Usability Quote of the Day

February 9, 2012

Most people who encounter computer-based automation at work do not choose the software with which they work, and have comparatively little control over when and how they do what they do. For them, the use of computers can be an oppressive experience, rather than a liberating one. -- Sarah Kuhn, Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996    (via interaction-design.org)

LifeShirt used to evaluate mood effects in athletes

"In research at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, researchers are using the LifeShirt(R) system by VivoMetrics, Inc. to assess how mood may affect the physiologic performance of athletes. The LifeShirt is an ambulatory system to monitor cardiac, pulmonary and other physiologic functions over time. It has been used to accurately measure cough in COPD patients (.pdf), perform home pediatric sleep studies (.pdf), and in research into pathology as varied as breast cancer and bipolar disease."
