EXCERCISES 4 Read the text, then match the words from the text to their synonyms/definitions. Medical Cyber Physical Systems Cyber-physical systems (CPS) encompass a new generation of smart medical systems that integrate human, cyber, and physical elements. Their aim is to improve patient care by enabling the delivery of advanced therapies and complex surgeries. An example is the artificial pancreas that allows people with diabetes to better manage their condition. Another example is medical robotic systems, which allow doctors to perform minimally invasive surgeries that were not possible before. Such systems may be integrated into the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), which consists of connected infrastructures of medical devices, mobile and web applications, and other health services. Designing safe and effective medical CPS and IoMT involves the work of a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, medical domain experts, and human factors specialists. Also, this work needs to be supported by rigorous development processes and tools, as substantial evidence needs to be documented and integrated to justify design choices and the review process mandated by regulation.

In your opinion – refer to people you know – what are the most serious problems for people who work with computers? And for students? FOCUS Ergonomics is the science of a workplace to the user’s needs. Its purpose is to increase efficiency and productivity and reduce discomfort. A clear understanding of ergonomics can most workplace injuries by adjusting tools to the user and using the appropriate posture to reduce the impact of repetitive movements. For this reason, desks, chairs, monitors, keyboards and lighting, all need to be when creating a workplace.
