METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATION INTERACTION USING GESTURE-BASED INTERACTION ENHANCED WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY

摘要

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for clinical workflow using gesture recognition. Certain embodiments provide a method for gesture-based interaction in a clinical environment. The method includes detecting a gesture made on a sensor surface. The method also includes determining a pressure applied to make the gesture. The method further includes mapping the gesture and the pressure to a healthcare application function. The pressure modifies the healthcare application function corresponding to the gesture. Certain embodiments provide a gesture detection system including a sensor surface configured to detect a gesture made. The system further includes a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure applied when making the gesture on the sensor surface. The system also includes a processor configured to identify the gesture and translate the gesture to a healthcare application function. The pressure modifies the healthcare application function corresponding to the gesture.
