Exploring the many approaches and issues involved in developing technologies for wellbeing---from including environmental concerns to building long-lasting, transdisciplinary partnerships both inside beyond academy.

During the last 2 decades, the effects of the physical and social environment on the healing process, recovery and well-being of patients, families and staff in hospitals have been proved.There is a growing recognition that healthcare architecture could do more by promoting overall wellness, and this requires expanding the focus to healing.The research on evidence-based design (EBD) has demonst...

background and purpose: two important clinical education methods are problem-based and student-centered. however, education of “clinical decision-making skills” and “application of clinical knowledge” is important. usually training these cases is done in small groups . in this study, new method of scientific textbooks with four factors mentioned above has been implemented in large education gro...

This paper argues for a model-driven framework for integrating human interface engineering with software engineering. The usage-centered design process, a robust and proven process grounded in software engineering, is briefly described and contrasted with traditional user-centered approaches. The connections between the core models of usage-centered design and their software engineering counter...

This chapter emphasizes user-centered design as the essential process for developing usable systems. User-centered design tries to strengthen the creative aspects of user interface design. However, this does not fit very well with the more structured, architecture-centered nature of object-oriented development methodologies. Several problems associated with object-oriented techniques have been ...

Ictus supports the study and preparation of musical scores by semi-novice conductors. It does so by representing the complex analytical processes in which professional conductors routinely engage. Through iterative design and prototyping and with feedback from expert conductors, we have developed a prototyped system for use as a learning tool. This paper presents a brief overview of the complex...
