Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the scientific discipline focused on understanding the interactions between humans and the elements of a system, aiming to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. In product design, it involves creating tools, workspaces, and products that enhance user comfort, efficiency, and safety by accommodating human physical and cognitive abilities. By integrating ergonomic principles into innovation and research, designers can improve usability and reduce the risk of injury, ultimately leading to more effective and user-friendly products.
