Abstract

This study concerns the implementation of a gesture-based interface in medical context in order to support the quality of care. Literature and in-the-field research has shown there is potential for a gesture-based medical image browsing design, supporting the intervention radiologist during minimally invasive, image-guided interventions as performed in the cath-lab environment. The design enables the intervention radiologist to recall medical images at any time, using single hand movements, without leaving the position or ask the medical staff for indirect image browsing.This offers the intervention radiologist a reduced cognitive load, maintaining the flow of the medical procedure and indirectly support the quality of care. Nevertheless, this gesture- based interface might also support medical experts in other domains.
