Application of leading edge technology has always been associated with medical science, research, and the practice of medicine. In recent years, this has included the introduction of robotic technologies and other, computerized, interactive, screen-based technologies in the surgical environment. This is a trend that will continue for many years to come with wide sweeping implications for hospitals, patients, medical staff and manufacturers of these products.
The surgical suite is a very unique and increasingly crowded environment. The members of the surgical team, assorted technicians and manufacturer’s representatives, the patient, the tools and equipment all require adequate space to perform their functions in this highly choreographed atmosphere. Traffic flow has to be maintained in the room and around the patient and equipment, yet mobility is extremely limited. The sterile field has to be maintained at all costs. Precision, accuracy and timing are critical. The surgical team needs clear, unobstructed access to the patient, the tools, and the technology assisting in the procedure.
In many ways, the introduction of computerized, interactive, screen-based technologies and surgical robots has improved the quality of care – particularly with regard to accuracy and precision – for the patient. This leads to smaller incisions, faster healing, and lowered risk of surgical errors and medical malpractice. It has also lead to a more complex work environment for the surgical team. Every member of the surgical team is already fully committed in one way or another without the addition of computers, monitors, robots, etc. Surgeons need both hands to perform surgery, handle cutting tools and retractors, manipulate patient anatomy, etc. Nurses and anesthesiologists are equally busy doing their jobs. Interacting with a mouse and keyboard, a joystick, touch screen or a PDA often isn’t an option. Foot pedals are generally impractical as well and they offer a very limited interaction model. All of these issues have to be considered by the design team.
There’s another big consideration as well: when advanced, interactive technology is introduced into a surgical environment, who is the user? Who are we designing for? The surgeon? Another member of the surgical team? A technician trained to operate the equipment? The patient? What if the answer is all of the above? How does that impact the design of the interface and overall user experience?
Additional complexity for the design team arises in designing interfaces that appropriately guide the surgical team, document and record all associated activities (pre-op, operative and post-op) while maintaining legal compliance associated with patient privacy laws.
Echo Visualization, LLC discuss and identify many of the challenges we have encountered while working in this environment as researchers and designers.

Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/43qJKwn
Data-led transformations are becoming more prevalent in recent years, across numerous industries. More and more senior leaders are looking for data to drive their business decisions and impact their bottom line. One key challenge facing such businesses is the ability to pivot to new technologies while maintaining investments in legacy systems they have grown to rely on. In an age where automation, internet-scale search, and advanced analytics are driving many new advances, it is important to understand that this is not only a pivot in terms of technologies, it is a pivot in terms of how we think about and utilize data of different types. Traditional systems since the 1970’s have been built around database concepts where data is physically pipelined, mapped together, statically modeled, and locked away in vaults. The types of vaults have evolved over time from basic databases, to data warehouses, to data lakes, to lake houses, and so on.
The fundamental premise remains: data is placed into sealed containers, such that the critical approach is around storage, instead of being aimed at retrieval. Reversing this approach can, instead, lead to understanding data as transient, on-demand, and immediately available to end users within a certain context. This talk will discuss certain contemporary concepts that are expanding the notion of data storage devices and, instead, are moving to loosely connected data retrieval devices, or in some cases, data generation devices. We will examine this shift in approach and what it means for designing and deploying new types of technologies that can be more flexible and provide improved business value for clients in the fast-paced evolving world of Artificial Intelligence.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
