Human-Computer Interaction (SIT22008)

HCI quotes

“Technology serves humans. Humans do not serve technology.” - Joshua Porter “Get closer than ever to your customers. So close that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves.” - Steve Jobs

4. Healthcare & Safety

See what kinds of ICT services help people living healthy and safe. Find how computers interact with people in hospital or in which people want to have a medical care.

Try to keep thinking the detailed (= decomposited) interactions between humans and computers, especially in a medical/healthcare or safety-care processes.

While watching videos, try to think about what analog medical/healthcare/safety-related works could be digitally transformed; what human-centered services we might need in the near future. Please do NOT focus on the technology itself. HCI is more than technologies.

Subtopics

[Video Lectures]

A. Emerging Healthcare Techs & HCI

Robot techs are getting important, especially in medical/healthcare/safety areas. Let’s see how robots can help people in medical or healthcare procedures. Also, think about HRI (human-robot interaction), which is one of the specific areas of HCI.




B. COVID-19 & HCI

Okay, we understand the medical/healthcare technologies are suddenly boosting during the pandemic. HOWEVER, what about the interactions? Who cares interactions? The HCI should care about human and their thinking, behaviors, and emotions, but when the technology is developed, the HCI is not enough considered, so that many techs become failed as it is unsatisfied to use.




C. Special Care




D. Safety Techs & HCI




E. Future Scenarios

Try to focus on futuristic ‘interactions’ and ‘interfaces’ from the videos.
