IAUD / UD matrix

The IAUD / UD matrix is based on the UD matrix developed and released by the Ergo-Design Survey Meeting, Japan Ergonomics Society. We further developed this matrix by adding information at our own initiative.

The IAUD / UD matrix is used in the development of UD products and services and in clarifying UD conditions. It is also used as a tool for linking users with providers.

Strengths of the IAUD / UD matrix

• The characteristics of various users can be viewed at a glance. (Detailed classifications, characteristics, causal diseases, the number of applicable people, self-help tools, general considerations, etc.)
• Users can download summary sheets of user characteristics for use in fieldwork.
• There are instructions and references for organizing tasks and conducting surveys and assessments.

IAUD members can download the IAUD / UD matrix ver. 1.10 and IAUD / UD Matrix ver. 1.10 Manual.
