SUMMARY:Testing times: Covid testing and human factors
DESCRIPTION:This paper considers the role of human factors in the developme
 nt and evaluation of diagnostic tests for a wholly new disease\, SARS-CoV-
 2. It charts the timeline from April 2020 to date as a small team at Imper
 ial College London shifted their research to address the global need for a
 ccurate methods of detecting the virus. It charts the pace\, politics and 
 practicalities of working at speed\, remotely and within a new national fr
 amework to deliver urgently needed results to inform policy and procuremen
 t. Every aspect of a human factors in complex sociotechnical systems came 
 under scrutiny\, alongside a need for understanding complex epidemiology\,
  modelling and research design. The paper is illustrated with some of the 
 research studies undertaken\, particularly from the care-home sector.  An
 d the challenge to improve testing is still with us.\n\n\n\nPeter Buckle i
