Short descriptionIntuitive Workflow Tools is a modular suite of display-based workflow features for Barco medical displays. Delivered via Barco medical display controllers, the software helps clinicians tailor on-screen presentation and interaction per user and modality to support diagnostic reading, review and collaboration.
Key messages / Value proposition- Improve focus on diagnostically relevant regions of interest.
- Increase display flexibility with configurable tools and user profiles.
- Reduce distraction and eye strain through targeted luminance and ambient controls.
Integration and compatibilityPackaged and deployed through Barco medical display controllers embedded in supported Barco displays. Intuitive Workflow Tools supports clinical domains including radiology, mammography/breast imaging, digital pathology, clinical review imaging and dentistry.
What it does (overview)Provides a configurable collection of on-screen tools that can be enabled per user or per modality. Tools assist clinicians by highlighting regions of interest, adapting luminance/contrast and color rendering for tasks, managing multiple inputs or virtual displays, and facilitating capture or sharing of results.
Included / highlighted workflow tools- SpotView — highlight a selected region by increasing luminance/contrast inside it while dimming the surrounding area to focus attention.
- DimView — automatically dim auxiliary displays when the cursor is moved away to reduce distraction.
- I-Luminate — boost display brightness to make small details easier to spot.
- FocalPath — pathology-focused tool to concentrate the viewing area for digital pathology tasks.
- Profiles (User profiles) — create and switch custom profiles per user or modality.
- VirtualView — create a virtual display area to present additional content without extra hardware.
- Application Appearance Manager — set different luminance or color profiles per application window (e.g., reduce brightness for EMR while keeping diagnostic viewer luminance).
- SingleView — present dual inputs as a single desktop to eliminate tearing across the display center.
- Clearbase / Bluebase — select preferred color temperature modes for viewing comfort.
- CloneView / Conference CloneView / Multi-Display Confer — clone or share screens for meetings or remote collaboration while preserving pixel precision.
- FilmClip — simulate a lightbox region on-screen for viewing film images digitally.
- SoftGlow — ambient desk/wall lighting to reduce eye strain when using bright displays in dark reading environments.
- SmartCursor and Find Cursor — improved cursor mapping and quick-locate functions across multi-head setups.
- Screenshot — capture and share screenshots including active workflow overlays.
- Display Partitioner — split one input into two halves for side-by-side workflows.
How they help (workflows & outcomes)These tools aim to reduce reading time, improve focus on diagnostic information, enable reproducible viewing conditions and simplify switching between tailored display settings. They support both individual diagnostic workflows (profiles, SpotView, I-Luminate) and collaborative or presentation workflows (CloneView, Multi-Display Confer, FilmClip).
