The table below lists the planned outcomes from the
proposed research:
|
Title |
Description |
|
R1: Clinical decision and resources models (Month 9) |
Initial specifications of reasoning models to support
patients and clinicians. |
| R2: Decision cross-cutting concerns model (Month 12) |
Initial modelling of decision multi-dimensional concerns
with reference to model of resources for
decision-support activities. |
|
R3: Initial decision-support system (Month 18) |
Prototype
implementation of the kernel reasoning system, deriving
information form currently available statistical models,
and initial tests of its usability by individual
patients and clinicians. An outcome at this milestone
will be a revised specification of the reasoning models. |
| R4: Initial adaptive user interface prototype) (Month
18) |
Prototype implementation of the adaptive user interface
and initial specification of the usability and
evaluations criteria. |
| R5: 2nd decision-support prototype demonstrator (Month
24) |
Integration of the statistical components for robust
inference of survival, segmentation and visualisation,
in prototype form. An outcome at this milestone will be
a revised specification of the statistical components of
the informatics system. |
| R6: 2nd decision-support prototype demonstrator (Month
24) |
Integration of the self-organising maps and integration
with the decision-support engine. |
R7: Final system demonstrator
(Month 30) |
Integration of the outcomes form the first
three workpackages, namely the core statistical modes,
supervisory reasoning systems and interactive user
interfaces. |
R8: Final performance evaluation
(Month
30) |
Performance evaluation and the development of
appropriate metrics to evaluate the usefulness of
the system for patients and for clinicians. |
R10: Final report listing the following:
(Month 36) |
Composition of the final demonstrator
comprising the outcomes workpackages on reasoning
models, statistical evidence and user interfaces,
Definition of requirements specification for an
integrated informatics system for decision support for
patients and clinicians suitable for a multicentre
trial, and
Specification of evaluation metrics and setting of
performance targets for clinical usefulness. |
