DHM: International Conference on Digital Human Modeling
2007-
In 2013, called Digital Human Modeling and Applications in Health, Safety, Ergonomics, and Risk Management
Held as part of the HCI International Conference
Summary: Computer-based applications support improvements in healthcare, ergonomics,
health and safety, risk management and sustainability. Such applications and
related research developments are particularly welcome within this thematic
area. Many of these are later more formally developed into predictive human
models with epidemiology and economic justification. Special sessions, panels
and forums will emphasize outcomes in safety, environment and health,
including product fit, biomechanics, industrial ecology, work design, patient
safety, healthcare information technology, transportation human factors,
population health and technology-society interaction.
Predictive capabilities of human behavior and performance in complex
situations can facilitate design and evaluation of products and technologies.
Models may include the physical, cognitive, organizational, social,
environmental and emotional aspects of human beings and of particular
populations. The research is intended to enable human factors and ergonomics
to be considered earlier in the design process, reduce the need for physical
prototyping of devices and systems, improve safety, health and time-to-market.
An international forum will be provided for the dissemination and exchange of
scientific information on theoretical, generic, and applied issues of
modeling, including mathematical and visualization issues.
