interaction design and user experience (UX) principles can be applied to better support clinical decision-making. I will frame the ED not just as a workplace, but as a system of “Distributed Cognition”, where the interface acts as a vital mediating artifact in the decision-making process. The aim is to produce evidence-based design guidelines for interfaces operating in time-critical, high cognitive load contexts.
