Living Rooms: Human Factors and Industrial Design Contributions to the Home as a Health Care Venue.
Cochaired by both HFES and IDSA, this collaborative conference was based on the premise that the home will become a vital health care venue over the next 15-20 years as Baby Boomers grow older and put increased strain on the medical system. It brought together human factors practitioners and industrial designers to examine, discuss, and interact with one another about how to design products and homes that meet these needs.
