Summary on Grant Application Form |

We will investigate the design and use of a mobile palm workstation to support anaesthetists in the capture of pre- and post- operative data for decision support and clinical audit.Current computerised support for these tasks suffers from several important problems, including inadequate data models, clumsy user interfaces and poor integration with other clinical computer systems. We intend to develop and extensively evaluate a new palm workstation-based approach which tackles all of these problems. Our data and task models will be based on previous work of Dr Martin Gardner who will serve as one of the project research assistants. The prototype's user interface will be based on rapid gestural interaction and well-established dynamic query techniques which we will refine for a palm workstation setting. Integration with clinical support systems will exploit the infrared communications capabilities of current palm workstations will involve collaboration with Informatics plc, a UK-based company marketing clinical support systems for anaesthetists.The outcomes of this project will include a prototype system capable of commercial development and new generic interaction techniques for palm workstations.
