When patients are unwilling to speak openly, therapists miss valuable information and may not be able to provide best possible care. This study investigated the idea of human Digital Twins (DT) of patients and therapists as a novel solution to encourage them to speak openly. We proposed a methodology to create highly realistic human DT using computer vision, 3D scanning, Metahumans tool, and Unreal game engine. Based on this methodology, we created two versions of virtual therapeutic session: a) video-based virtual sessions with real human and b) virtual sessions with DT of patients and therapists. Twelve therapists then were asked to evaluate technology acceptance of each virtual session. Participants reported significantly lower trust to virtual sessions with highly realistic digital human compared to video-based one. Findings from this study may provide insights regarding opportunities and challenges of virtual therapy using highly realistic digital human technologies. This work also contributes to the virtual therapeutic research field by proposing an AI-powered methodology to create human DT of patients and therapists. Further studies are needed to provide more validation of the efficiency of this approach in virtual sessions for mental health support.

Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) are rapidly being adopted in healthcare environments to monitor or track patients, workers, equipment, supplies and more, with numerous studies discussing the impact of this emerging technology. However, a more global view of such studies, those focused on human factors considerations in implementing RTLS is lacking. In response, we present preliminary findings from a rapid scoping review of factors related to implementing RTLS in healthcare environments, with a specific focus on impact to healthcare workers. We conducted keyword searches of databases such as CINAHL, EI Engineering Village, Scopus, IEEE, Web of Science, and several ProQuest journals between July and September 2022. The results were screened to identify results pertaining specifically to the experience of implementing RTLS in recent years. The extracted studies offer insight into the human factors that affect the implementation and use of this technology. Namely, the literature points to undesirable outcomes that occur when organizational efficiency is emphasized over providing demonstrable benefits to workers. Conversely, successful implementations are shown to feature increased worker involvement in the design process and increased communication and training following implementation. Further, the reviewed literature supports the involvement of human factors practitioners in future research activities investigating RTLS implementation and its impact on hospital infrastructure and operations.
实时定位系统（RTLS）正在医疗环境中迅速被采用，用于监测或跟踪患者、工人、设备、用品等，许多研究都在讨论这一新兴技术的影响。然而，缺乏对此类研究的更全球化的看法，即在实施RTLS时关注人为因素的研究。作为回应，我们提出了在医疗环境中实施RTLS相关因素的快速范围审查的初步结果，特别关注对医护人员的影响。2022年7月至9月，我们对CINAHL、EI Engineering Village、Scopus、IEEE、Web of Science和几本ProQuest期刊等数据库进行了关键词搜索。对结果进行了筛选，以确定与近年来实施RTLS的经验具体相关的结果。提取的研究深入了解了影响这项技术实施和使用的人为因素。也就是说，文献指出，当强调组织效率而不是为员工提供可证明的利益时，会出现不理想的结果。相反，成功的实施表明，工人在设计过程中的参与度增加，实施后的沟通和培训也增加。此外，回顾的文献支持人为因素从业者参与未来的研究活动，调查RTLS的实施及其对医院基础设施和运营的影响。

ECRI, a non-profit dedicated to advancing effective, evidence-based healthcare globally, has been evaluating medical devices for over a half century. Project officers develop evaluation criteria and then perform laboratory tests to assess device performance, safety, and reliability. To help incorporate usability assessments into ECRI’s evaluations, a human factors consultant provided guidance on selecting assessment technique(s) based upon the type of device being evaluated, the nature of the environment in which it is used (e.g. operating room, intensive care patient area, nursing station), the target user population, and the resources available to support the evaluation. The consultant also developed a decision-tree to help ECRI project officers select among seven freely-available standardized usability questionnaires.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the main contributor to adult blindness in America. When detected on time, treatment can avoid severe sight loss 95% of the time (Fong et al., 2004). However, only 50% of people with diabetes get screened yearly, making early intervention difficult (Lee, et al., 2003). There is a need to understand how the systems for DR screenings can be designed to comply with the patient's needs, for which it is necessary to understand the user and the factors that affect their behavior. We created a questionnaire from barriers and motivators found in interviews with persons with diabetes regarding their yearly screenings (Salas, et.al., 2022) based on Ajzen’s (2006a) Constructing a Theory of Planned Behavior Questionnaire. The questionnaire measured the influence of attitudes, social norms, and perceived control on screening for DR. This study will add to the current body of literature by helping to identify where to focus efforts when creating systems for DR screening.

