Chapter
Medical devices in the United States were exempt from any accessibility requirements until 2017, when the U.S. Access Board issued its Final Rule on medical device accessibility. This presentation will discuss how the American journey to address medical device accessibility problems proceeded from about 2004 until the final regulation was issued. L...
Article
Have you ever wondered about HF/E standards – what they address, how to access them, how they are developed, and how they can help you in your job or research? Given the enhanced HFES focus on getting research into practice and how the desire for achieving that goal could affect the author instructions for HFES publications, this is a critical topi...

FEATURE AT A GLANCE: Access to health care requires more than mere access to a health care facility. It requires access to medical equipment and devices. Currently, many older adults and people with disabilities have difficulty accessing medical equipment, including examination chairs and tables, weight scales, and exercise and rehabilitation equip...

Auditory signals are often used in human-machine interfaces of electric consumer products to inform the user of the state of operation. The signals are expected to enhance the usability of products, especially for older adults who are not accustomed to using such products. Kurakata et al. [Acoust. Sci. and Tech., 29, 176-184 (2008)] reported experi...

The waters of forensics practice, from this editor's perspective, are simply too murky to play in
Article
This article reviews progress in the development of standards and guidelines for software accessibility, including those developed within international and US standards bodies. Key factors driving efforts to identify and define effective design guidelines for software accessibility include demographic trends and the graying population, new legislat...
Article
Ergonomics researchers investigate musculoskeletal problems in an occupation largely ignored by lifting standards.
Article
Evidence from past studies supports the proposition that air ambulance crews are at risk for musculoskeletal injury. We evaluated the association between musculoskeletal discomfort and lifting tasks in air ambulance crews, through the use of a body map discomfort survey and a 25-question demographic/lifting activities questionnaire. Male and female...
Chapter
Although guidelines and standards have been developed for the design of the user interface for interactive voice response (IVR) applications, most of these documents consider only menu-driven, touch-tone-based IVR application designs with little, if any, attention being given to IVR systems that employ speech recognition and/or natural language dia...
Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to explore some of the current issues facing speech technologies as a whole, including the internationalization of applications, portability of technologies, and application and system integration. Usability issues for speech recognition on the desktop are also considered.
Book
Human Factors and Voice Interactive Systems highlights the importance of human factors in speech technologies and presents and demonstrates the use of human factors, principles, methods, techniques, and tools in the design of speech-enabled applications. Included is coverage of automatic speech recognition, synthetic speech, and interactive voice r...
Article
While interactive voice response (IVR) systems were rapidly making their way into the workplace, speech scientists were working hard to improve the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to foster their acceptance among potential customers. In the last five years, great strides have been made in this regard, and the commercial us...
Article
The authors have developed a curriculum in medical informatics that focuses on practical problems in clinical medicine, rather than on the details of informatics technologies. Their development of this human-centered curriculum was guided by the identification of six key clinical challenges that must be addressed by practitioners in the near future...
Article
The purpose of this paper is to describe a human factors-based course in computers and medicine that has been developed by faculty at the Michigan State University/Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies. This course is targeted at medical students and resident physicians in primary care, but easily could be adapted for use as a graduate-level course...
Article
With use of data culled from twenty studies, members of the Prevalence and Natural History Committee of the Scoliosis Research Society conducted a meta-analysis of 1910 patients who had been managed with bracing (1459 patients), lateral electrical surface stimulation (322 patients), or observation (129 patients) because of idiopathic scoliosis. Thr...
Article
This panel session addresses the concern that undergraduate education in human factors has not been utilized or marketed effectively. Specifically, the panelists propose that an undergraduate course or program is a means by which to inform people about the human factors area, to prepare undergraduate students for employment with a bachelors degree,...
Article
Sometimes EID readers provide valuable tips that lead to articles like the one you're about to read. In this case, the credit goes to Richard Hornick, who sent me a copy of a brief article from the AARP Bulletin discussing the problem of iatrogenic complications. This, in turn, led me to contact Dr. Lowell Levin, professor of public health at the Y...
Article
The purpose of this paper is to present a case for the development of a user interface design guideline or standard for interactive voice response applications, to be widely disseminated throughout business and industry. A number of sample problems are cited, based on the author's consulting experience in this area, which serve to demonstrate that...
Article
Airway facilities maintenance has been a neglected area of human factors R&D until recently. The National Plan for Aviation Human Factors, however, specifically mandates that the needs of aircraft and airway facility maintainers, as well as pilots and controllers, be addressed in the design and operation of new systems. The purpose of this paper is...
Article
The purpose of the present study was to assess the degree to which smokers and nonsmokers can recall warning information about the hazards of smoking, as a function of message context, time and gender. Subjects were presented with printed messages, advertisements, or cigarette packs containing the four currently used warnings. Recall of the message...
Article
Two independent studies, each employing 12 subjects sitting in a stationary car on an unused airport runway with low beams on, were conducted to determine the distance at which a shape coded, reflectorized warning plate can be recognized at night as a function of target brightness. Recognition distances were recorded for a balanced combination of 1...
Article
During the first eight months of 1987, the author had the opportunity to visit Sweden and Norway. Since Sweden is noted as a leader with respect to occupational safety and health practices, and is also well known for its innovations in the utilization of technology, the author decided to spend some time studying safety issues and answers with regar...
Article
The purpose of this paper is to present a comparison of mouse, keyboard and voice inputs to a complex map database query system. The system, developed at FOA 53 in Linköping, Sweden, is a multi-purpose one; the particular application involved here is one developed for monitoring water traffic on Lake Vättern. In a 4 − 2 within-subjects design, thro...

Question
I recently had a bout with shingles - which, among other things, can cause permanent nerve problems. Although there is a vaccine (which I didn't even know about) that prevents shingles, insurance will not cover it until a person reaches the age of 60. I am under the age of 60 (58), and know quite a few people under the age of 60 who have gotten shingles. Does anyone know the reasoning behind the age 60 requirement (is there a medical reason?) or why the shingles vaccine is not advertised more, given that one in three (or one in five, depending on who you read) people are going to get this at some point in the their later years? Doctors push so much other screening, etc., why not this, when it can be debilitating, very painful, and is preventable?
