Overall subject:
The subject of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners of several disciplines working on concepts to enable the transition of European societies towards healthy and active life.
The health care systems in the European regions are in transition. A wise integration of innovative processes in primary care, competence improvement strategies and the use of technology will be the key for a successful implementation of a demanding change.
Together with partners in research and practice KOHS is being developing a new format of interdisciplinary collaboration. The idea is to foster activities in communities of health care, ergonomics, occupational health and technology research.
Topics of the workshop will be actual demands in health care (secondary users), applications of technology to meet this demands, technology (focusing on open platforms, open source), integrated processes to enable co-working on health of primary users and the health of health care workers (challenges for health care organisations and occupational health (tertiary users).
Topics of the workshop:
- Actual challenges in health care
- “New” approach: Community health care → co-working on health → active life
- Technology needs
- Data – need of data and data structures (open data)
- Technology competences → new formats of interdisciplinary, interprofessional and intersectoral ergonomics education
- systematic approach to user experience (UX)
- Approach of: Integrated learning
- Approach of: Joint cognitive systems (JCS) & Soziotechnical system design (STS-D)
- Relevant aspects of Ergonomics

Cooperation:
The conference is supported by AAL Europe and organized in collaboration with the Bulgarian Association for Ergonomics and Human Factors (BAEHF) and the Hungarian Ergonomics Society (MET).
Further the conference is supported by the Technical Committee for Safety and Health of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA).
