Results: A prototype to identify patients during their radiation therapy was made in collaboration with the Radiation Oncology Department of the University Hospital Basel. The result is a fully functional prototype that can be integrated into the existing system landscape.

The HONcode, having begun in the mid-1990s has managed to stay current and relevant two decades on, because of its ability to change and remain relevant to the present times.

After integrated mouse interactions and, later, tactile interactions, more changes are ongoing with the increasing popularity of devices allowing contactless interactions. This type of interaction device is particularly interesting in healthcare environments where physical contacts are prohibited. For instance, it can be used in the operating theatre to avoid contamination while surgeons manipulate medical images. Finding a new touchless interaction paradigm that allows manipulation of 3D images in space and time in a simple and efficient manner is not a simple task. We performed an explorative study to compare three different ways of interacting with the Leap Motion™, a device allowing interaction with a computer system through hand movements. Three interaction strategies have been implemented, one copying the traditional mouse interaction paradigm, one assigning a different hand gesture for each possible action and one using a single gesture but allowing switching between interaction modes. The qualitative results obtained during the debriefing and observation of three participants testing the systems revealed a clear preference for using a limited number of gestures. The next step in the process will be to link the device with a real medical imagery system and to use a medical scenario to confirm that these early findings are still valid in more realistic situations.","PeriodicalId":156842,"journal":{"name":"Swiss medical informatics","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126350729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is even more crucial in the medical world where, on the one hand, we have medical confidentiality and, on the other hand, we need fast access to the patient’s records. As social media progressively infiltrate human activity, they could be a solution to this dual problem. We have developed a JAVA web application which, based on the authentication and the security inherent in these networks, allows users to authenticate themselves through media such as Facebook and Google or resorting to a key like the SuisseID. The Single Sign-On principle and the SAML standard are the drivers of the resulting authentication. Single Sign-On solves the problem of forgetting/losing multiple passwords, promoting fast and easy connection. Our application is able to authenticate a user by means of their username and password derived either from the main account of the application or from their attributes on an external account such as Facebook, previously coupled to their main account. The application can directly create an account on the basis of an external «social» account. The pairing between the social account and an account internal to our application enables the Single Sign-On mechanism which, in the medical world, will accelerate the access to patient records. Our application provides strong authentication as well as a Single Sign-On property. Its design is open to various new identity providers. An interesting future perspective.","PeriodicalId":156842,"journal":{"name":"Swiss medical informatics","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133824575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
