Pier79 – H-Compass meeting #6

Outcome of the Hackathon

• List of bug-fixes of the current visual-only system• List of possible solutions we thought of• Evaluation of the impact of the possible

solutions. Experiment on a few volunteers (~10-20 people) on test route (any building)

• Implementation of one of the possible solutions (database-independent)

• Proposal of step-by-step implementation and impact evaluation at HUG.

List• Visual-only ideas

– Bug-fix current system ( improve coherence )• (HUG-specific)

– Big map @ entrance– Small maps @ critical points

• Visual+common device @ entrance/critical points– Patient barcode scan -> print instructions– Select department -> print instructions– Select room -> print instructions ? (at the help desk?)

• Visual+personal device– Scan barcode/select department/select room -> show instructions + add photos of

the itinerary (google-maps-itinerary-like)– Scan sign (door number/small map/ combination of lines) show position on map

and/or show an arrow on the scanned sign

• Personal device only– Electromagnetic fingerprint– Lines with pattern recognizable by device

Bug fix/improve current system

Green lift

Green lift


Orange?

Paint doors orangeOnly for doors to be used by out-patients/visitors


^ Batiment A3 Add info on vertical signs that relates to the horitzontal signs (lines)


Use more distinguishable colors?

Big map @ entranceGoal is to “teach” visitors of the structure of the building and the color-code being used.

Example:

Small map @ critical pointsShow closest lift, toilet, info desk, exit

If you had introduced a destination, show the direction to go

Follow black arrow

Smartphone -> where am I, where I goPrint “compass” on the floor. Look at it through a smartphone and it will overlay an arrow to the compass image indicating direction to go

Lines with patterns

• “green line” can be made of squares, circles etc depending on the floor/corridor/building…

How many different shapes can be used / recognised by:- Human- device

Evaluation

• Identify current problems– Survey among workers / users?

• Experiment with possible improvements• Implement and test

Feedback from users

• We cannot improve the navigation in the hospital if we are not able to quantify how good/bad is the current navigation.

• Feedback from users should come in a continuous way, providing a control loop for the project development.

Feedback from users

• Voting Systems

Feedback from users

• Button – up approach– Users should be able to participate by giving

ideas, and identifying navigation problems

We could use the feedback system to rate and

also to let users participate with new ideas and comments.
