Subject: [AUDITORY] Mailing list for sound in healthcare From: Tom Barker <tom.barker@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 11:01:08 +0100--------------80013C0491FE3F13CAA8B499 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Good morning all, As the result of some discussion which took place on the auditory list earlier in the year, we realised that there was a few researchers who had a common interest in sound and acoustics in medical contexts. Although there is often a lot of overlap with the aims of this list, we have started a separate list, with a nice (I think) acronym - HAVENS (HealthcAre enVironmENt Soundscapes). I am posting here in case there is anyone else doing research into this more specific area, where there are sometimes unique challenges (e.g. patient confidentiality when making recordings) and inviting anyone with an interest to join. We already hosted one small virtual kick-off seminar at the start of the summer, which has already produced fruitful collaborations. Hopefully, we will host more in future. Topics of interest: * Soundscapes of medical contexts * Machine Learning in acoustics * Acoustical and visual representation of medical soundscapes * Categorisation of medical sounds * Auralization / virtual modulation of acoustic spaces * Auditory alarms design for clinical contexts * Human-centered design processes applied to sound design (ethnography, qualitative research) * Contextual inquiries in Intensive Care Units and Operating Rooms for better soundscapes * Effects of sound on patient outcomes * Hearing models and vulnerable listeners We are hosting on the groups.io platform, and the sign up information is at the following link: https://groups.io/g/havens I hope this is of interest to some of you!
