• Oncology

Background:

• Barriers to point-of-care knowledge source use include complex electronic interfaces and time-consuming retrieval.
• Existing systems often require significant time to master and operate, hindering regular clinical adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a novel three-dimensional (3D) interface for accessing oncology knowledge sources.
• To address the challenge of creating intuitive and fast systems for point-of-care use.

Main Methods:

• Development of a 3D interface prototype for oncology knowledge sources.
• Focus on intuitive design principles to reduce learning and retrieval time.

Main Results:

• The proposed 3D interface aims to be more intuitive and faster than traditional electronic interfaces.
• Potential for increased utilization of oncology knowledge sources at the point of care.

Conclusions:

• Intuitive and fast interfaces are crucial for the regular use of knowledge sources in clinical practice.
• The presented 3D interface offers a promising solution to enhance point-of-care knowledge retrieval in oncology.
