Project Description
Gillian Hayes, Kleist Professor of Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, will present a webinar on “HCI and Design for Healthcare Researchers and Practitioners” at 1 p.m. CT on Thursday, March 16.
About the webinar: Technological systems are increasingly essential to healthcare, but these systems are often unusable and inefficient. Human-Computer Interaction, the study of how humans and technologies interact, provides a variety of theories and methods that can be usefully deployed in improving the design, development, and evaluation of health technologies. In this talk, I will provide an overview of HCI and design with pointers to additional resources for those who desire more study.
