Join us on Oct 11th! We will expound upon diverse aspects of usability in health care in a series of 10-minute talks at our monthly UPA MN event.
This ties-in with the theme of this year's World Usability Day, which will focus on healthcare. From the WUD website: Whether it's new medical devices or technologies; drug research,approval, or delivery; patient forms or medical record sharing;emergency disaster planning; increasing the functionality of hospitals; or everyday healthcare delivery, EVERYONE is affected by usability in healthcare.
So come out to hear and share health & wellness experiences you orothers have had, projects that have done, products and services, and how they relate to the usability of health care and wellness support.
RSVP for this event by Monday, Oct 8th- email to rsvp@upamn.org. See you on October 11th!
