Sketches I drew on a recent trip to a hospital

Some of these won't make much sense without commentary, but there are some that show clearly positions of electrodes on the body, how cables are sometimes stored and how hands may operate and untangle them.

Prep for expert interview

I am currently preparing my final questions for my expert interview tomorrow.  Although I am considering my questions, I believe it is important to keep things loose, questions will be answered and transformed, I may suddenly think of a question tomorrow that is relevant and have to shoe horn it into the conversation.

The thing is to keep the momentum of the conversation light and engaging.

In other news I found an interesting cable solutions company to speak to.

I also need to speak to buildings and estates at Ninewells as soon as possible.

Materials to use in making cultural probe

I am going to build a cultural probe, which is essentially a mockup of an ecg machine.  Staff and patients will be able to interact with it how they please, they can manipulate it by drawing on it, writing on it, turning it upside down, the results should be quite interesting.  I also plan to involve people who have never had an experience with an ecg machine before.  The pictures show a rough idea of what's to be built and some of the materials involved.  There are clips for electrodes on ecg machines so I am using clothes pegs and industrial type clamps to simulate these, people can then clip notes or other things to them, expressing their thoughts and opinions.

The pictures show rough sketches and materials to be used.
