Tekniikan tohtorit kehittivät menetelmän, jolla suunnittelija saa selville käyttäjän tarpeet paremmin kuin suoraan kysymällä tekniikkatalous.fi/uutiset/t… @anttisurmis @AaltoDF #empatia – at Melbourne, Victoria

Insinööri tarvitsee empatiaa ja se on vaikeampaa kuin luulet, varsinkin kun suunnittelet jollekin muulle kuin itsesi kaltaiselle. @anttisurmis ja Jie Li tietävät mitä tehdä. #työelämätaidot #tuotekehitys #empatia @AaltoDF @tekniikkatalous – at Melbourne, Victoria

Patterns of high-performing #design teams:
Conceptual design: User interactions focused on user cognition, emotions AND behaviour
Detail design: Increasingly specific user data w focus on implementation
Mediocre teams: focus on user behavior only & fail to move to implementation

We had the pleasure of hosting 2 of our researchers’ doctoral defences this week already! @anttisurmis presented his work on empathic understanding & action in #design, paving the way for creating solutions that are better able to meet user needs

Miksi julkaistut tuotteet eivät menesty?
@anttisurmis valoittaa asiaa väitöksessään empatian roolista tuotesuunnittelussa.

Empathic engineers need to know what happens inside a user’s head and research shows how that can be done accurately✨ Great work @anttisurmis, Jie Li & colleagues - and best of luck with the defence of your doctoral theses! 🌻 @AaltoDF @TechFinland100 aalto.fi/en/news/designing-w…
I’m defending my doctoral thesis on Monday Oct 24 at 12 at Aalto Design Factory! The topic is “the role of empathy in design practice”. Come watch if you’re interested.

What is sustainable design? How does sustainability guide designers’ choices? We are partnering with @AaltoDF to find out. bit.ly/3wVpPp0 @AaltoUniversity #UPM #sustainability #beyondfossils
Paper out! Coauthors and I studied usability issues in operating room technology with quali methods, and we highlight how issues are tied to contextual factors, like other practitioners, the room, and other devices. doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.202… #usability #userexperience

Taas syyllinen on hoitaja ja työnantaja. Entä laitesuunnittelu? Miten helposti mg/ml oli nähtävillä, oliko laitteessa muita varmenteita kuten poitilaan paino jne? #Inhimillinenvirhe voidaan usein välttää paremmalla laitesuunnittelulla. #tuotekehitys hs.fi/kotimaa/art-2000005959…

Stop Brainstorming! Substituting sticky note storms with sketching alone has lots of benefits ☝🏻 #leanservicecreation medium.com/digital-service-d…
