The aim of this book is to provide "e;human engineering"e; for workplaces, tools, machinery, computers, shift work, lighting, sound, climate, work demands, offices, vehicles, healthcare, and the home - and everything else that we can produce - to suit the human body and mind.
'Crucially, this book bridges a gap in our understanding of how different societal sectors can be united to define roles, identify shared interests and devise strategies that complement progress towards more sustainable material use.
This book centres on the topic of digital twins for superior healthcare decision support, as access is enabled to large volumes of multi-dimensional data such as patient's electronic medical records, medical scans, and data.
Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Contemporary Business highlights the symbiotic relationship between human-centric approaches and organizational success in 21st century business and corporate culture.
Safety and Wearable Technology tackles the profound issue of workplace safety, as each day unacceptable numbers of workers lose their lives in accidents, with even more succumbing to work-related illnesses across the globe.
Sustainability and technological advancements are rapidly gaining traction on a global scale and are becoming increasingly prominent across a wide range of industries, as evidenced by current market trends.
As cities grow and climates change, precipitation increases, and with every great storm-from record-breaking Boston blizzards to floods in Houston-come buckets of stormwater and a deluge of problems.
Water may seem innocuous, but as a universal necessity, it inevitably intersects with politics when it comes to acquisition, control, and associated technologies.
With industrial systems becoming ever more mechanized and reliant on advanced technology, the complexity of equipment, especially in risky industries, is increasing on a daily basis.
Water may seem innocuous, but as a universal necessity, it inevitably intersects with politics when it comes to acquisition, control, and associated technologies.
From the way we interact with our workspaces to the simple act of changing a duvet cover, the world around us is shaped by design, and not always for the better.
