Mobile Virtual Reality Mine Safety Training iPad Prototype

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 10/05/2011 | Platform: iOS | Version: 1.0

Tablet-based Immersive Mine Safety Training

The CDC Informatics R&D Lab has collaborated with NIOSH (CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) in areas related to mobile applications that support the Institute’s Occupational Health objectives. For example, one such effort yielded a prototype that is a mobile device interface to the NIOSH Personal Protection Technology Laboratory’s Certified Equipment List data collection. More information on this prototype can be found here. In addition, the application can be directly downloaded to an iOS-based device from our App Lab here.

Situation Awareness Dashboard

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 7/14/2011 | Platform: Web | Version: Pre-alpha

Interactive Dashboard Supporting Situational Awareness Requirements

The Situation Awareness Dashboard prototype has been designed by the Informatics R&D Lab team as a comprehensive tool which can provide critical information to the Situation Awareness Section within the CDC. The Situation Awareness Dashboard is designed to be a scalable, modular, and customizable web application. Its dashboard interface supplies a variety of high-level information at a glance, and allows the user to drill down into more detail. The current visual prototype consists of a series of non-functional, full resolution screen mockups. Subsequent phases will include the development of a functional prototype.

PHTweet

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 7/07/2011 | Platform: Web | Version: 1.0

Social Media and Situational Awareness: Monitoring the Twitter Stream for Public Health-Related Trends.

PHTweet is a web application prototype created by the Informatics R&D Lab team to monitor the Twitter stream for a specified set of public health terms. This project helps with situational awareness needs by leveraging the ubiquity of this social medium to survey public health-related trends. The user has several options for how he/she would like to view the Twitter data: Bubble View, Graph View, or Relationship View. Additionally, there are temporal options for displaying the data: daily, hourly, or in 2-week periods (the temporal options depend upon the selected view).

Public Health Information eXchange (PHIX)

Project Type: Pilot Prototype | Start Date: 11/17/2011 | Platform: Web | Version: 1.2.0.1

Public Health Information eXchange (PHIX) Pilot Project

The CDC PHITPO sponsored Public Health Information eXchange pilot project provides access to an information exchange solution designed to assist clinical care and public health partners with preparing and communicating quality, standards based electronic messages as defined by the applicable laboratory, surveillance and immunization use case and messaging standards.

NIOSH Facepiece Respirator Guide for iPhone

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 3/1/2011 | Platform: iOS | Version: 1.0

NIOSH Facepiece Respirator Guide for iPhone

The goal of this prototype has been to collaborate with the The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to develop a moble app for the iPhone (and eventually other devices) that can serve as a resource for those who want to quickly and easily explore the database of all NIOSH-approved particulate filtering facepice respirators.

Prolonged PTT Advisor for the iOS Platform

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 4/1/2011 | Platform: iOS | Version: 1.0

Prolonged PTT Advisor for the iPhone

The prototype is a smartphone application (for the iOS platform) to assist clinical providers with management of patients requiring complex coagulation testing, which when misused can result in adverse patient outcomes. The application leverages five coagulation testing algorithms.

SAMWise+

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 2/05/2010 | Platform: Web | Version: 1.0

Health Literacy Index Web Tool

The goal of this prototype has been to work with subject matter experts to ultimately create a digital version of a Health Literacy Index (HLI). As an intermediate step to creating an HLI, a digital tool, Samwise+, has been created based on the Suitiablity Assessment of Materials (SAM) tool. SAMWise+ has the potential to be an important step forward, has it encourages individuals to use a scoring tool, other than readability formulas. One other core goal is to scan existing literature to identify which of the SAM criteria can be automated/digitized and if so, the level of effort necessary to automate the scoring.

Public Health News

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 11/15/2010 | Platform: Web | Version: 1.0

Treemap Representation of Public Health Related News

Inspired by http://newsmap.jp, this app uses the Google News API to visualize public health related news according to relevance.

MMWR for the iPad

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 12/10/2010 | Platform: iOS | Version: 1.0

MMWR Reading App for the iPad

The goal of this prototype has been to examine existing MMWR content, and structure the content to best fit the iOS iPad platform. You can see from the screenshots that two prototypes were created- one that focuses on a standard method for displaying content - while the other prototype leverages a novel map-based navigation interface.

2010 STD Treatment Guidelines for iPhone

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 1/15/2011 | Platform: iOS | Version: 1.0

STD Treatment Guidelines App for the iPhone

The goal of this prototype has been to collaborate with CDC's STD team to develop a mobile app for the iPhone (and eventually other devices) that can serve as a reference for doctors and related parties on the identification of and treatment regimen for STDs.

ATSDR ToxGuide for the iOS Platform

Project Type: Prototype | Start Date: 7/15/2010 | Platform: iOS | Version: 1.0

Toxic Substance Quick Reference Guides for the iPhone

The ATSDR ToxGuides^TM are quick reference guides providing information such as chemical and physical properties, sources of exposure, routes of exposure, minimal risk levels, children's health, and health effects. The ToxGuides also discuss how the substance might interact in the environment. The ToxGuides were developed by the ATSDR Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine. Information is excerpted from the corresponding toxicological profiles.
