Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional software development requires specialized programming skills, creating a barrier for many medical professionals.
  • Visual programming languages (VPLs) offer an alternative by using graphical interfaces for software creation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the utility of visual programming languages for medical software development.
  • To describe the creation of a specific medical application using a VPL.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a visual programming paradigm where users "draw" the computer interface.
  • Attached code segments to interface elements like buttons and menus.
  • Developed the software for DOS or Windows operating systems, supporting various input/output devices.
