Godel Usability Week

UPD for November 8, 4 pm CET

Please, welcome our next speaker Alena Borykava with an opinion and some key info on “Sustainable Design”:

“Have you heard about ‘sustainability’? Let’s discuss what it means in the real and digital world. I invite you to take a look at sustainability in the high-fashion, biochemistry, perfume industry and many more. If the Internet were considered a country, it would be the 7th most polluting country on the Earth, so it does carry a physical cost. See you at Godel Usability Week!

UPD for November 7, 4 pm CET

We are ready to announce the first speaker within the Godel Usability Week! “Privacy & Health” by Artsemi Martyniuk will touch upon health apps which are beyond doubt convenient for anyone to keep track of their health information. But how do companies handle personal data? According to the research by the British Medical Journal published in 2019, 79% of health-related apps available on Google Play, including apps that help manage drugs, adherence, medicines, or prescribing information, regularly shared user data with 3rd party, and their policies were “far from transparent”. We’ll discuss how period-tracking apps and the recent changes in law in the US are related, how valid privacy concerns are, and what legal restrictions apply to app policies in Europe and the US.

Godel Usability Week is back, and this time we’re sharing our knowledge with everyone! Our Design Division is working on a series of online talks on some of the trendiest topics, dedicated to the World Usability Day on November 10. You will learn about sustainable design on the Internet and its impact on the environment, economy and people. We’ll also discuss inclusive design and why bother about accessibility. Another point on the radar is whether health apps respect our privacy.

Excited? Stay tuned for further announcements!
