Description
Fahad –
There is a lot to learn about this topic. Thank you for researching this and preparing your post. An exciting area of technology-people interaction is the use of gaming systems to help adults with brain injuries recover (Aulisio et al., 2020). This, to me, is the epitome of “human interactions with technology”! What potential challenges do you see with this?

Challenges of Human Interactions with Technology
Challenges Encountered
The complex relationships between people and machines present several difficulties for human interactions with technology. The digital gap is one of the main challenges, aggravating social injustices by preventing marginalized people from participating in the digital world due to their limited access to technology(Dwivedi et al., 2021). In addition, technology frequently threatens the established social order, raising worries about depersonalization and the deterioration of genuine human ties.
Concerns about privacy and security are significant, particularly when personal data is exposed to breaches and misuse, which breeds mistrust. In addition, the quick speed of technology development leads to a steep learning curve for many people, discouraging them from embracing new technologies(Farahani et al., 2020). Additionally, the prevalence of screens and devices can result in problems like digital addiction, which can harm mental and physical health. It is necessary to take a deliberate, human-centred approach, ensuring that technology fosters inclusion, privacy, and real connections in the digital age rather than degrading them to address these issues.
Recommendations
It is critical to use a human-centric design process when creating computer and mobile application interfaces for patient care to address these difficulties. First, simplicity and intuitiveness should be given top priority by designers(Dwivedi et al., 2021). No matter their technological skill level, patients and healthcare professionals should be able to effortlessly explore and use the applications by designing user interfaces, emphasizing the user experience. Iterative testing methods can improve interfaces by refining them and incorporating user feedback.
Second, it is crucial to customize and personalize. Applications should be flexible enough to adjust to the demands and tastes of various users, customizing the user experience(Farahani et al., 2020). For instance, patients with chronic illnesses could need streamlined interfaces that enable quick access to patient records and treatment plans. In contrast, healthcare practitioners might gain from interfaces that offer individualized health insights and reminders.Thirdly, the design must incorporate data security and privacy. Building trust and confidence in the digital healthcare ecosystem can be achieved by using robust encryption techniques, maintaining compliance with legal requirements, and educating users about data security procedures.
In conclusion, computer and mobile application interfaces can be designed to improve patient care effectively and efficiently by embracing simplicity, personalization, data security, and interdisciplinary collaboration. A complete and compassionate patient care experience is promoted by this human-centric approach, which not only lessens the difficulties associated with human interactions with technology but also fosters a healthcare environment in which technology enhances rather than replaces the human touch.
