The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) agreed on international recommendations in health informatics / medical informatics education. These should help to establish courses, course tracks or even complete programs in this field, to further develop existing educational activities in the various nations and to support international initiatives concerning education in health and ...

Dynamic HMI generation based on declarative descriptions solves the problem of dynamically integrating services into the HMI that are not known at design/deploy time of the HMI. [Hi07] describes this approach for individual services. In this paper, we show how we have extended this approach to enable HMI generation for compositions of services and their semantic interoperation.

In car cockpits, a wide range of graphic displays, from the low-end multi-functional devices to the most advanced reconfigurable clusters, represent an increasing part of the on-board information systems. We address within the EDONA HMI project the modeling of such human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and the development of an integrated HMI design environment that would improve current development ...

This paper addresses a need for practical human machine interface (HMI) design principles for safety-related computer controlled systems. Most HMI design principles and guidelines focus on aspects of usability. Whilst usability is important for reducing the incidence of human error, more is required of a safe human machine interface. A safe HMI design must reduce incidence of human error but eq...

  The authors compared the clinical outcome in cases of isolated, severe, blunt head injury (IHI) and those involving multiple trauma that included head injury (HMI). There were 204 patients in the IHI group (mean age, 38.5 years) and 192 in the HMI group (mean age, 35.3 years). The overall mortality rate was 53.9% following IHI and 50.0% following HMI. The incidence of shock was significa...

Palpation is an established screening procedure for the detection of several superficial cancers including breast, thyroid, prostate, and liver tumors through both self and clinical examinations. This is because solid masses typically have distinct stiffnesses compared to the surrounding normal tissue. In this paper, the application of Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for tumor detection based on ...

The software functionalities and complexity of today’s in-car infotainment HMIs (human machine interface) have grown significantly in recent years. While model-based testing and test automation are widely-used for testing system functions, testing the HMI remains manual tasks, which are very demanding and time consuming. In our research at AUDI AG a model-based testing approach is proposed for ...

We studied the effects of a membrane-active antiarrhythmic agent, procainamide (PA), on cellular electrophysiological consequences of ischemic injury to cat ventricular muscle. The left ventricles of 90to 120-minute acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) (n = 14), and 2to 4-month healed myocardial infarctions (HMI) (n = 17), were studied by microelectrode techniques in isolated tissue bath. Control...
