Background: The quest to increase safety awareness, make job sites safer, and promote decent work for all has led the utilization of digital technologies in hazardous occupations. This study investigated use innovations health management industries. key challenges recommendations associated with such were also explored. Method: Using Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, a total 48 studies reviewed provide framework future pathways effective...
Patients in Canada and Scotland were asked to complete a pre-operative questionnaire examining their desire for information relating anaesthesia. In both Scotland, patients under the age of 50 years had greater wish receive than those who older (p less 0.0001). Canada, female found be more keen males same group 0.05). The priority given individual pieces was remarkably similar countries. Details dangerous complications anaesthesia surgery consistently rated low priority, with high going...
Abstract This study explored the effectiveness of outbreak data dashboards in presenting relevant information during global health emergencies using mouse-tracking measures. Firstly, several problems visual design and layout dashboard were identified by analyzing path, mouse-movements clicks made users when dashboard. Secondly, suggestions on process how used their collected through user feedback follow-up interviews experimental process. The results provide insights into user-centered...
Summary A double‐blind randomised study of 48 patients in whom continuous subcutaneous infusion and regular intramuscular injection morphine were compared as analgesic regimens after upper abdominal surgery, is described. Over a 48‐hour period, no difference pain intensity between the two groups was found by comparing linear analogue scores, assessments on four‐point rank scale, peak expiratory flow rates or requirement for additional analgesia. Nausea sedation assessed using scale. These...
Examinations are conventionally used to measure candidates' achievement in a limited time period. However, the influence of text layout on performance may compromise construct validity examination. An experimental study looked at effects speed and accuracy reading task an examination‐type situation. A survey strategies examinations was conducted help defining context which have effect. set guidelines also derived from research typographic features these were select three layouts (intended be...
Abstract Aim Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to optimize through a series of evidence‐based recommendations. A key component ERAS is the provision patient education. Whilst recommendation for this strong, evidence inform its format, timing and delivery unclear. The review was describe previous educational interventions used improve colorectal explore opportunities future research. Methods systematic scoping performed. MEDLINE Embase databases were searched between 1...

Abstract Infographics are becoming a common tool in the communication of public-health information. However, research-based resources how to create effective infographics rare. The application design principles creation has been shown more effectively communicate Here, research explores adherence 84 infographic on 3 designs varying levels application. A multi-method approach, including eye-tracking, was used record information location efficiency, memorability and user perception. Support...
After watching the results from electronic meeting systems (EMS) use in business arena, educators are beginning to look at EMS as a tool for group learning. Many of initial educational uses have been focused university level, and only few school put technology public schools. The University Arizona's GroupSystems was installed local Tucson high academic year 1994-1995. A junior-level English class it variety tasks. These included prewriting brainstorming, answering lecture questions, writing...
Abstract Aim The provision of information to patients is an important part recovery after colorectal surgery. This study aimed define patient needs, barriers effective understanding and insights into how may be improved. Method A focus group was convened. comprised a broad, convenience sample 11 participants from across the United Kingdom with experience major semistructured topic guide used facilitate discussion about previous experiences this Data were analysed thematically are presented...
The present paper reports three experiments investigating the effect typographic design of examination materials has on performance. Significant differences in performance were always found all experiments. These favour text and/or question and answer sheet layouts conforming to legibility guidelines. Participants also considered questions with these easy answer. main conclusion was that displaying a combination features intended improve facilitate efficient search reading answering at...
University years are a critical period for weight gain primarily due to unhealthy changes in eating behavior students. This is the first study focus on impact of tailored information design approaches awareness and retention obesity related information, specifically by university A motion graphics was developed through comprehensive user-centered research process that involved scoping (observation, questionnaire group), usability testing (five stages iteration), performance test. The results...
Abstract Information design principles are overlooked in cyber security awareness websites. An Design Process Model has been devised to help frame and interpret how online information is processed the role play facilitating that processing. Two websites have compared, results show significant differences terms of performance, behavior perception. The also situations where serious at stake, such as security, a more accessible does not seem be sufficient project sense trust among users. All...
Effective communication of information is essential to intelligence work. This paper identifies the main obstacles good communication: policy-related challenges; cognitive impediments; resource limitations; cultural and structural issues within communities; technical information. To illustrate, it examines four cases when poor contributed shortcomings. Via questionnaire document survey, study current state practice in UK communities. The survey visualization documents currently use revealed...
Abstract Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly occurring cancers in world, and colonoscopy sensitive procedure to detect it. Colonoscopy success depends on quality bowel preparation, yet way information designed communicated patients does not meet their needs. By considering how conveyed through three different outputs (booklet, motion graphics app), this study investigates advantages using visualised when communicating preparation instructions for screening. A user-centered...
Abstract This study investigates the legibility of China’s high-speed railway map through eye-tracking measurement. The information searching process was identified by conducting: (1) Scoping stage – a user performance test and interview to inform design study; (2) In-depth an study. A number visual problems with have been identified. research explores user-centered solutions provides detailed guidance for transit maps. It also demonstrates that is effective method evaluating quality as it...
Abstract Colorectal surgery is a common procedure for bowel cancer, with communication of information playing key role in patient preparation and recovery. Previous research has shown that e-health tools are effective many medical contexts. With this mind, an interactive app was developed using iterative user-centred design process multi-methods approach. The aim to enhance between patients staff empower throughout their Results showed the superiority mobile communicating when compared...
Abstract The ability to accurately write Chinese characters is vital for those learning as a second language, and writing components an indispensable part of characters. This study investigates how Visual Instructions (VIs) influence the effectiveness by beginners. First, visual survey was conducted explore various formats currently used instructing Chinese. Then, VIs practice recall examined. results showed that arrows color hints in stroke-by-stroke significantly increased both recall.
