Abstract: A method and system for ergonomically augmenting a workspace. A contextual and interactive automated ergonomic assessment is performed by which user data relating to a workspace setup and a patient's experience of the workspace is obtained. Features and deficiencies of equipment in the workspace, and possible ergonomic risks to the patient, are identified. The system includes a relational library of equipment, equipment features, deficiencies, and ergonomic issues, which may be referenced to select recommended equipment to augment the workspace. Additional ergonomic interventions may also be recommended. A predictive model may gather insights and may be leveraged to make statistically-informed recommendations for augmentations to the workspace.

Abstract: An elevator dispatching method which estimates the time of arrival (ETA) of each car at the floor of a hall call to be assigned. A building profile of average door cycle times per floor, over predetermined periods of the day, is tabulated and used in the ETA calculations, to provide more accurate ETA values and thus a lower average call waiting time.
