In particular, I’d like to bring to your attention the fact that, for each of the three investigations presented in this issue, human factors design principles were exceptionally applied at every stage of their work. Use errors, previously known as human error or user error in the human factors literature, emphasize minimizing the user’s blame while using a medical device. In the first manuscript, Smith and Gray present a smart infusion pump design that incorporates usability engineering principles and potential use error safety mitigation strategies. The innovative pump design incorporates guidelines from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation and the International Electrotechnical Commission to reduce the risk of inadvertently harming the patient during infusion therapy. After testing the infusion pump for usability among both näıve and trained licensed health care professionals, the authors completed a use-related risk analysis on both software and hardware user interfaces. This analysis involved identifying hazards and harms, use scenario testing, task analysis, and potential use errors. The authors also explored and implemented risk control strategies. The final step of human factors validation testing demonstrated that the smart pump could be used safely without adverse use errors for infusion therapy under the expected use conditions. It is no surprise that this manuscript took first place in the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2019 Stanley Caplan User-Centered Design Competition. The utility of exoskeletons across various industries is well documented in the current ergonomics literature. However, these wearable devices’ user experience and usability in the healthcare industry are not extensively studied. The second manuscript examines Finnish nurses’ experience with exoskeletons during geriatric care. The authors, Turja et al. conducted two studies. One study involved a controlled environment in which two nurses transferred a geriatric patient from a hospital bed into a wheelchair under three experimental conditions: no nurses wearing exoskeletons; one nurse wearing an exoskeleton; and both nurses wearing an exoskeleton. Another study was conducted in a home care environment where two nurses wore the exoskeleton while transferring a patient in and out of a wheelchair and while assisting the patient during eating and toileting. For analyzing the user experience, the authors employed the unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology model and collected data on: perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust toward the device, user satisfaction, and anxiety about exoskeleton use. The study showed the significance of addressing technology acceptance by the end-user (e.g., comfort, fit, and ease of donning and doffing). Interestingly, the authors also reported on ","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133990015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We leveraged distributed communication technologies to support data collection across three separate human-computer interaction studies. We describe these studies in terms of specific computer-mediated communication methods and features and how we used them. We also present lessons learned, potential risks and detriments of using such approaches, (e.g., connectivity dependence, reduced ability to observe non-verbal cues, and diminished interpersonal interaction), along with how the research community can compensate for the shortcomings of distributed data collection in human-centered research.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128464332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were given brief tasks on two websites and presented with PRC in parallel or sequential order to describe their sentiments. We found that participants selected 25% more words in the sequential condition, including the selection of more positive words (23%). However, the sequential condition took on average 5 minutes longer to complete word selection. Therefore, it is important to understand that the PRC presentation modality can affect the quantity and the choice of vocabulary used by participants.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124765965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, design issues hamper the transformation from unattractive to aspirational products. Little effort has been done to design toilets that account for physiological differences, leading to adverse effects on user-friendliness and urine separation efficiency. We used infrared recordings to assess gender-specific urination practices. Based on field data, we developed the Urinator, a simple device that allows simulating male and female urine streams. This supports engineers in developing more user- and gender-friendly and reuse-oriented sanitation technologies.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128118467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
