OBJECTIVES We describe the development of a mobile computing platform (MCP) with a decision support module (DSM) for patients in our coagulation-based hemotherapy service. METHODS The core of our MCP consists of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet template used to gather and compute data on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients intraoperatively. The DSM is embedded into the Excel file, where the us...

The objective of this paper was to develop a means of rapidly obtaining RGB image data, as part of an effort to develop a low-cost method of image processing and analysis based on Microsoft Excel. A simple standalone GUI (graphical user interface) software application called RGBExcel was developed to extract RGB image data from any colour image files of any format. For a given image file, the o...

Providing tools that make visualization authoring accessible to visualization non-experts is a major research challenge. Currently the most common approach to generating a visualization is to use software that quickly and automatically produces visualizations based on templates. However, it has recently been suggested that constructing a visualization with tangible tiles may be a more accessibl...

This paper shows the capability of current spreadsheets to define, analyse and optimise models of systems and processes. Specifically, the Microsoft spreadsheet, Excel®, is used with its built-in solver, to analyse and to optimise systems and processes of medium complexity whose mathematical models are expressed by means of non-linear systems of equations. Two hydraulic and thermal engineering-...

Computer-intensive resampling/bootstrap methods are feasible when calculating reference intervals from non-Gaussian or small reference samples. Microsoft Excel® in version 2010 or later includes natural functions, which lend themselves well to this purpose including recommended interpolation procedures for estimating 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles. 
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reade...

The OMAHA System was adopted as the documentation system in an interventional study. To systematically record client care and facilitate data analysis, two Office Excel files were developed. The first Excel file (File A) was designed to record problems, care procedure, and outcomes for individual clients according to the OMAHA System. It was used by the intervention nurses in the study. The sec...
