Ergonomics

"Fit for Human Use"

Matches Task, Equipment & Work Environment with the operators Capabilities (Physique, abilities, information handling and workload capacities) and Needs (health, safety, comfort, well-being, mental stimulation, social contact & minimisation of stress) NURSES

Sometimes refered to as Human Factors or Human Centered Design

Human-Machine Interaction

Ubiquitous Computing

Clothing / Fabrics

Physical interaction Paradigms

Direct Sensors

Speech

Touch

Gesture

Diverse environments

Task Analysis

Understanding the Task & the User.

Breaking down in to interactions, task elements, sub tasks etc. Or more specifically: an action (manual) or decision (cognitive).

Anthropometry

Dynamic data collection

photographic analysis

fitting trials

Static data collection

Applying Physical Ergonomics

Stage 6 - Identify priorities

Stage 5 - Take each design feature & consider it against each level of the Hexagon model

Stage 4 - Identify Limiting Users & their needs

Stage 3 - Tasks -> Sub-tasks -> Arrange in Order -> split into Cognitive & Manual tasks

Stage 2 - Identify Tasks

Stage 1 - Identify Users

Workspace Design

Hexagon Model - Benedyk, Woodcock and Harder

external factors

work setting

workplace

workstation

operator

Upper Limb Disorders

Procrustean Approach to design states that Humans are very good at adapting to their environment

Examples: Data input operator with a deadline may ignore wrist discomfort

RSI / WRULD / CTD

Behavioural

Posture

Repitition

Anthropmetric fit

Force

Defining the target population

Users may change

permanently

aging

training

growth

temporarily

fatigue

Other users: maintainers, cleaners, assemblers etc

95th percentile

Not average User

The Limiting User

Risk & Risk Assessment

If user is affected = user costs; well-being, effectiveness & satisfaction

If system is affected = Reduction in task quality, efficiency, increased dev costs & training
