“…The other displays are evaluated using frequency of images. The previous researches on telemedicine using echogram [5]- [7] show that only image frequency defines the legibility of echogram for the cardiologists. They could diagnose condition of mitral valve even with low quality image sequence with average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) value of 14.25dD, if the image frequency was more than 10 frames per second (fps).…”

“…The approach to embed a medical system into HIS may fit the target medical system for other purposes. The ubiquitous echograph prototype was tested under a telemedicine scenario (display unit (h) and (i)) and the performance of the prototype was equivalent to the previous tele-diagnosis attempts [5]- [7]. Of course, to perform telemedicine smoothly with the ubiquitous echograph, we need to introduce additional systems to support communication between two clinicians, such as Suenaga et al [14] proposed.…”

A Hospital Information Systems (HIS) have turned a hospital into a gigantic computer with huge computational power, huge storage and wired/wireless local area network. On the other hand, a modern medical device, such as echograph, is a computer system with several functional units connected by an internal network named a bus. Therefore, we can embed such a medical device into the HIS by simply replacing the bus with the local area network. This paper designed and developed two embedded systems, a ubiquitous echograph system and a networked digital camera. Evaluations of the developed systems clearly show that the proposed approach, embedding existing clinical systems into HIS, drastically changes productivity in the clinical field. Once a clinical system becomes a pluggable unit for a gigantic computer system, HIS, the combination of multiple embedded systems with application software designed under deep consideration about clinical processes may lead to the emergence of disruptive innovation in the clinical field.

Abstract. Smart Eye is a research project focused on developing and operating, in real-time, an innovative system, that allows the visualization of invisible, known, covered by the ground or by constructions, monuments and finds in an archaeological site, using an Augmented Reality (AR) environment. The visitors of an archaeological site will be able to observe the covered antiquities (3D models and descriptive information) on the screen of their mobile device (smart phone and/or tablet). The system integrates mobile positioning and pose estimation technologies, AR algorithms, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial databases. The AR application is implemented by IT scientists and is subsequently evaluated in the field to identify both technical problems (e.g. are files uploaded at high speed?) and problems identified by the average user of the AR application (e.g. would it be better if the button to display the 3D model of the archaeological excavation was larger on the screen or of a different color?). The paper will present, on one hand, the validation and evaluation protocols according to the relevant literature, and on the other, the exact evaluation methodology of the Smart Eye system. In addition, the problems identified and the way they were solved during the 1st evaluation of the application will be presented, as well as the problems identified during the 2nd evaluation.
