title: Designing a tracking system based on cognitive theory of error.
abstract: We will present an application for tracking research samples that has been designed based upon prior research in cognitive theories on error that has been applied successfully to fields such as aviation and anesthesiology. By anticipating where the errors are likely to occur in the human-computer interaction and workflow, we hope to reduce number of errors and minimize the effects of inevitable errors.
