Reducing Inequalities Through Sustainable Digital Design: Assistive Technology Development for SDG 3 and SDG 10

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to appropriate assistive technologies (AT) remains a major barrier to health, well‐being, and social inclusion, particularly among vulnerable and marginalised populations. Addressing this challenge is central to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well‐being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

Ergonomics & Human factors: fade of a discipline

Ergonomics
In this commentary, we argue that the field of Ergonomics and Human Factors (EHF) has the tendency to present itself as a thriving and impactful science, while in reality, it is losing credibility. We assert that EHF science (1) has introduced terminology that is internally inconsistent and hardly predictive-valid, (2) has virtually no impact on ...

Mineworkers' Perspectives on Whole‐Body Vibration Exposures in the Ghanaian Mining Industry

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across most industries, there appears to be greater commitment to occupational safety than to occupational health, largely because safety effects are readily observable, whereas health effects are hard to notice, as they take prolonged exposure to become apparent.

Study on Classification and Detection of Operational Fatigue in Deep‐Well Mining Truck Drivers Based on GSWOA‐LSSVM

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effectively detecting the operational fatigue of miners can identify safety risks in mines. As the executors of auxiliary transportation in mines, the operational fatigue status of mining truck drivers deserves particular attention and detection.

A Model Based Systems Engineering Framework for Digital Twins in Medical Device Innovation

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medical device development remains constrained by development processes centered largely in the physical domain. These methods limited early understanding of system behavior and prolonged timelines relative to other innovation pathways. Such limitations increase prototype cycle duration and the number of iterations required to resolve design ...
