Design for Health: Applications of Human Factors

Editat de Arathi Sethumadhavan, Farzan Sasangohar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2020
Design for Health: Applications of Human Factors delves into critical and emergent issues in healthcare and patient safety and how the field of human factors and ergonomics play a role in this domain. The book uses the Design for X (DfX) methodology to discuss a wide range of contexts, technologies, and population dependent criteria (X’s) that must be considered in the design of a safe and usable healthcare ecosystem. Each chapter discusses a specific topic (e.g., mHealth, medical devices, emergency response, global health, etc.), reviews the concept, and presents a case study that demonstrates how human factors techniques and principles are utilized for the design, evaluation or improvements to specific tools, devices, and technologies (Section 1), healthcare systems and environments (Section 2), and applications to special populations (Section 3).
The book represents an essential resource for researchers in academia as well as practitioners in medical device industries, consumer IT, and hospital settings. It covers a range of topics from medication reconciliation to self-care to the artificial heart.


  • Uses the Design for X (DfX) methodology
  • A case study approach provides practical examples for operationalization of key human factors principles and guidelines
  • Provides specific design guidelines for a wide range of topics including resilience, stress and fatigue management, and emerging technologies
  • Examines special populations, such as the elderly and the underserved
  • Brings a multidisciplinary, multi-industry approach to a wide range of healthcare human factors issues

Recenzii

"Having the capacity to cover topics ranging from medication reconciliation all the way to self-care of the artificial heart is an ambitious goal. I believe this tightly written volume offers a lot to readers tasked with both design and evaluation of health-relevant systems." --Doody
"No doubt, the new focus on the design of health care systems has been given a kick in the pants due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout 2020 and 2021, we have learned lessons about the emergency use and the adequacy of old and new medical equipment (e.g., use of facial masks, shields, gowns, other personal protective equipment, ventilators, etc.) and infection protection, protective care procedures for hospital patients and staff, developing quarantines, handling of patients in new and different ways, and so forth. This book is a must for anyone involved in design or implementation of health care systems in our country and globally." --Gerald P. Krueger, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, October 2021
"This book is the rare example of fundamental academic literature paired with practitioner-oriented advice. Topics cover the spectrum of designing for health, from consideration of devices and systems to the individual needs of patients and healthcare providers. Each chapter contains a case study written by an expert in the field that is engaging and brings the research to life. Sethumadhavan and Sasangohar, with their many years of experience in design for health, have brought together an impressive group of scientists to create a cohesive and approachable book for researchers, designers, human factors practitioners, and healthcare professionals." --Anne Collins McLaughlin, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Psychology, North Carolina State University
"This book illustrates how practitioners and researchers have used the human factors approach to solve problems at different levels of the health care system. The case study format used in the book provides a very unique and inside-perspective on the challenges involved in healthcare and how they were addressed. Each chapter clearly illustrates how the human factors approach can adapt to address different issues, populations, and systems. Ranging from issues encountered from consumer-oriented perspective up to the health care system itself, the book is a valuable and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in creative applications of human factors to complex problems." --Richard Pak, Professor, Clemson University
