In this design case study, protocol and linkographic analysis are applied to a task of cooperative vocal sketching, proposed in the scope of educational research activities. the understanding of the cognitive behaviors involved in sound creation is aimed at setting the ground for the development of rigorous, designerly evaluation practices tailored to sound design, all the way to the final interactive product. Relevant qualitative and quantitative information about the creative process informs the assessment and possibly improvement of sound design methods.

the rapid advancement of technology presents the opportunity to digitize practice management. With a doctor to patient ratio of 1:33,000, digitizing health records in the Philippines is seen as one solution in providing more efficient health care services. Withthe deployment of EMRs in the Philippines at its infancy, there is a need to initiate studies on feasibility, usability and user perception. this paper reports findings on usability of EMRs in a developing economy. Specifically, a system usability scale (SUS) was used to assess the usability of an EMR and interviews were conducted to acquire user feedback. Results of the survey indicated an overall mean SUS score of 70.76 with age and confidence in technology being key deciding factors. Further observations and future research to streamline the heavy task of encoding on an EMR during patient-physician consultation are explained.

this paper describes a user-centered approach to the design and development of an electronic partogram for healthcare workers in developing countries. the device is intended to aid healthcare workers in data entry and interpretation of condition of mother and baby during active phase of labor in childbirth. Iterative processes of designthinking and prototyping lead to development of a simulation prototype, which was subject to user tests. Initial user tests revealed significant advantages in data entry speed and accuracy of electronic partogram over paper based partograph. Copyright 2013 ACM.

Voice user interfaces (VUIs) have become quite popular in the current indian technological landscape. However, their emergence is recent in the indian demographic. Emotion plays a significant role in the user experience of any interface. this work aims to study the indian users' emotional response to sound stimuli used in Voice User Interfaces (VUIs). We conducted an online study using the PsychoPy (1) platform with 68 participants over three phases. the target population is 18-26 years old and resides in Delhi, India. the research led us to standardize the modulation of speech stimuli to exhibit different emotional states. the findings show voice pitch, intonation, and speech rate as significant in guiding the emotional content of speech stimuli. this work is the first to study the emotional content of VUI speech stimuli in an indian demographic.
