Medical design & health

In the course of a few years, there have been substantial changes in the healthcare market. Refunding of medical care is increasingly restricted, non-medication, off-premises care is developing and patients and professionals are becoming more demanding in terms of minimizing risks. In this context, medical manufacturers should go beyond the technological performance of systems to devise a new way of innovating in the vast field of healthcare.Ergonomics and design provide relevant methodological keys to upgrade the design process and give value to healthcare products. The expected papers should present and discuss recent evolutions in technological healthcare products and services.Watbled, Marcilly, Beuscart-Zéphir: Interest in the Ergonomic approach to design and implementation of a healthcare IT system: example of the electronic anesthetics dossier and assessment.

Sport and leisure

A ideal territory where Ergonomics and Design can come together, the Sport and Leisure sector has become a field of state-of-the-art research where results have exceeded their original framework to produce tangible repercussions in many other areas.  For example, physiology, epidemiology or pharmacology can embrace ethical issues and throw up challenges to be tackled by technology as well as design and ergonomics. Expected communications will cover all research leading to products or parts of innovative products capable of influencing other designs, ideas and outlooks opened up in the field of sport and leisure but also in their original fields and even repercussions in other areas. Nicolas Seynaeve: Mountain bike handlebar

Quality of working life

Traditionally, ergonomics has been dedicated to work and design dedicated to everyday life. Changes in the workplace and in non-working life make this paradigm obsolete and restrictive for the designer. “Professional” qualities are sought after for consumer products and advice (DIY, cooking, sport, etc.) whereas consumer products and services have become genuine work instruments while remaining personal (car, cell phone, hotel room, street café with wifi internet access, etc.). INSERM CIC-IT 807, Lille CHU Faculty of Medicine - Sylvia Pelayo & Gérald Guillemin, David Nepote-Vesino, Gambro Hospal Industries: Appropriation of New Technology: assessment of the impact of training on activity.

In daily life and at home

Everyday life covers a much more varied population than in the workplace: children, adults and elderly people whose needs, capacities and wishes are very different. In one single place - the home - there is a patchwork of products and services with different designs and from different generations, not all chosen by users. A person's daily activity is a succession of interactions with "utilitarian" products such as alarm clocks, radios, coffee machines, microwave ovens … right from the start of the day.Even after more or less long periods of time spent learning how to use each product, mistakes are made, which waste time, cause stress and sometimes even accidents. Yet everyone would like to make their home a pleasant place to live.

Transportation, urban life, accessibility to public and private areas

Ergonomists and Designers often work together on projects involving public and private transport, as products or complex systems: train, subway, tramway, bus, automobile, control rooms… The former strives to analyze operators’ or users’ needs while the latter works on the surface aspects of these products to make them more comfortable and useful… but the borders between the two are not so clear-cut!

Communications will cover methodological issues for these two communities: their cooperation in design and applied research. How can missions assigned by an end customer be developed?They will relate the intrinsic knowledge and input of original fields for their application in Transport: design of control rooms, vehicles (driving station, passenger space), innovative or standard products (interactive terminals, etc.), driving support systems, integration of cognitive driving aspects for the design of the controls of an automatic vehicle, guidance and accessibility of disabled people to transport, etc. Soizick Berthelot: Contribution of ergonomics to product design - Application to the aircraft seat. Jairo José Drummond Câmara: Ergonomics in a competition vehicle: a Brazilian approach to design.Foot Robin, Paris Est University, LATTS & Ghislaine Doniol-Shaw Ghislaine, Paris Est University, LATTS, UMR CNRS 8134: Ergonomics vs. Design or is the Driver a User?
