ETHICS IN HCI
Information technology help improve diagnostic accuracy, make information more accessible, and can improve the representation of facts in medical
records. However, with the everywhereness of technology embedded throughout our world and the robust forms of technology being used, ethical
considerations for HCI are becoming paramount. For instance, consider the example of designing for mobile platforms,
Three main problems areas of design have been proposed for these types of devices including use of:

screen space

interaction mechanisms,

and design of mobile user interfaces
Explanation: So, Designers assume great responsibility to address these problems by designing in solutions that optimize use of these platforms,
while minimizing potential pitfalls of Human Computer Interation design problems.
Cont.
Mobile healthcare platforms, such as telemonitoring equipment, Web-based support systems, or bedside clinical decision support systems.
Explanation: So, dito parang nakatulong sa mga frontline nurses ang mga equipment/systems na ito para ma-manage yung critical symptom
changes ng patient (s).
Con.t
Designers assume an ethical responsibility to test these platforms using HCI methods not only in controlled settings during early stages of
development life cycles but also at periods of implementation in the field where unintended consequences can occur.
Ethics for Aging in Place Technologies
The sensor technologies being used at TigerPlace have been incorporated into the living environments of residents choosing to age in place at this
facility. Future use of these sensors includes possible interactions with other types of users, such as families, physicians, nurses. So, their input into
the development of this technology is critical during all stages of development and implementation.
In order to meet ethical obligations to the public who will eventually use these sensor systems, the design team incorporated multiple HCI
methodologies to examine user’s perceptions of the interface and to examine the functionality of the interface.
Explanation:
So, dito parang gumagamit sila ng software para mag conduct ng assessments that were electronically documented with usability software, called
Morae. By this usability assessments identified potential problem areas encountered during interactions for each user type. Again, these findings
were used by software designers to improve the functionality, aesthetics, and appearance of the sensor interface. Usability methodologies are
important to meet ethical obligations of software design.
