“…The systems enable shared reviewing with joint image navigation, synchronized cursors for pointing, and image annotations. Shareable displays [18] have also been developed using PDAs to access and navigate radiology material on larger displays. Recent advances in mobile technology, allow us to overcome the limitations of previous systems [3] to support distributed interaction with radiology imagery.…”

Abstract. Multi-disciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) are essential in healthcare, where medical specialists discuss diagnosis and treatment of patients. We introduce a prototype multi-display groupware system, intended to augment the discussions of medical imagery, through a range of input mechanisms, multiuser interfaces and interaction techniques on multi-touch devices and pen-based technologies. Observations of MDTMs, as well as interviews and observations of surgeons and radiologists, serve as a foundation for guidelines and a set of implemented techniques. We present a detailed analysis of a study where the techniques' potential was explored with radiologists and surgeons of different specialties and varying expertise. The results show that the implemented technologies have the potential to bring numerous benefits to the team meetings with minimal modification to the current workflow. We discuss how they can augment the expressiveness and communication between meeting participants, facilitate understanding for novices, and improve remote collaboration.

“…Other projects have shown additional promising uses of mobile displays in combination with large displays, e.g. the ability to present additional information [21,27], enhance mobility of the overall system [9], improve control and security (e.g., for authentication [16]), leverage group discussions [22], and share information across different classes of displays [17].…”

Figure 1. MobiSurf supports co-located decision making through integrating personal devices and a shared surface. a) Users discuss their goals. b) They can decide to work on the surface or their personal device. c) Information can be shared easily for discussion on the surface. ABSTRACTOne of the most popular scenarios for advertising interactive surfaces in the home is their support for solving colocated collaborative tasks. Examples include joint planning of events (e.g., holidays) or deciding on a shared purchase (e.g., a present for a common friend). However, this usually implies that all interactions with information happen on the common display. This is in contrast to the current practices to use personal devices and further, most people's behavior to constantly switch between individual and group phases because people have differing search strategies, preferences, etc. We therefore investigated how the combination of personal devices and a simple way of exchanging information between these devices and an interactive surface changes the way people solve collaborative tasks compared to an existing approach of using personal devices. Our study results clearly indicate that the combination of personal and a shared device allows users to fluently switch between individual and group work phases and users take advantage of both device classes.

“…One solution that eliminates the need to display images on a PDA is a system under development at the University of California at Los Angeles that uses a PDA to control a high-resolution, wall-mounted, flat-panel display (9). The display functions as the equivalent of a viewbox.…”

The next phase of the digital revolution in medicine is taking place through the dissemination of powerful handheld computers. Handheld computers, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), are no longer considered either a curiosity or a toy. The current handheld computer has many features (Internet access, simple e-mail client software, spreadsheet and database programs, word processing, and digital media) that make it an ideal tool for healthcare providers. Improvements in handwriting recognition, display characteristics, and wireless networking capabilities provide a platform for real-time review of both large static and dynamic repositories of patient data. Although earlier PDA models lacked the ability to display medical images appropriately, current PDAs boast display characteristics that approach low-resolution computer monitors. Although the handheld computer is not yet a reliable option for soft-copy reading, it offers many features that can improve work flow and efficiency for the radiologist. These features include improved personal information management, decision support via access to educational materials, and remote access to radiology-related information systems.
