Talk Summary
Developing computerized support for time- and safety-critical teamwork, such as trauma resuscitation, is very challenging. To date, it is not even clear whether computer aids should support certain individuals, the overall team, or both, and in what manner.
This talk describes a study of teamwork in trauma resuscitation and the challenges concerning access to the setting, research methodology and data analysis. Preliminary insights about where in the process and how technologies can help will also be discussed.
