The concept of an AI assistant for task guidance is rapidly shifting from a science fiction staple to an impending reality. Such a system is inherently complex, requiring models for perceptual grounding, attention, and reasoning, an intuitive interface that adapts to the performer's needs, and the orchestration of data streams from many sensors. Moreover, all data acquired by the system must be readily available for post-hoc analysis to enable developers to understand performer behavior and quickly detect failures. We introduce TIM, the first end-to-end AI-enabled task guidance system in augmented reality which is capable of detecting both the user and scene as well as providing adaptable, just-in-time feedback. We discuss the system challenges and propose design solutions. We also demonstrate how TIM adapts to domain applications with varying needs, highlighting how the system components can be customized for each scenario.

Low-intensity interventions, designed as accessible, scalable, and cost-effective, are increasingly adopted globally to address common mental health problems. Typically, based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), low-intensity interventions emphasise patient self-management techniques, practiced outside of sessions as between-session work (BSW). Although crucial for symptom improvement, task completion remains a challenge, and research on predictors of BSW engagement in low-intensity contexts is limited.

Multivariate time series forecasting (MTSF) is of significant importance in the enhancement and optimization of real-world applications. The task of MTSF poses substantial challenges due to the unpredictability of temporal patterns and the complexity in modeling the influence of all nonpredictive sequences on the target sequence at different time stages. Recent research has demonstrated the potential held by the Transformer algorithm to augment long-term forecasting capability.

This paper presents a Task-Free eye-tracking dataset for Dynamic Point Clouds (TF-DPC) aimed at investigating visual attention. The dataset is composed of eye gaze and head movements collected from 24 participants observing 19 scanned dynamic point clouds in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment with 6 degrees of freedom. We compare the visual saliency maps generated from this dataset with those from a prior task-dependent experiment (focused on quality assessment) to explore how high-level tasks influence human visual attention.

Visual working memory (VWM) is a subject of ongoing debate regarding whether multiple item representations can simultaneously guide attention. The Single Item Template hypothesis (SIT) posits that VWM representations only allow a single item to guide attention, while the Multiple Item Template hypothesis (MIT) suggests that multiple items in VWM representations can guide attention simultaneously. This study further investigates this through a dual-task paradigm.

This document describes the guidance on implementing and monitoring an IQC strategy that fulfills the requirements of the Standard ISO 15189:2022. It also explores the practical application of these principles in daily IQC processes within medical laboratories. The goal is to provide a practical, user-friendly resource that not only explains the Standard's requirements but also equips laboratory professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to enhance diagnostic reliability.