We describe a method of selecting and organizing tasks for summative testing of a new mobile health (mHealth) app by older adults. Summative evaluations of mobile health apps often focus on “ease of use” assessed by time to complete tasks and the number of use errors. This is not an optimal approach for older users who are more likely to have slower response times and be less experienced with these technologies. In testing with older users, it is important to incorporate the expected process of learning a new app without the use of training or extensive instructions. We drew on the theories of Mastery Learning, Cognitive Load, and Teach to Goal to inform our selection of tasks and the organization of task scenarios to better simulate the users’ patterns of exploration, learning, and initial use of a mobile app. This research has general relevance for human factors professionals involved in planning, conducting, and reporting the findings from summative evaluations for a broad range of mHealth apps and user groups.

Clinicians increasingly rely on technology designed for efficiency, ease of use, and patient safety; this is especially true for large volume infusion pumps. Drug Error Reduction Systems administered via smart infusion pumps offer beneficial safety options for intravenous medication administration, though they may increase complexity. Fort HealthCare successfully implemented smart pump technology designed by a new vendor (Ivenix, Inc.), including eventual integration with the electronic health record, in an expedited timeline through continual collaboration with key stakeholders and ongoing quality improvement.

As COVID-19 cases continue to be prevalent, at-home testing for the illness will continue to be in demand. At-home testing is convenient as results are obtained quickly and often at a lower cost. This study utilized Nielsen’s Ten Usability Heuristics to evaluate at-home COVID-19 test kits, with consideration given to older users when applicable. Understanding whether users can correctly use and interpret these tests is critical to ensure the kits provide accurate results and to ensure user trust. Results of our analysis showed that there is a need for at-home COVID-19 test kits to improve the way results are presented and implement more error prevention techniques. In regards to older users, the kits would benefit from clearing up ambiguities which require reference materials, accommodating users with contrast sensitivity difficulties, and ensuring that the test kit products are easy to manually handle. While the kits have acceptable usability, improvements to the usability of COVID-19 at-home test kits will lead to lower user errors and improved result accuracy.

This paper investigates the relationship between knowledge of baseline heart rate and shock recognition in pediatric patients. Through surveying attending physicians and advanced practice providers using a prospective survey tool, we demonstrate that providers are more likely to accurately identify shock when there is knowledge of the patient’s baseline heart rate. These preliminary findings have the potential to inform changes to documentation and the electronic health record (EHR) to make this information more accessible, while also informing future studies aimed at improving clinical outcomes for these high-risk patients.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has required everyone to understand and respond to the ever-evolving threats during daily life. The overall goal of our work is to develop a system based on an interactive conversational agent that functions as a ‘risk counselor’ by providing personalized information to people who have concerns about the risk of COVID infection when participating in daily situations. Such a system could also be useful for people who have concerns about other kinds of infection (e.g., HIV), and more broadly, risk in other domains (e.g., radon exposure in the home). As an initial step, we conducted MTurk surveys to elicit people’s concerns about COVID risk in daily situations. A key takeaway from this study is that when designing an agent, there needs to be a better framing of risk-related recommendations about daily situations, which may be particularly effective for educating people about the risk and encouraging actions that address risk. This framing should also address diverse user goals, including emotional responses, uncertainty, planning, and opinions about these situations.

It is necessary to educate medical students to prepare them for the healthcare world they will enter upon completion of their training. This pertains to not only the content of the education, but also the experiences during the instruction, and the application of the learning. However, during their time in training, a student will likely not encounter all the ailments that they will while working. This means that their education should be supplemented to help them be better prepared. We propose augmented reality (AR) virtual patients as a method to assist in the delivery of this supplementation. This paper’s focus is on enhancing the usefulness of AR by providing learners with interactions with a variety of virtual patients. The target audience for this topic includes medical educators, medical school students, residents, educators interested in AR, and designers of educational AR systems. The mentioned topics can even apply to continuing education or refresher courses for physicians. A review of aspects that can allow AR to be more immersive and beneficial to those learning about various ailments is provided. Elements of AR for medical education training are discussed to enhance the relevance and applicability of the learning experience. These include presenting multiple simultaneous ailments and the ability to modify AR patient characteristics, which can be accomplished more quickly and with more possibilities than when using manikins.
