Lessons from the field: usability (engineering) in regulated healthcare

Abstract Regulated healthcare settings continue to face gaps between established HCI methodology, user-centered design principles, and everyday clinical practice. Although standards and regulatory frameworks mandate usability engineering, their integration into regulated clinical...

Towards unified AI-driven fracture mechanics: the extended deep energy method (XDEM)

Abstract Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have recently emerged as powerful tools for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), with the Deep Energy Method (DEM) proving especially effective in fracture mechanics due to its energy-based formulation. Despite these adv...

A new behavioral evaluation framework for early-stage spatial optimization in high-mobility transit architecture design by applying virtual reality

Efficient wayfinding and spatial comfort are critical performance dimensions for high-mobility transit architecture, yet user-centered evaluation is rarely integrated into early-stage design workflows. This study proposes a virtual reality (VR)-driven behavioral evaluation framew...
