Research in human-machine interaction is becoming increasingly important in the field of computer-assisted surgery. The development of usable and intuitive user interfaces for medical devices has become a major challenge due to the increasing functionality.
New display and visualization techniques enable new ways of interacting with medical image data, for example, more effective 3D exploration and intervention planning capabilities. New input devices and interaction opportunities may have the potential to greatly change the current form of software and device usage in the operating room. Thus, during surgery, the direct and secure interaction with devices is liable to the increasing importance, e.g. the control of complex surgical navigation systems or intraoperative imaging such as CTA or iMRI.
Also in the field of robotic systems, developed by engineers and used by clinicians, requires a constant information exchange and an examination. Therefore, the working group is particularly dedicated to the human-robot interaction of future medical robot systems and enables interdisciplinary discussion of this aspects.
The working group provides a forum for the scientific exchange and networking of various actors in the research field of human-machine interaction. In particular, new concepts and current clinical solutions for human-machine interaction are being examined and discussed. The intensive dialogue between scientists, clinical users and the industry is a primary objective.
The working group was founded in September 2015 and focuses on the following topics:
