Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:
Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen01:14

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...
Design Example01:23

Design Example

The innovation of touch-tone telephony revolutionized the telecommunications industry by replacing the traditional rotary dial with a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling system. This system uses a matrix-style keypad with buttons arranged in four rows and three columns, creating 12 distinct signals each assigned to a pair of frequencies. Each button press results in a simultaneous generation of two sinusoidal tones – one from a low-frequency group (697 to 941 Hz) and one from a...
Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key aspect...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point served as...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Office workers face occupational health risks such as prolonged sedentary behavior, postural strain, elevated heart rate, and noise exposure.
  • Objective and continuous monitoring of these workplace health risks is currently uncommon.
  • Wearable technology offers potential for objective health monitoring in occupational settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To co-design occupational health visualizations using smartphone and smartwatch data.
  • To involve a multi-stakeholder group, including office workers and occupational health professionals, in the design process.
  • To translate stakeholder requirements into technically feasible and interpretable visualization outputs.

Main Methods:

  • A generative co-design framework was employed, including a pre-design field study, questionnaire, and a multi-stakeholder workshop.
  • Thematic analysis was used to identify key occupational health themes from workshop data.
  • Technical feasibility of proposed visualizations was assessed against smartphone and smartwatch sensing capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Seventeen occupational health themes were identified, with most proposed visualization elements deemed technically feasible using sensor data.
  • Visualizations for physical activity, heart rate, environmental noise, and postural load were developed using Python and real-world data.
  • Follow-up evaluations confirmed the developed visualizations were interpretable and met stakeholder expectations.

Conclusions:

  • The generative co-design framework is suitable for developing occupational health visualizations.
  • Smartphone and smartwatch data can be effectively utilized to create interpretable visualizations of workplace health risks.
  • Co-design involving end-users and professionals leads to practical and relevant occupational health monitoring tools.
