Healthtrak(tm): Technology Enhanced Human Interface to the Computerized Patient Record

Abstract

Military physicians are expected to complete a routine outpatient appointment within fifteen minutes. However, data collection delays today compromise the quality of physician-patient interaction. Specifically, administrative and medical data collection tends to be time-consuming and resource-intensive. And, collection of patient information from sources other than the patient tends to be delay-prone. This project is concerned with the development of a wireless Medical Digital Assistant (MDA) with visualization, decision support, and ultra-fast information retrieval capabilities to ameliorate these problems. The MDA is intended to serve physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and combat medics. The MDA's user interface will be role-based, context-aware, device viewing area-sensitive, and deployment environment-compatible. Phase I of this effort produced horizontal prototypes that run on both Pocket PC and Palm operating systems.
