Remote patient monitoring systems (RPMS) can increase the operational safety in dangerous environments, for example for military personnel during combat. Typically, such systems collect health values of the personnel via sensors. They provide a medical advisor with a user interface (UI) for monitoring these health values. This medical advisor UI aims at facilitating the detection of potentially injured personnel and accelerating their medical treatment. CHEST 2.0 is such a RPMS...

This thesis evaluated the applicability of a context aware user interface that guides factory workers during a manufacturing process.

Cyber-Physical Systems are generating huge amounts of data like sensor observations. This thesis aims to gain insights into these data by providing a generic way to communicate actions in a CPS and visualizing these actions.

This guided research will develop and conduct a field experiment to evaluate different ProGlove user interfaces in practical scenarios.

Environmental conditions have an impact on our health, satisfaction, performance and productivity. Smart buildings allow occupants to gather information about their environment and to influence their indoor environmental quality, e.g. regulating the temperature. Such influences usually affect all occupants...

The logistics domain has been quick to adopt innovation in the past and has reached a high level of automation. Yet, the flexibility and fine motor skills of human workers are still unmatched by machines. While the tools supporting those human workers have improved over time, there are still cases where they are inadequate. Improved tools can reduce stress on workers and allow to redesign existing workflows and clean them from inefficiencies. In a previous work, Scheuermann et al. used electronic textiles to create a replacement for handheld barcode scanners. They combined a smart glove...

Remote Patient Monitoring Systems (RPMSs) connect medical professionals with patients to provide medical services. RPMSs comprise hardware and software components. Hardware components, such as Smart Textiles, wearables, and sensors, transmit vital parameters of patients. Software components, such as the User Interface (UI), often lack usability. The UI should depict these parameters in a medically oriented way to support decision-making of professionals. We focus on RPMSs that humans use for working...
