A real-time gesture interface for hands-free control of electronic medical records

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2006:2006:920.

Abstract

Whether attempting to review digital radiologic images during a procedure or reviewing labs on a clinical ward, computer keyboards and mice are potential sources for contamination of clinicians during sterile and non-sterile activities related to clinical care. The authors describe and demonstrate a live system prototype for hands-free, gesture-based control of an electronic medical record (EMR) system.
