Book excerpt: Les dispositifs mobiles tels que les smartphones, les montres connectées ou les lunettes électroniques ont révolutionné la façon dont nous interagissons. Les lunettes électroniques nous intéressent, car elles fournissent aux utilisateurs une vision simultanée des mondes physique et numérique. Cependant, l'interaction sur les lunettes électroniques n'est pas bien explorée. L'amélioration de l'interaction sur ce dispositif peut convaincre les utilisateurs à l'utiliser plus dans la vie quotidienne. Le sujet de thèse est focalisé sur l'étude et le développement de nouvelles techniques d'interaction avec les lunettes électroniques. En effet, il n'est pas possible d'interagir aussi finement en mobilité ou en situation d'urgence par rapport à une situation stable telle qu'assis devant un bureau. Notre contexte de travail se situe dans le domaine de la santé et en particulier celui du personnel médical visitant un patient dans un hôpital. Le personnel médical doit pouvoir accéder aux données du patient déjà collectées, obtenir des données physiologiques en temps réel, préparer son diagnostic et communiquer avec ses collègues. Le verrou scientifique pour la thèse ici est de trouver des solutions qui permettent au personnel médical de réaliser ces tâches de façon plus précise et moins contraignante. Le but est de rendre plus efficace le diagnostic et le partage d'informations et de faire d'un dispositif encore non maîtrisé un outil fonctionnel en milieu professionnel de la santé. Dans cette optique, les travaux de cette thèse présentent des contributions théoriques et applicatives. Nous avons tout d'abord répertorié les différents travaux effectués dans le cadre des lunettes électroniques pour le domaine de la santé, tout en indiquant le potentiel, les résultats pertinents et les limites. Nous nous sommes focalisés sur les lunettes électroniques pour afficher et manipuler les dossiers patients. D'un point de vue conceptuel, nous avons proposé un espace de conception à huit dimensions pour identifier les lacunes dans les systèmes existants et aider à la conception de nouveaux systèmes. D'un point de vue applicatif, en interaction en sortie, nous avons introduit une technique appelée K-Fisheye sur une interface à tuiles qui permet de parcourir un grand ensemble de données comme celui présent dans le dossier patient. Nous avons utilisé ensuite l'espace de conception pour porter un système existant sur les lunettes électroniques. Le prototype obtenu s'appelle mCAREglass. En interaction en entrée, nous avons exploré quatre techniques de pointage sur les lunettes électroniques avec la norme ISO 9241-411 pour sélectionner les techniques qui ne sont pas contraignantes pour naviguer dans le dossier patient. Ensuite, nous avons conçu une nouvelle technique d'entrée de texte appelé TEXTile qui permet de saisir du texte sur un tissu interactif communiquant avec les lunettes.

