World Usability Day 2007 will take place on November 8th with this year’s focus on healthcare. Started in 2005, the event is aimed at making “the services and products important to human life easier to access and simpler to use.”
The goals for 2007 include growing the number, size and types of the events worldwide. This includes: adding more events that not only provide education about usability, but work to effect change by taking the message to the average citizen, offering additional webcasting features that enable World Usability Day to be even more accessible and increasing the volunteers, supporters and sponsors for the event. In order to accomplish this, we need more event leaders and volunteers as part of the World Usability Day team.
Some issues that will be addressed are: new technologies, drug research, emergency disaster planning, functionality of hospitals, and much more.
