Advanced Human Interfaces for Telemedicine.

Abstract

HIT Lab researchers are collaborating with numerous medical advisers from a wide range of specialties to develop novel methods for interacting with clinical data and emerging advanced medical technologies. In particular, we are developing advanced interface technologies which will facilitate time-critical trauma care in battlefield situations (with clear applications in civilian clinical environments, as well). The primary goal of this project has been to provide some of the basic knowledge and understanding needed to develop practical human-computer interfaces for future 'integrated' medical information systems. The LIMIT testbed developed under this DARPA grant now provides a resource for virtual prototyping and evaluation of a host of new medical devices and patient data representations. As products begin to emerge from the Advanced Biomedical Technology program we will be able to more rapidly integrate them into a clinically acceptable user interface.