Book excerpt: Pour les personnes déficientes visuelles, les documents en relief sont importants pour l'accès à la connaissance. Afin de répondre aux spécificités de la perception haptique, il est nécessaire de simplifier la quantité d'information disponible au sein d'un document en relief. Ce processus s'appelle l'adaptation du contenu et repose sur l'intervention d'un spécialiste qui sait concevoir un contenu adapté à l'exploration tactile et à la compétence des utilisateurs. Comme la modification est impossible, celui-ci doit être refait à chaque changement. Ainsi, la possibilité d'utiliser et d'explorer un contenu numérique plutôt que physique représente une alternative intéressante. Un grand nombre de données numériques en accès libre est disponible, et l'adaptation des données peut être réalisée grâce à des algorithmes prévus à cet effet. Cependant, les documents numériques sont par essence visuels, et par conséquent inaccessibles aux personnes déficientes visuelles en l'état. L'état de l'art concernant l'exploration haptique de données numériques fait apparaitre un ensemble de solutions reposant sur un artefact (comme une souris à retour de force). Cette approche présente de nombreuses limitations, notamment le fait de parcourir le document avec un seul point de contact. Une approche plus fonctionnelle consiste à laisser l'utilisateur explorer un graphique numérique avec ses mains : chaque doigt peut alors être considéré comme un curseur. Les feedback sonore et vibratoire sont déclenchés en fonction de la position du doigt sur le document numérique. Cependant, il est nécessaire de connaitre les éléments importants d'un graphique (c'est-à-dire les éléments qui déclencheront des feedbacks), ainsi que le rôle de chacun des doigts au cours de l'exploration. La problématique de cette thèse porte sur l'exploration des données spatiales numériques en reposant sur des interactions haptiques. L'objectif est double : 1) comprendre comment les personnes déficientes visuelles explorent les graphiques en relief ; et 2) proposer des techniques d'interaction haptique, basées sur des dispositifs personnels et transportables, qui permettent aux utilisateurs déficients visuels d'explorer des graphiques numériques dans différents contextes (à la maison ou à l'école par exemple). Pour répondre au premier point, nous avons réalisé deux études portant sur les stratégies d'exploration des documents en relief, en fonction du niveau d'expertise des utilisateurs. Nous avons montré que les stratégies utilisées dépendent de l'expertise mais aussi du type de document exploré. Pour répondre au deuxième point, nous avons proposé de nouvelles techniques d'interaction reposant sur l'utilisation d'une montre connectée qui permet des feedbacks localisés. Nous avons mené deux études expérimentales concernant la conception et l'évaluation de techniques d'interaction haptiques basées sur la montre. La première étude portait sur la comparaison de l'exploration de graphiques physiques (en relief) à celle de graphiques numériques virtuels. Les résultats montrent que deux de nos techniques d'interaction permettent une exploration de graphiques numériques plus rapide que l'exploration de graphiques en relief. Notre deuxième étude visait à développer et évaluer des techniques d'interaction permettant l'utilisation des deux mains lors de l'exploration de contenus numériques. Les résultats montrent que les stratégies bimanuelles reposant sur un feedback bilatéral localisé améliorent les performances d'exploration de graphiques numériques. Les résultats de ces études mettent en avant les avantages d'une interaction haptique bimanuelle. Combinées à un dispositif de localisation et de suivi des mains, les techniques d'interaction développées sur une montre connectée pourraient permettre aux utilisateurs d'interagir avec des contenus numériques dans de nombreuses situations de la vie quotidienne.
Download or read book Data Visualization Strategies for the Electronic Health Record written by Blake J. Lesselroth and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's capacious medical information systems have increased the amount and availability of general medical knowledge and patient-specific data. And yet, information gaps at the point-of-care are widening; clinicians are under increased pressure to synthesize best-evidence, review more patient data and complete more clinical tasks in less time. To meet the information-intensive needs of the 21st century clinician, the electronic health record (EHR) must evolve beyond a digital representation of the paper chart. This new book reviews some of the ubiquitous technical barriers impeding information management at the point-of-care and discusses strategies for better data visualization including multimedia displays, clinical dashboards, concept-oriented views, metaphor graphics and probability analytics.

