Introduction

Team PIVOTAL is a group of five masters students in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. The unique backgrounds and experiences of each team member provide the advantage of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the problem space. This capstone project constitutes the culmination of our studies. In association with GE Healthcare, we are in the process of researching, designing and developing a patient information view (PIV) application. This application is meant to serve doctors and other healthcare practitioners who need a quick and easy way to get a complete picture of patient information.
