Designing a Multi-Layered Image Viewer

Paper in proceeding, 2004

This study was performed at the Clinic of Oral Medicine at Sahlgrenska university hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. The focus of the study was to create a better system for handling images of the oral mucosa. The main goal was to determine if multi-layer design is a good method for this purpose. An interview session was performed to get a solid knowledge base of the users skills and needs. Based on the interviews and the methodology for multi-layer design a prototype was created. Seven different layers were put together and the basic were listed. The prototype uses an existing data source for images and patient data. In the work with the prototype the method has proven to be very useful so far. To prove the methodology further, several evaluations have to be performed and the prototype needs to be more thoroughly tested.
