Computer Use
Published in Céline McKeown, Office Ergonomics and Human Factors, 2018
All-in-one computers are desktop units where everything except the keys and mouse is located within the housing of a flat screen. They are particularly suited to multimedia and graphic arts production or 3D modelling and rendering.

This study was completed to obtain empirical evidence regarding provider preference and performance differences when using a more tangible and interchangeable exam room layout. An additional aim was to support the notion that a redesigned exam room layout has various benefits for the provider-patient relationship. To do this, we designed and conducted a study comparing two layouts (current version ‘A’ vs new version ‘B’). The former had a desktop computer, placed in the corner of the room (Figure 1), while the latter included an all-in-one computer attached to a wall-mounted armature system that was adjustable along three axes (Figure 2), making it easier for providers to achieve an ‘open’ position (McGrath et al., 2007). Layout A, with the computer monitor placed on a desk in a corner of the room, is a typical arrangement in practice, especially when computers were initially introduced into exam rooms (Frankel & Saleem, 2013; Frankel et al., 2005). The impact of the placement of exam room computers on provider-patient communication, both verbal and non-verbal, was not considered in many cases (McGrath et al., 2007), resulting in a convenience-based placement of the computer (e.g., by the nearest electrical outlet). Based upon the flexibility and maneuverability offered by the set-up in the new layout, we expected layout B to result in greater efficiency and accuracy, increased evidence of patient centeredness, better alignment with the providers' clinical workflow, enhanced perceived situation awareness, and a decrease in perceived workload.
TeleBCI: remote user training, monitoring, and communication with an evoked-potential brain-computer interface

The device was also cumbersome, with many peripheral components compared to – for example – an all-in-one eye tracking AAC solution. Size reduction could be accomplished by exchanging the floor/table mount with a wheelchair attachment, and eliminating the need for two screens by utilizing an all-in-one model with integrated touchscreen. Gaze tracking was only peripherally utilized in this study as a dual measure of device setup proficiency and to monitor the visual attention of the user during the task. As deployed in non-patient settings, eye tracking, could be incorporated into the classification of communication intent through a hybrid BCI system [34,35]. Single monitor solutions with integrated eye tracking would also likely reduce the complexity of setup.
