Summary:博士 === 元智大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 105 === Mobile applications (App) have been increasingly used in telemedicine recently. U.S. FDA suggested that the considerations of human factor engineering should be included during the development of a medically-used App. Since 2009, the lab of medical informatics and telemedicine, Yuan Ze University had developed the first 12-lead ECG telemedicine App, and it is on demand to upgrade to an ergonomics applied App for patients’ safety. In this study, a user centered design based method was applied to design a novel 12-lead ECG app. Two senior cardiologists and one system administrators were interviewed and provided use experiences on previously developed Apps. Based on the considerations of human factors engineering, the risk variables for patients safety were analyzed, and required components of this App and required technology were then determined. In conclusions, this human factor based App can provide clinicians with more convenient manipulation on remote diagnosis with less hazards to patients.
