UI Profiles: A Key to Mitigating Human Induced Risks in the Open Integrated Digital OR

EPiC series in health sciences, vol. 7, pp. 242–237

Abstract

Human Risk management poses a challenge for an open integration of medical devices in digital operating rooms according to the ISO IEEE 11073 SDC standard. A User Interface Profile has the potential to improve safety and usability, which defines the HMI characteristics of a medical device in an ensemble, aligning with ISO 14971 and IEC 62366-1 standards. We discuss applications in orthopedics, highlighting UI Profiles' potential to mitigate human-induced and process-related risks.
