Designing complex systems for clinical scientists
Creating a clinical decision support system for cancer interpretation poses significant challenges. In this talk Laura and Kristof from Genomics England will share their experiences of designing for a highly specialised niche audience, navigating unconventional constraints, designing with complex data, and ultimately how they had to re-evaluate their design instincts to deliver an intuitive system that works for Clinical Scientists.

Mapping complexity talk postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Alternative tbc.
