Medical applications are becoming increasingly important in the current development of health care and therefore a crucial part of the medical industry. An essential component is the development of user interfaces for mobile medical applications. The conceptual process is crucial for the further development of the main development process. Inconsistency or errors in the conceptual phase, have a serious impact on all areas and could prevent the certification for market approval.
This paper presents a guide to support developer with this process. It was developed based on a requirement analysis of the legal requirements to publish a medical device.
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rollstuhl mit einem Gestell mit Rädern, einem Sitz sowie zwei gegenüber dem Sitz verlagerbaren Fußplatten und ein Trainingsgerät zur Bewegungstherapie der unteren Extremitäten einer in dem Rollstuhl sitzenden Person. Um das Trainingsgerät vereinfacht auszubilden, enthält das Trainingsgerät unabhängig von einer Fahrbewegung des Rollstuhls betreibbar eine an dem Gestell befestigbare, von einer Steuereinheit gesteuerte Elektromaschine, welche zur wechselweise erzwungenen Verlagerung der beiden Fußplatten mit den Fußplatten mechanisch gekoppelt ist.
In recent times, enterprises have been increasingly dealing with the use of social media in internal communication and collaboration. In particular, so-called Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) promise meaningful benefits for the nature of work in corporations. However, these platforms often suffer from poor degrees of use. This raises the question of what initiatives enterprise can launch in order to stimulate the vitality of ESN. Since the use of ESN is often voluntary, individual adoption by employees need to be examined to find an answer. Therefore, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was selected for the theoretical foundation of this paper. Following a qualitative research approach, the available research provides an analysis of expert interviews on specific ESN implementation strategies and included factors. In order to extensively conceptualize and generalize these strategic considerations, we conducted an inductive coding process. The results reveal that ESN implementation strategies can be understood as a multi-level construct (individual vs. group vs. organizational level) containing different factors dependent on the degree of documentation and intensity. This research in progress describes a qualitative evaluation as a preliminary study for further quantitative analysis of an ESN adoption model.

IT Governance (ITG) is crucial due to its significant impact on enabling innovation and enhancing firm performance. Hence, in the last decade ITG has become important in both academic and in practical research. Although several studies have investigated individual aspects of ITG success and its impact on single determinants, the causal relationship of how ITG promotes firm performance remains unclear. Thus, a more comprehensive understanding about the link between ITG and firm performance is needed. To address this gap, this research aims at understanding how ITG and firm performance are related. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review (1) to create an overview on how current research structures the link between ITG mechanisms and firm performance, (2) to uncover key constructs as potential mediators or moderators on the general link between ITG and performance, and (3) to set the basis for future studies on the ITG-firm performance relationship.
How to protect the skin from getting sun burnt? The sun can damage your skin e.g. skin cancer. But the sun has a positive effect to the human. The time in sun and the intensity are key values between enjoy the sunbath and having a negative effect to the skin. A smart device like a UV flower could help you to enjoy the sunbath. It measures the UV index around you and gives this information to a smartphone app. The development steps of such a device are described in this paper. The UV flower is made of textile fabrics.
Purpose: Medical processes can be modeled using different methods and notations.Currently used modeling systems like Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) are not capable of describing the highly flexible and variable medical processes in sufficient detail.
Methods: We combined two modeling systems, Business Process Management (BPM) and Adaptive Case Management (ACM), to be able to model non-deterministic medical processes. We used the new Standards Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) and Decision Management Notation (DMN).
Results: First, we explain how CMMN, DMN and BPMN could be used to model non-deterministic medical processes. We applied this methodology to model 79 cataract operations provided by University Hospital Leipzig, Germany, and four cataract operations provided by University Eye Hospital Tuebingen, Germany. Our model consists of 85 tasks and about 20 decisions in BPMN. We were able to expand the system with more complex situations that might appear during an intervention.
Conclusion: An effective modeling of the cataract intervention is possible using the combination of BPM and ACM. The combination gives the possibility to depict complex processes with complex decisions. This combination allows a significant advantage for modeling perioperative processes.
Diese Arbeit liefert einen Konzeptentwurf, der die Integration verschiedener Systeme mit prozessrelevanten klinischen Diensten gewährleistet. Chirurgische Abläufe werden in Form von Prozessen modelliert. Die Wahl der Notation und die Art der Modellierung dieser Prozesse spielt in der heutigen Forschung in diesem Gebiet eine zentrale Rolle. Sind diese Prozesse modelliert, besteht die Möglichkeit, diese in einer Workflow-Engine automatisiert auszuführen. Im Rahmen der Entwicklung eines Workflow-Managment-Systems stellt sich die Frage, wie die Anbindung dieser Workflow-Engine mit anderen Systemen erfolgen soll. In der Arbeit werden Schnittstellen abstrakt in der Web Services Description Language (WSDL) definiert. Darum werden automatisiert Artefakte erzeugt. Auf der Grundlage dieser Artefakte erfolgt die Integration der Systeme. Die Workflow-Engine kommunizieren über SOAP-Nachrichten (Simple Object Access Protocol) mit den entsprechenden Systemen. Dieser Ansatz wurde mithilfe eines Prototyps validiert und umgesetzt.
Introducing continuous experimentation in large software-intensive product and service organisations
(2017)
Software development in highly dynamic environments imposes high risks to development organizations. One such risk is that the developed software may be of only little or no value to customers, wasting the invested development efforts.Continuous experiment ation, as an experiment-driven development approach, may reduce such development risks by iteratively testing product and service assumptions that are critical to the success of the software. Although several experiment-driven development approaches are available, there is little guidance available on how to introduce continuous experimentation into an organization. This article presents a multiple-case study that aims at better understanding the process of introducing continuous experimentation into an organization with an already established development process. The results from the study show that companies are open to adopting such an approach and learning throughout the introduction process. Several benefits were obtained, such as reduced development efforts, deeper customer insights, and better support for development decisions. Challenges included complex stakeholder structures, difficulties in defining success criteria, and building experimen- tation skills. Our findings indicate that organizational factors may limit the benefits of experimentation. Moreover, introducing continuous experimentation requires fundamental changes in how companies operate, and a systematic introduction process can increase the chances of a successful start.
Saving energy and road safety became important in the last decades, hence several driving assistant systems were developed that help to improve the driving behaviour. However, these driving systems cover the area of either energy-efficiency or safety. Furthermore, they do not consider the reaction of the driver to a shown recommendation and the driver stress level. In this paper, the decision process of showing a recommendation to the driver in an energy-efficient and safety relevant driving system is presented. The decision process considers the driver's reaction to a shown recommendation and the driver stress in order to increase the user acceptance and the road safety. The results of the evaluation showed that the driving system was able to show recommendations when needed, while suppressing recommendations when the driver ignored a recommendation repeatedly or when the driver was in stress.
