Since 2005, a day in November has been reserved for celebrating World Usability Day. This is a single day of worldwide events that bring together communities for a common objective: to ensure that the services and products important to life are easier to access and simpler to use.
This year's WUD theme is “Our Health.”
Based on this year’s theme, we hope to explore systems that provide healthcare in all its many forms such as virtual/telehealth, electronic health records, healthcare products and all digital health related solutions. This theme explores timely and important issues such as continuity of care, access to treatment, telemedicine, systems for mental health, exercise, nutrition and many more. In addition, Our Health includes health problems related to environmental issues such as air and water pollution impact on health.
