Abstract

An ergonomic design of a user interface which considers human factors is discussed. Based on a model of the anesthesiologist´s monitoring task, the user interface design of an anesthesia decision support system is described as an example. The AIs (anesthesia information system) and to AES-2 its knowledge-based decision support system. The essential aspects of this user interface comprise appropriate information structure, information coding by color and shape, user guidance, and interaction by means of a touch input facility
