Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBPHuman-centered design: with a focus on people
New demands are being placed on design solutions, product cycles, digitization and the resulting new technologies and services. In addition, a change is taking place in society, which increasingly focuses on people, their work-life balance and well-being, their performance and health. These all call for innovative human-centered solutions.
Therefore, by taking a “Design Thinking Science” approach, people are the top priority of our experts' research and development work in the Human-Centered Design and User Research division. Our team of experts has many years of international experience in conducting surveys and user studies in the fields of psychoacoustics, sound design and cognitive ergonomics.
During their research activities, we help our customers to increase and manage their knowledge and to create trend analyses. Through the use of innovative technologies and research approaches, our state-of-the-art laboratories and interdisciplinary connections with other research groups and the entire Fraunhofer network, we offer research for economic, scientifically excellent solutions with a focus on users.
