Adinda Freudenthal, PhD
Adinda Freudenthal is workpackage leader User Interfaces of the ARIS*ER project.
She graduated as Master of Science in Industrial Design Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in 1989. After working as a designer and educator, in 1992 she joined TU Delft, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, as a researcher. She investigated the problems encountered by the elderly and the young while operating their domestic appliances and consumer electronics. This resulted in a set of interface design guidelines to ease the use and learning to use (PhD in 1999). After that she joined the intelligence in products research group, and also worked in Ma-education of design engineering students.
She leads the "Intelligence in Medical Technology" group.
Her main medical domains are ICU Nursing and Visualization and decision support in interventions
Her main research interests are:
- design- and design-research methodology development
- human factors: especially sensory and cognitive ergonomics
- the design of future intelligent products, i.e. products with embedded software, which react context dependent, feeded by sensors or (processed) data; emphasis on the design of user-system interaction
