Key result
The web-based application successfully enabled users to assess biosignals and collaborate with others, achieving a First Meaningful Paint of about 1100 ms and passing all user acceptance tests.
Why the study?
Biosignal-based collaborative research requires accessible tools, but existing software lacks necessary functionality, usability, and ubiquitous availability in restricted environments like hospitals.
The proposed web-based tool enables location-independent, performant visualization and collaborative assessment of multidimensional biosignals like polysomnography without requiring local software installation.
May facilitate remote PSG collaboration without installs; leaves open diagnostic impact pending prospective clinical validation.
Biosignal-based research is often multidisciplinary and benefits greatly from multi-site collaboration. This requires appropriate tooling that supports collaboration, is easy to use, and is accessible. However, current software tools do not provide the necessary functionality, usability, and ubiquitous availability. The latter is particularly crucial in environments, such as hospitals, which often restrict users' permissions to install software. This paper introduces a new web-based application for interactive biosignal visualization and assessment. A focus has been placed on performance to allow for handling files of any size. The proposed solution can load local and remote files. It parses data locally on the client, and harmonizes channel labels. The data can then be scored, annotated, pseudonymized and uploaded to a clinical data management system for further analysis. The data and all actions can be interactively shared with a second party. This lowers the barrier to quickly visually examine data, collaborate and make informed decisions.

Beier et al. (2019) studied Biosignal visualization (n=5). Web-based biosignal visualization and collaboration tool was evaluated on User acceptance and performance. The web-based application successfully enabled users to assess biosignals and collaborate with others, achieving a First Meaningful Paint of about 1100 ms and passing all user acceptance tests.
