Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Significant advances in information technology have occurred since the beginning of the new artificial intelligence (AI) era, affecting many aspects of human existence, including work and daily activities. The extensive use of computer devices and software has resulted in faster access to a wide range of data, improved information processing, and automated production processes. However, greater connection with electronic gadgets may pose health hazards in terms of physiological, psychological, and social factors. This Special Issue intends to address these health issues using methodologies and techniques applying AI and human–computer interaction, ergonomics, and health.
In addition to physical concerns, the area of workplace ergonomics and safety has developed to incorporate cognitive and psychosocial components. Cognitive burden, mental health, and psychosocial problems have all been popular research topics. Given the potential consequences, prevention techniques for both physical and cognitive safety and health issues are critical.
The Special Issue welcomes articles on various research areas, such as risk assessment, workplace safety and health, safety culture, work performance, ageing workforce, organizational safety, human–system interface, work environments, human–computer interaction and ergonomics and health and wearable technology.
