Human Factors in Pervasive Health
“There is often a considerable difference between what we think people need and what people want to use” supported and was used as moto to the 2nd WideHealth Thematic School with a focus on Human Factors in Pervasive Health, Lisbon, 2022.
Based on the lectures and hands-on activities developed during the 2nd WideHealth Thematic School, we created this online course aiming to raise awareness and provide the necessary tools to those interested in developing accessible, patient- and clinician-friendly pervasive technologies. In this course you can find lectures and activities on user-centred design, needfinding, prototyping, validation and clinical evaluation of Persavise and eHealth Technologies.