Download or read book Sign Language written by Jim G. Kyle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-02-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the importance of sign language in the deaf community is very recent indeed. This book provides a study of the communication and culture of deaf people, and particularly of the deaf community in Britain. The authors' principal aim is to inform educators, psychologists, linguists and professionals working with deaf people about the rich language the deaf have developed for themselves - a language of movement and space, of the hands and of the eyes, of abstract communication as well as iconic story telling. The first chapters of the book discuss the history of sign language use, its social aspects and the issues surrounding the language acquisition of deaf children (BSL) follows, and the authors also consider how the signs come into existence, change over time and alter their meanings, and how BSL compares and contrasts with spoken languages and other signed languages. Subsequent chapters examine sign language learning from a psychological perspective and other cognitive issues. The book concludes with a consideration of the applications of sign language research, particularly in the contentious field of education. There is still much to be discovered about sign language and the deaf community, but the authors have succeeded in providing an extensive framework on which other researchers can build, from which professionals can develop a coherent practice for their work with deaf people, and from which hearing parents of deaf children can draw the confidence to understand their children's world.
Download or read book Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Older Adults with Low Vision written by Jennifer Kaldenberg and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. population is aging, and occupational therapy practitioners working with older adults must have the skills to address multiple health issues, including vision loss. Although typical aging does not cause low vision, four major causes of vision impairment are directly related to the aging process: (1) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), (2) diabetic retinopathy, (3) glaucoma, and (4) cataracts. Instances of these impairments are expected to double by the year 2050, making low vision a significant public health issue. This Practice Guideline includes occupational therapy assessment and intervention guidelines for older adults who have visual acuity impairments, visual field impairments, or both as a result of a low vision diagnosis. Screening, referral, and evaluation are covered for clients for central visual field impairments, such as AMD and cataract; peripheral field impairments, such as glaucoma, hemianopsia, and quadrantanopsia; and mixed visual field loss, such as diabetic retinopathy. This work can help occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, as well as individuals who manage, reimburse, or set policy regarding occupational therapy services, understand the contribution of occupational therapy to treating older adults with low vision. Appendixes include selected diagnostic and billing codes and evidence tables.

Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.

Download or read book Action and Agency in Dialogue written by François Cooren and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when people communicate or dialogue with each other? This is the daunting question that this book proposes to address by starting from a controversial hypothesis: What if human interactants were not the only ones to be considered, paraphrasing Austin (1962), as “doing things with words”? That is, what if other “things” could also be granted the status of agents in a dialogical situation? Action and Agency in Dialogue: Passion, incarnation, and ventriloquism proposes to explore this unique hypothesis by mobilizing metaphorically the notion of ventriloquism. According to this ventriloqual perspective, interactions are never purely local, but dislocal, that is, they constantly mobilize figures (collectives, principles, values, emotions, etc.) that incarnate themselves in people’s discussions. This highly original book, which develops the analytical, practical and ethical dimensions of such a theoretical positioning, may be of interest to communication scholars, linguists, sociologists, conversation analysts, management and organizational scholars, as well as philosophers interested in language, action and ethics.
Download or read book New Perspectives in Medical Records written by Giovanni Rinaldi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides innovative practical suggestions regarding the production and management of medical records that are designed to address the inconsistencies and errors that have been highlighted especially in relation to national eHealth programs. Challenges and lessons that have emerged from the use of clinical information and the design of medical records are discussed, and principles underpinning the implementation of health IT are critically examined. New trends in the use of clinical data are explored in depth, with analysis of issues relating to integration and sharing of patient information, data visualization, big data analytics, and the requirements of modern electronic health records. The spirit pervading the book is one of co-production, in which the needs of practitioners are taken into account from the outset. Readers will learn the basic concepts of how clinical information emanating from the doctor–patient relationship can be effectively integrated with genetic and environmental data and analyzed by complex algorithms with the goal of improving medical decision making and patient care. The book, written by European experts and researchers, will be of interest to all stakeholders in the field, including doctors, technicians, and policy makers.

Download or read book The Modern Procession written by Francis Alÿs and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of Sunday, June 23, 2002, 100 participants gathered at The Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan, along with a 12-person Peruvian brass band, and a horse, dogs, and numerous palanquins, atop which sat replicas of three masterpieces from the museum's collection--Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," Duchamp's ready-made "Bicycle Wheel" and a Giacometti--and a living representative of contemporary art, Kiki Smith. Three hours later they ended their procession at the museum's new temporary home, in Queens. Along the way, which ran from 11 West 53 Street, over the Queensboro Bridge, and up Queens Boulevard, the procession absorbed 100 additional participants, and enacted a very public spectacle--part saint's day procession and part secular celebration--of the museum's historic move to MoMA QNS.
