Grant GR/M53059

Aims

The Paraglide Project is investigating the use of mobile palmtop computers to support anaesthetists in the capture of pre- and post-operative data for decision support and clinical audit. Current computerised support for these tasks suffers from several important problems, including inadequate data models, clumsy user interfaces and poor integration with other clinical computer systems. We are developing and evaluating a mobile, context-sensitive palm workstation which addresses these problems.
