrently\, Dr. Tetui is working on several critical projects\, i ncluding building confidence in vaccines\, such as COVID-19 and HPV vaccin es\, in Canada. In collaboration with Makerere University School of Public Health in Uganda\, he is also assessing the impact of COVID-19 on women's livelihoods in Uganda and its relation to their vulnerability to HIV infe ction. In the past he has worked on projects to strengthen access to contr aceptives\, maternal and neonatal health services\, strengthen health mana gement capacity and knowledge translation to mention a few.\n\nFurthermore \, Dr. Tetui is working with five African public health institutions and U meå University in Sweden to advance the conceptualization and strengtheni ng of community health systems. His work is guided by a strong commitment to inclusiveness\, equality\, and equity\, and he employs inclusive and pa rticipatory research methods to ensure that diverse voices are heard.\n\nI n the immediate future\, Dr. Tetui's work will focus on collaboratively bu ilding climate change adaptations in African cities\, including Kampala in Uganda\, Bulawayo in Zimbabwe\, and Freetown in Sierra Leone.\n\n\n\n&nbs p\;\n\nRyan Tennant\n\nRyan Tennant is a fourth-year doctoral candidate in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He holds a Bach elor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Master’s in Systems Desi gn Engineering\, both from Waterloo. Ryan’s research is primarily in the fields of healthcare\, medical\, and military systems\, applying cognitiv e engineering methods to design digital information technologies and inter faces that support complex decision-making processes. Ryan holds a Canada Graduate Scholarship from Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Rese arch Council and the Engineering Excellence Doctoral Fellowship from the U niversity of Waterloo.\n\n\n\n \;\n\nDate &\; Time\n\nMonday 30th S ept 2024\n\n19:00 - 20:30 EDT - Uni of Waterloo\, Canada\n\n \;\n\nTue sday 1st Oct 2024\n\n08:00 - 09:30         WA\n\n08:30 - 10:00          SA / NT\n\n09:00 - 10:30         Qld / NSW / Vic / Tas\n\n12:00 - 13.30         New Zealand\n\n \n\nPublished jou rnal \n\nhttps://humanfactors.jmir.org/2022/4/e39670/\n\nUnderstanding Hum an Factors Challenges on the Front Lines of Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Clin ics: Human Systems Modeling Study\n\nRyan Tennant\, Moses Tetui\, Kelly Gr indrod\, Catherine M Burns\n\nhttps://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/documen t/9963920\n\nMulti-Disciplinary Design and Implementation of a Mass Vaccin ation Clinic Mobile Application to Support Decision-Making\n\nRyan Tennant \; Moses Tetui\; Kelly Grindrod\; Catherine M Burns\n\n \;\n\nImportan t note for the watch later audience:\n\nRegister now for webinar recording if you are unable to attend the webinar live ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ergonomics.org.au/wp-content/uploads /2024/09/University-of-Waterloo.jpg CATEGORIES:Professional Development END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Australia/Melbourne X-LIC-LOCATION:Australia/Melbourne BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20240407T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1100 TZOFFSETTO:+1000 TZNAME:AEST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
