Ergonomics Importance of Wearable Medical Devices
Journal Title: Ergonomics International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Medical technologies directly related to human and developed for diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases, are one of the most important issues of today. In order to prevent the various problems that arise with the increase of the human population, researchers are trying to give mobility to these technologies. Wearable medical devices are being developed for this purpose. In this study, the ergonomic importance of wearable medical devices in the literature is briefly summarized.
