Medical aerosol inhalers are the most commonly used means of drug delivery into the human respiratory system. This paper focuses on characteristic waveforms that can be utilised during aerosol deposition studies to simulate conditions of rapid human inhalation. Additionally, an inhalatory waveform based on clinically recorded spirometry data is introduced. Experimental measurements are performed and simulation results mutually compared using the electro-mechanical lung simulator xPULM. The inhalatory waveforms are repeatably simulated with high fidelity in regards to the waveform shape with the lowest value of the Goodness of fit 0.89. Additionally, the measured values for all characteristic inhalatory parameters are simulated with low standard deviation < 1. The differences between the required and measured waveform shapes are small, < 3 L/min and do not influence the overall inhalatory volume. This opens a possibility of utilising the xPULM for medical aerosol inhalers testing.}, subject = {Breathing Simulation}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PastekaForjan, author = {Pasteka, Richard and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {Changes of particle deposition caused by different breathing patterns during active lung simulation}, series = {41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC)}, booktitle = {41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC)}, abstract = {Aerosols are an integral part of everyday life and as such are inhaled under various conditions and circumstances. These may vary based on the health and activity status of an individual. The aim of this work is to analyse the particle deposition mechanisms during the simulation of three different breathing patterns using an aerosol representing the PM1 fraction of fine particles. The active electro-mechanical lung simulator xPULM is utilized as a driving force and is combined with a non-invasive direct reading optical aerosol measurement system. Results show differences between the number of deposited particles for the three breathing patterns and for the three typical size ranges of airborne particles. Overall, the presented approach demonstrates the possibility of determining the changes of aerosol uptake based on different breathing patterns using the electro-mechanical lung simulator and laboratory produced aerosols. Further measurement cycles must be performed in order to validate the found interactions and to characterize the major influencing parameters.}, subject = {Biomedical Engineering, Breathing simulation}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DavidForjanPaštěkaetal., author = {David, Veronika and Forjan, Mathias and Paštěka, Richard and Scherer, Matthias and Hofst{\"a}tter, Otto}, title = {Development of a Multi-Purpose Easy-to-Use Set of Tools for Home Based Rehabilitation}, series = {DSAI 2018 - 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion}, booktitle = {DSAI 2018 - 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion}, subject = {Rehabitation}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PastekaForjanDavid, author = {Pasteka, Richard and Forjan, Mathias and David, Veronika}, title = {A Single Point of Contact Data Platform for Rehabilitative Exercises and Equipment}, series = {DSAI 2018 - 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion}, booktitle = {DSAI 2018 - 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion}, subject = {Telemedicine}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PastekaForjanSauermann, author = {Pasteka, Richard and Forjan, Mathias and Sauermann, Stefan}, title = {Development of a multidisciplinary and telemedicine focused system database}, series = {Health Informatics meets eHealth.

Objectives: Novel and mostly mobile devices are already in use, but shall be used in the future to a higher extent for allowing at home rehabilitation processes at a high quality level. The combination of exercises, assessments and available equipment is the basic objective of the presented database. Methods: The database has been structured in order to allow easy-to-use and fast access for the three main user groups. Therapists - looking for exercise and equipment combinations - patients - rechecking their tasks for home exercises - and manufacturers - entering their equipment for specific use cases. Results: The database has been evaluated by a proof of concept study and shows a high degree of applicability for the field of rehabilitative medicine. Currently it contains 110 exercises/assessments and 111 equipment/systems. Conclusion: Foundations of presented database are already established in the rehabilitative field of application, but can and will be enhanced in its functionality to be usable for a higher variety of medical fields and specificatios.}, subject = {telemedicine}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HerzogSauermannMenseetal., author = {Herzog, Juliane and Sauermann, Stefan and Mense, Alexander and Forjan, Mathias and Urbauer, Philipp}, title = {Development of Knowledge Profiles for International eHealth eLearning Courses}, series = {Proceedings of Medical Informatics in Europe (MIE 2015) - Digital Healthcare Empowering Europeans}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Medical Informatics in Europe (MIE 2015) - Digital Healthcare Empowering Europeans}, subject = {Knowledge Profiles}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrohnerUrbauerForjanetal., author = {Frohner, Matthias and Urbauer, Philipp and Forjan, Mathias and Pohn, Birgit and Gerbovics, Ferenc and Sauermann, Stefan and Mense, Alexander}, title = {Development of an Android App in compliance with the Continua Health Alliance Design Guidelines for medical device connectivity in mHealth}, series = {46th annual conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering(BMT 2012)}, booktitle = {46th annual conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering(BMT 2012)}, pages = {1051 -- 1053}, subject = {App development}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PastekaForjan, author = {Pasteka, Richard and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {Changes of particle deposition caused by different breathing patterns during active lung simulation}, series = {41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2019}, booktitle = {41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2019}, organization = {IEEE}, pages = {4969 -- 4972}, subject = {Lung Simulation}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DrauschkeRankAueretal., author = {Drauschke, Andreas and Rank, Elisabet and Auer, Silke and Forjan, Mathias and Traxler, Lukas}, title = {Mechanical eye model for the comparison of optical imaging quality and physiology of human vision}, series = {Proceedings of the 46th annual conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 46th annual conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering}, pages = {305 -- 308}, subject = {Mechanical Eye}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WagnerJankBalzetal., author = {Wagner, Fabian and Jank, Miran and Balz, Andrea and Forjan, Mathias and Urbauer, Philipp}, title = {Immersive Spatial Planning in Healthcare: Developing a Pipeline to Automatically Convert Computer Aided DesignData to Virtual Reality}, series = {dHealth 2023, 17th Annual Conference on Health Informatics meets Digital Health}, volume = {301}, booktitle = {dHealth 2023, 17th Annual Conference on Health Informatics meets Digital Health}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3233/shti230019}, pages = {96 -- 101}, abstract = {Equipping rooms used for medical purposes, like e.g., intensive care units, is an expensive and time-consuming task. In order to avoid extensive subsequent adjustments due to inappropriate layout visualization or geometric conditions difficult to identify in 2D plans, it is of utmost importance to provide an optimal planning environment to future users such as physicians and nurses. In this paper we present the concept of a fully automatized pipeline, which is designed to visualize computer aided design (CAD) data using virtual reality (VR). The immersive VR experience results in improvement of efficiency in the decision- making process during the planning phase due to better spatial imagination. The pipeline was successfully tested with CAD data from existing Intensive Care Units. The results indicate that the pipeline can be a valuable tool in the field of spatial planning in healthcare, due to simple usage and fast conversion of CAD data. The next step will be the development of a plugin for CAD tools to allow for interactions with the CAD models in Virtual Reality, which is not yet possible without manual intervention}, subject = {Virtual Reality}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JankWagnerUrbaueretal., author = {Jank, Miran and Wagner, Fabian and Urbauer, Philipp and Balz, Andrea and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {Extended Reality Solutions in Medical Context and Educational Approaches}, series = {Healthcare Transformation with Informatics and Artificial Intelligence / 21th International Conference on Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare}, booktitle = {Healthcare Transformation with Informatics and Artificial Intelligence / 21th International Conference on Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare}, publisher = {iOS Press}, doi = {10.3233/SHTI230548}, pages = {521 -- 524}, abstract = {The healthcare sector is growing in importance as people continue to age and pandemics complicate the boundary conditions of such systems.
