Description

The objective of this group is to develop research in software fields that could result in novel software applications for our society. The group is integrated by researchers with expertise in areas such as human-computer interaction and medical informatics. The multidisciplinary nature of the projects proposed by this group require the integration of professionals and researchers from other fields such as medicine and nursing.

Research Summaries

Development of User Interfaces for Electronic Patient Record System

This work focus on the development of user interfaces for electronic patient record systems. Prototypes of electronic patient record systems are being developed to study physicians' and nurses' interaction with various applications and technologies. We have run experiments to study physicians interacting with text-based, graphical-based and paper based electronic patient record systems. Most recently with we ran experiments that involved physicians and nurses interacting with PDAs to access and update patient records.
