Peter leads Healthcare Human Factors’ global work. In this role he not only has the pleasure of overseeing usability evaluations and comparative research, but also gets to bring together tight teams to solve all manner of complex problems both in Toronto and abroad. He has a BEng in Aerospace Engineering specializing in space systems design and MHSc in Clinical Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toronto, where his research focussed on the evaluator effect in heuristic evaluation. He is keenly interested in user experience, patient safety and resilient systems in healthcare.

His work at HHF includes the design of systems for bridging cancer research and care and for complex care that allow patients, caregivers, and health care providers to communicate and build a shared team awareness across disciplinary and institutional boundaries; rigorous comparative evaluations of a range of medical devices, products, and services; and the design and evaluation of medical devices that not only satisfy regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA 510(k), IEC62366), but that bring healthcare, technology, and people together in ways that are safe, effective, and even fun!
