Purpose of Review The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how telemedicine can be beneficial in many areas of orthopedic clinical practice through a literature narrative review. In addition, we discuss advantages, barriers, and enablers of such technology. Recent Findings Telemedicine in orthopedics was initially described to discuss simple cases among non-specialist doctors through videoconferencing. Recently, it evolved to postoperative follow-up on selected cases, physical examination, and even teleconsultations direct to patients. Studies have reported that consultation can be offered safely to selected patients. Although this topic is already being addressed for a long time, recent studies have reported that there is still resistance among many orthopedic surgeons. Summary Telemedicine for orthopedics has safely expanded its operations. It can be used in postoperative follow-up of selected cases, fracture follow-up, and even in pediatric cases. Remote diagnosis of fractures is done successfully on an outpatient basis in many countries. Protocols and methods to standardize the virtual orthopedic examination for common musculoskeletal conditions have been developed. Satisfaction with teleconsultations as well as cost-effectiveness of remote care orthopedics were already well reported by some studies. We believe that remote care will be expanded in several hospitals around the world due to its huge potential. This fact is explained by natural technological development and by change and obliteration of habits accelerated exponentially after COVID-19 crisis.

Sketching is a well-established practice in many areas of design. Sketches and communication are tightly connected because one of the main functions of sketches is to help a designer communicate with colleagues. Interaction design is a new field of design that poses challenges for sketching and considering these challenges we proposed ActionSketch, a technique to improve the process of sketching for interaction design. We conducted four workshops with 24 professionals, followed by a period of continued use of approximately three weeks and an individual interview. Regarding communication between professionals, we found two sets of results: when all designers knew the technique and when some or all of the designers didn't know it. In the first case the technique facilitated the communication and points to three main benefits: verbal explanation was no longer needed; drawings became more evident; presentation of the drawings was less important. In the opposite case it ended being an obstacle. We argue that this is an intrinsic dilemma for the technique, there is a learning barrier, and we can only make the process easier. However, when at least one designer knew the technique it was no longer a barrier and even became a facilitator in critic situations. Given these results, claim that the technique has a positive effect on communication between professionals.

Abstract. Sketching is a core activity in design, but sketching practices in interaction design are sometimes insufficient, especially in the case of freehand sketching. In this article we indicate how a technique developed originally for the WIMP paradigm was extended to include multi-touch interfaces. We describe the technique, provide examples and show some future directions.

A gestão da Saúde Pública no Brasil é carente de recursos para a visualização de informações. Como parte de pesquisa para a melhoria dos painéis apresentados aos gestores, este artigo apresenta o protótipo funcional de um painel de visualização de dados criado para auxiliar a gestão e a operação do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) em nível federal. Os métodos de pesquisa e intervenção adotados na criação e no desenvolvimento do artefato são pautados pela Design Research e Pesquisa-Ação. Abordagens centradas no usuário guiaram as etapas de trabalho da equipe interdisciplinar e o envolvimento cocriativo dos gestores do SAMU. Como resultado deste esforço, detalham-se as soluções de arquitetura e design da informação, como a organização dos painéis por escopo territorial, o uso de séries temporais, mapas, componentes interativos e pictogramas para apresentação das unidades móveis. É descrito o modo como o artefato organiza a complexidade da rede de atendimento fornecendo visões por território, central de regulação, base descentralizada e unidade de atendimento. São apresentados ainda resultados compilados como requisitos de projeto para melhorias futuras. A partir da avaliação realizada com outros gestores, conclui-se que o protótipo apresentou melhorias no processo de operação do SAMU o protótipo apresentou melhorias no processo de operação do SAMU. infovis, SAMU, co-design Public health management in Brazil lacks information visualization resources. As part of a research project intending to improve dashboards presented to public health managers, this article presents a functional prototype of a dashboard designed to support the management and operation of the Mobile EmergencyCare Service (SAMU) at the federal level. The research and intervention methods adopted during the creation and development of the artefact are based on Design Research and Action Research. Usercentred approaches have guided the interdisciplinary team's work stages , as well as the co-creational involvement of SAMU managers. The information architecture and design solutions are specified, such as the arrangement of panels by territorial scope, or the use of time series, maps, interactive components and pictograms to present mobile units. The article depicts how the complexity of the care network is organized by the dashboard, which provides views by territory, regulation central, decentralised base and care unit. Results compiled as design requirements for future improvements are also presented. Based on evaluation sessions with other managers, we conclude that the prototype has brought improvements to the SAMU operation activities.
