The MSU Usability & Accessibility Center and the Michigan Usability Professionals' Association (MI-UPA) are joining over 170 other locations in 35 countries to promote World Usability Day. This is also MSU's Fifth Annual Usability & Accessibility Event.
The focus for World Usability Day 2007 is healthcare. Whether it's new medical devices or technologies; drug research, approval, or delivery; patient forms or medical records sharing; emergency disaster planning; increasing the functionality of hospitals; or everyday healthcare delivery, EVERYONE is affected by usability in healthcare.
