We present findings from a study conducted in a pediatric trauma center to elicit design requirements for the TraumaPen system—a mixed paper-digital interface using a digital pen and a wall display—for supporting situation awareness during trauma resuscitation. We first describe the field research that informed the initial system prototype and then present findings from two studies in which the...
