Abstract

Computerized medical systems play a vital role in the operating room, yet surgeons often face challenges when interacting with these systems during surgery. In this project we are aiming at analyzing and understanding the Operating Room specific aspects which affect the end user experience. Beside operating room specific usability evaluation approaches in this project we also try to improve the preliminary intra-operative user interaction methodologies.

Detailed Project Description

Evaluating the usability of systems in complex domains like the Operating Room is not an easy endeavor. In order to handle the complexity, deep domain knowledge is required. In this project we have proposed an operating room specific domain model. This model is used to facilitate the state of art usability engineering approaches in the operating theater. Furthermore, the proposed domain model is base of our studies for developing a novel and extensible intra-operative human computer interaction framework. This open framework supports wide range of input sensors and can be extended to be used with computerized systems in the operating theater.
