HYPERMEDIA INTELLIGENT BREAST CANCER INFORMATION SYSTEM

我们提出了一个低成本的商业智能超媒体信息系统 教育病人和公众有关乳腺癌的知识。用户 以系统为中心的设计，注重从患者的角度看领域 或潜在患者的观点，是我们方法的核心。 显然，乳腺癌教育的必要性是显而易见的。约18.2万名女性 今年仅在美国就会被诊断出患有乳腺癌。 患者--以及普通公众--想要信息。医生和护士都是 时间紧迫，出于各种原因，可能无法提供 个人可能想要或需要的所有信息。 我们提案中的一项技术创新是用户- 以商业医疗信息为中心的系统设计 系统。第二个是使用认知模型来理解病人。 和感知的关于乳腺癌及其治疗的信息需求 开发医学模型之间接口的深层结构 和用户。

We propose a low-cost commercial intelligent hypermedia information system to educate patients and the general public about breast cancer. User centered system design, focusing on seeing the domain from the patient's or potential patient's point of view, is central to our approach. The need for breast cancer education evident. About 182 thousand women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in the United States alone. Patients-and the general public-want information. Doctors and nurses are pressed for time, and for any number of reasons may not be able to provide all of the information an individual may want or need. One technological innovation in our proposal is the application of user- centered system design to a commercially available medical information system. A second is the use of cognitive models of patients' understanding and perceived information needs regarding breast cancer and its treatments to develop the deep structure of the interface between the medical model and the user.
