The FIT-System: A New Hand-Held Computer Tool for Ergonomic Assessment
(1999)Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing ~ Proceedings of the European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference EMBEC '99Objective is the recording of tasks, links and team work of anesthesia work procedures a multidiscipline operating room (OR) facility. Method is a common mobile hand-held computer device with a flexible interface technique, called the FIT-System. Main idea is, that the observer can design his own computer interface on a paper overlay according to his representation of the situation. Anesthesia procedures during surgery and induction were ...Conference Paper -
The ice-breaking VALAMO - a tool for participatory processes
(1999)Human-computer interaction : proceedings of HCI International '99 (the 8th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction), Munich, Germany, August 22-26, 1999Introduction One focus in participatory design lies on the involvement and empowerment of the users to solve problems concerning their own work system. Performing his job over a long time period, the user is obviously the person who must have the best experiences and knowledge concerning his work processes and environment. But participatory design isn’t simply to ask the users what he want to have and to let him write the requirements ...Conference Paper -
VALAMO and MEDINO - A Tool and a Database for Representing User´s Knowledge
(1999)Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing ~ Proceedings of the European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference EMBEC '99Objective is to support decision making in the layout of a new multidiscipline facility with approx. 25 operating rooms (OR’s). Main focus lies on the question whether to work with separate rooms for preparation/induction of the patient or to do these procedures in the OR. Method is an information process by the observation of work procedures and expert-user interviews in the university hospitals in Switzerland (Zurich, Bern, Lausanne), ...Conference Paper -

FIT on the Top of an Organizer - A New Technique for Multi-Purpose Event Recording
(1999)Human-Computer Interaction: Proceedings of HCI International '99 (the 8th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction), Munich, Germany, August 22-26, 1999One of the most cost consuming tasks in systems analysis is the recording of data. Concerning to work process analysis, the objectives hereby are to observe, identify and register events, for example: tasks, postures, movements, gestures, episodes of communication or co-operation as well as environmental factors. To economise this, handheld computer tools in the size of an electronic organiser can be use for onsite and online observations. ...Conference Paper -

Ergonomics in Anaesthesia
(1996)Advances in Occupational Ergonomics and Safety I: Proceedings of the XIth Annual International Occupational Ergonomics and Safety ConferenceThe present research is based on an analysis of the anaesthesia workplaces in the area of operating theatre, which was undertake in the University Hospital of Zurich. The methodology used includes a status quo analysis and a structured interview with the participated anaesthesia staff. The most significant problems are identified in the arrangement of the equipment which distract the anaesthesiologist from patient care and causes a difficult ...Conference Paper -
