Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Patient data management systems (PDMS) rely heavily on keyboard interfaces.
  • Current Hewlett-Packard (HP) PDMS keyboards have 16 keys, requiring shift combinations for functions, slowing data entry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop an improved keyboard for the HP PDMS.
  • To enhance user efficiency and data entry speed for healthcare professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Designed and constructed a 32-key keyboard.
  • Ensured backward compatibility with the existing HP PDMS and its software.

Main Results:

  • The 32-key keyboard provides single-keystroke access to all PDMS functions.
  • The new keyboard is fully compatible with existing HP PDMS hardware and software.

Conclusions:

  • The 32-key keyboard offers significant advantages for HP PDMS users.
  • This device presents a functional and updated replacement for current keyboards, improving workflow.
