Högskolan i Skövde

During the spring semester of 2018 a product development project has been carried out at the University of Skövde by two Design Engineering Students, Pontus Rang-Roslun, and Guillermo Munguía Velazquez, in cooperation with the project group for Smart Textiles for Sustainable Work Life at the University of Skövde as they are now focusing to develop a web-based software for ergonomists and work leaders/coaches. The aim of the project is to design the interface for the software.

The project carried out literature review focused on basic principles of usability, cognition, user interaction, human-computer interaction, user experience and ergonomic evaluation methods. In order to uncover user needs, interviews and observations were performed, and inputs and outputs of the management information were analyzed. Based on the gathered information, concepts were generated and evaluated through formative evaluation. The final iteration brought a flexible and usable interface for ergonomic evaluations
