Usability Day for Michigan, one of many such events that

Usability Day on

celebration of World
Usability Day and MSU's Fifth Annual Usability &

The focus for World Usability Day 2007 is healthcare.
Whether it's new

healthcare delivery,
EVERYONE is affected by usability in healthcare.

showcasing
innovative work in its early stages that may benefit from
discussion with
usability experts from both academia and industry. We
encourage researchers
to submit their work-in-progress, present their valuable
ideas, and enrich
the usability and accessibility knowledge gained by the
