Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to provide efficient control of graphical user interfaces in medical procedures, requiring a need for the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the medical procedures, requiring a need for the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces in the graphical user interfaces during medical procedures, requiring a need for the graphical user interfaces during medical procedures, requiring a need for the graphical user interfaces during medical procedures, such as medical procedures involving catheters in heart cavities, where physicians require simplified input interfaces to control graphical representations of anatomical structures while maintaining control over the catheter.
Innovation Solution
A simplified input interface for physicians to control graphical user interfaces during medical procedures, allowing for state-dependent input options and split control between multiple users, enabling autonomous control within the sterile field without external assistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional keyboard and mouse interface is used to control graphical user interface during medical procedures, then comprehensive control functionality is available, but the physician cannot efficiently manipulate the interface while simultaneously controlling the catheter
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into multiple independent controllers: a first controller (keyboard and mouse) for comprehensive graphical interface control, and a second controller (touchscreen interface) for simplified catheter control. This segmentation allows each controller to be optimized for its specific function, enabling the physician to efficiently control the catheter with one hand while maintaining the ability to access graphical interface functions with the other hand or through voice commands.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical user interface is designed to be universally controllable through multiple input methods: keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen interface. This multi-functionality ensures that regardless of which controller the physician uses, comprehensive control capabilities are available, allowing seamless switching between control modes based on procedural needs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the physician communicates with personnel outside the sterile field for graphical interface control, then comprehensive interface manipulation is possible, but procedural continuity is interrupted and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service control by providing the physician with direct access to graphical interface control through the touchscreen interface integrated into the catheter control system. The physician can independently manipulate graphical representations, adjust views, and control display parameters without requiring assistance from personnel outside the sterile field, thereby maintaining procedural continuity and eliminating communication delays.
3Ease of operation
If a simplified touchscreen interface is used for catheter control, then one-handed operation is enabled, but comprehensive graphical interface control functionality is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges two previously separate control functions into a single integrated touchscreen interface: catheter control and graphical interface manipulation. The touchscreen display shows both catheter position information and graphical representations of anatomical structures, allowing the physician to control both aspects simultaneously through touch gestures, thereby maintaining comprehensive control capability while enabling one-handed operation.
