This book presents the proceedings
of the 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA
2018), held on August 26-30, 2018, in Florence, Italy. By highlighting
the latest theories and models, as well as cutting-edge technologies and
applications, and by combining findings from a range of disciplines
including engineering, design, robotics, healthcare, management,
computer science, human biology and behavioral science, it provides
researchers and practitioners alike with a comprehensive, timely guide
on human factors and ergonomics. It also offers an excellent source of
innovative ideas to stimulate future discussions and developments aimed
at applying knowledge and techniques to optimize system performance,
while at the same time promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of
individuals. The proceedings include papers from researchers and
practitioners, scientists and physicians, institutional leaders,
managers and policy makers that contribute to constructing the Human
Factors and Ergonomics approach across a variety of methodologies,
domains and productive sectors.
This volume includes papers addressing Healthcare Ergonomics.
