The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is co-chairing the upcoming conference - Living Rooms: Human Factors and Industrial Design Contributions to the Home as a Health Care Venue.
More detailed information and registration is forthcoming. As of now, the goals of the conference include:
- to facilitate interaction between human factors researchers/designers and industrial designers, and encourage them to explore further the potential synergism in their collaboration, and
- to raise attendees' awareness regarding the impending crisis in home health care and the role they can play in designing better home-based health care systems.
