Prototyping a Mobile AR Based Multi-user Guide System for Yuanmingyuan Garden

Background. Timely pulmonary function testing is crucial to improving diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. Perceptions of poor access at an academic pulmonary function laboratory prompted analysis of system demand and capacity to identify factors contributing to poor access.Methods. Surveys and interviews identified stakeholder perspectives on operational processes and access challenges. Retrospective data on testing demand and resource capacity was analyzed to understand utilization of testing resources.Results. Qualitative analysis demonstrated that stakeholder groups had discrepant views on access and capacity in the laboratory. Mean daily resource utilization was 0.64 (SD 0.15), with monthly average utilization consistently less than 0.75. Reserved testing slots for subspecialty clinics were poorly utilized, leaving many testing slots unfilled. When subspecialty demand exceeded number of reserved slots, there was sufficient capacity in the pulmonary function schedule to accommodate added demand. Findings were shared with stakeholders and influenced scheduling process improvements.Conclusion. This study highlights the importance of operational data to identify causes of poor access, guide system decision-making, and determine effects of improvement initiatives in a variety of healthcare settings. Importantly, simple operational analysis can help to improve efficiency of health systems with little or no added financial investment.

In this paper, a design and an implementation on an intelligent guide system based on Android platform is proposed. The hardware of system is based on ARM platform, and the schematics of its main modules such as power, SDRAM are given. Then Android operation system is transplanted on the ARM platform. On this basis, the application software is developed using Eclipse and Android SDK, and it is consisted of three modules: multimedia application, web maps and recording. The module of multimedia application includes audio, picture and video. Web maps can display Google Maps on the device and achieve positioning. The record module has implemented the several normal operation on a record, such as creating, modifying and displaying.
