Although database-based medical information systems are becoming popular, experiments done by researchers tell us that physicians still do not fully accept them. Key factors for changing physicians' practice habits are the availability of more powerful methods and tools for interactive data acquisition and retrieval. Problems involving human engineering usually require the identification of and experimentation with many novel approaches before the most suitable answer is discovered. ARPIA is an ambulatory information system experimenting on the effectiveness and acceptability (by medical users) of new intelligent and friendly interaction techniques and tools. In particular, it tests a novel flexible dialogue-based man-machine interface offering physical and logical data 'independence' during retrieval operations. Other features of the system are: a fast and robust data acquisition environment; a text- and picture-based data presentation and report generation facility; finally, a set of modules offering the ambulatory staff effective assistance in some extra complex interactive tasks. A user-oriented description of the main functionality of ARPIA is given; users' feedback summarizing almost 2 years of usage of the system is also reported.
