    Case Study

    Medical Monitoring Devices

    Based on work done at


    Hewlett-Packard
    Patient Monitoring Division
    Circa 1993

    Introduction
    • HP Patient Monitoring Division (PMD),
    Andover MA, 1992 – 1995
    • Division developed various devices for use
    in hospitals (ICU, CCU) to help improve
    patient outcomes
    • HP Medical later spun to Agilent, then sold
    to Philips

    Project “Griffin”
    • Develop a “next generation central station”, a
    monitoring device that resides at the nurse’s
    desk and displays data from individual bedside
    monitors

    Usability Measures
    • Time to learn: minimal, but training time
    acceptable
    • Speed of performance: fast, must be easy
    to locate critical data
    • Rate of errors: very low
    • Retention over time: high
    • Subjective satisfaction: not required, but
    good enough to maintain level of alertness
    over long periods of time

    System Users
    • Users are entirely clinicians:
    – Doctors, nurses
    – Highly trained professionals, high degree of
    area knowledge
    – Not necessarily computer savvy
    – Have critical tasks to perform, system plays
    an assistive role

    Interaction Styles
    • For this system, the environment drop the
    style as much as the users:
    – Minimal desk space, smaller footprint of
    trackball as pointing device
    – Potentially noisy / chaotic
    – Required high degree of accuracy

    Interaction Styles
    • Direct manipulation: usable for selecting
    targets and issuing commands (buttons)
    • Menu selection: short learning curve,
    reduced keystrokes, error handling
    • Forms: slow, too high a risk of errors
    • Command language: too much training,
    lots of error handling
    • Natural language: far too many
    keystrokes

    Monitoring Tasks
    • Real world object
    – Patients
    – Vital signs
    • Actions applied to objects
    – Display vital signs
    – Raise alarms if vitals go outside acceptable
    ranges
    – Set ranges

    Interface Objects
    • Patient
    – Name
    – Vital signs
    • Vital signs
    – Name (heart rate, blood pressure)
    – Value (beats per minute)
    – Acceptable range of value

    Copyright © 2005, Pearson Education, Inc.


    Interface Representations
    • Heart rate
    – Display metaphor: waveform
    • Long history in the medical community
    – Display color
    – Alarm levels
    – Alarm colors
    – Alarm sounds

    Copyright © 2005, Pearson Education, Inc.


    Interface Actions
    • Display vital signs
    • Set acceptable ranges
    • Inform users of alarms (visual, audio)
    • Silence alarms
