• Academic• Case study• Simple, low-cost, user-centric solution to a

tangible problem

Main goal

Determine if pervasive technology can be used to convince physicians to change their approach to IT

Agenda Introduction to the hospital Problem description System design Research issues

Question One How does the way technology has entered

the medical realm in Poland differ form Western experiences?

A. Romanowski, P. Woźniak: EMERGENCY CASE NOTIFICATION AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA SHARING SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MEDICAL WARDS 14

Question Two Can established design patterns and

evaluation methods from medical pervasive computing be readily applied in Polish hospitals?

A. Romanowski, P. Woźniak: EMERGENCY CASE NOTIFICATION AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA SHARING SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MEDICAL WARDS 15

Some observations A dependency on private mobile phones No unified notification system Optical discs everywhere

A. Romanowski, P. Woźniak: EMERGENCY CASE NOTIFICATION AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA SHARING SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MEDICAL WARDS 16

An additional inquiry Messiness is intrinsic in everyday

infrastructures Ubicomp practice is based on appropriating

technologies (juggling)

A. Romanowski, P. Woźniak: EMERGENCY CASE NOTIFICATION AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA SHARING SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MEDICAL WARDS 17

Our view We see the doctors as great jugglers Appropriating technology day by day Using generic tools for hospital work
