Hospitals-II

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Hospitals-I

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Area of Science:

Human-Computer Interaction
Computer Science
Ubiquitous Computing

Background:

Indoor navigation in complex buildings like hospitals presents significant wayfinding challenges for users.
Traditional methods such as maps and verbal directions can be inefficient and confusing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a prototype indoor navigation application utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) for improved user guidance.
To assess the usability and user preference of the AR navigation app compared to conventional methods.

Main Methods:

Implementation of an iOS and Android application for indoor navigation within a 690 m2 area.
Conducting a usability test comparing the AR app with maps and verbal directions.

Main Results:

The AR navigation app successfully guided users within the test area.
8 out of 12 users preferred the AR navigation app over traditional map or verbal directions.

Conclusions:

Augmented Reality-based indoor navigation offers a promising solution for enhancing wayfinding in complex environments.
The developed approach has the potential to be scaled to cover significantly larger areas (up to 100,000 m2).
