FIT für die Mensch-Maschine Schnittstelle
(1998)Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen : Methoden, Ergebnisse und Weiterentwicklung arbeitswissenschaftlicher ForschungFIT steht für flexible Interface Technik und ist eine Methode zur computergestützten Erfassung von Ereignissen, wie sie bei der Analyse von Tätigkeiten, Körperhaltungen oder Arbeitsbewegungen notwendig wird. Das Erfassungsgerät ist in einer Hand zu tragen und besitzt eine drucksensitive Platte. Auf dieser Platte kann der analysierende Ergonom eine Papierschablone fixieren, über die er seine Eingaben mittels eines Stiftes auf die drucksensitive ...Conference Paper -
Who is the Designer? - The B-VOR Process of Participatory Design
(1999)Human-computer interaction : proceedings of HCI International '99 (the 8th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction), Munich, Germany, August 22-26, 1999The application of traditional methods for product or work system design is often confronted with the problem of end-user’s acceptance because of misunderstanding of the implemented changes, mismatching of needs and requirements and a misappropriate allocation of functions between the users and the system. At last but not at least: the users have to grasp the underlying rationality in the predicted system changes. Those well-known problems ...Conference Paper -
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 -

The Monitor-Frog: Expert-Users Interactions in Ergonomics and Cooperative Design
(1999)Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing ~ Proceedings of the European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference EMBEC '99Objectives are the improvement of Anesthesia workplaces in a multidiscipline operating room (OR) facility. Method is: a status quo analysis, expert-users interviews and a co-operative design process. Results are significant mismatches of ergonomic principles and user requirements in the analysed workplace layout. This causes distractions from patient care, an high amount of head movements and muscle strains, and a difficult procedures to ...Conference Paper -
FIT für die Analyse von Belastung und Gefährdung – Ein neues System zur mobilen Datenerfassung
(1999)Arbeitsmedizinische Prävention. Dokumentationsband über die 39. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Arbeitsmedizin und Umweltmedizin e.V. (DGAUM),Das FIT-System (flexible Interface Technik) ist ein leicht zu erlernendes, einfach zu handhabendes und vielseitig einsetzbares Verfahren zur elektronischen Erfassung von beobachtbaren Ereignissen (Tätigkeiten, Körperhaltungen, Bewegungen, Interaktionen) oder Zuständen. Der Benutzer kann einerseits die Struktur der Datenerfassung auf einer Papierschablone selbst gestalten, und andererseits dennoch die volle elektronische Unterstützung bei ...Conference Paper
