Over the past half century information technologies and devices have been associated with improved individual safety and societal safety; for example, ePrescribing systems have reduced the number of medication errors made by physicians, aviation systems have prevented plane crashes from turbulent weather conditions and pedestrian and cyclist detection systems can trigger automatic emergency braking systems being developed for autonomous vehicles.  In this issue of Knowledge Management and eLearning we focus on research in the areas of knowledge creation, translation and mobilization of information technologies and devices that are currently being developed for and integrated into modern day society, including: health care, public health, transportation, power generation, manufacturing etc.  Authors are invited to submit papers that may include the following topics of interest as well as others:

 

  • Decision support for system safety
  • Safety Incident Reporting systems
  • ePrescribing systems
  • Medication reconciliation systems
  • Aircraft simulation safety system
  • Safety eLearning Systems
  • Citizen automobile driver support systems to avoid collisions with other vehicles
  • Decision support systems for nuclear power plants
  • Safety systems to prevent accidents in manufacturing plants
  • Dashboards to support recognition and monitoring of safety events
  • Interactions between citizen information safety and security
  • Downtime management to ensure safety of citizens, infrastructure and society
  • Occupational Health and Safety Monitoring Systems
  • Online training for safety in the home, community or workplace

 

Authors working in safety science across industries are encouraged to submit papers on new advances in safety science research, knowledge translation and mobilization.
