How might healthcare workers (HCWs) leverage augmented reality head-mounted displays (AR-HMDs) to enhance teamwork? Although AR-HMDs have shown immense promise in supporting teamwork in healthcare settings, design for Emergency Department…
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that variation in care coordination is related to LOS. DESIGN We applied a spectral co-clustering methodology to simultaneously infer groups of patients and care coordination patterns, in the form of…
Hospital profiling involves a comparison of a health care provider's structure, processes of care, or outcomes to a standard, often in the form of a report card. Given the ubiquity of report cards and similar consumer ratings in…
When faced with complex and uncertain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, mental health conditions, recovery from substance dependency), millions of patients seek online peer support. In this study, we leverage content analysis of online…
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled unprecedented capabilities, yet innovation teams struggle when envisioning AI concepts. Data science teams think of innovations users do not want, while domain experts think of…
Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning agents that act on partial local observations face a fundamental information bottleneck: the knowledge needed to select jointly optimal actions is scattered across the team, yet each agent must…
Research with dementia caregivers poses persistent methodological and ethical challenges, particularly when interview-based studies are designed without sufficient grounding in lived caregiving realities. Questions framed through clinical…
AI-enabled decision-support systems aim to help medical providers rapidly make decisions with limited information during medical emergencies. A critical challenge in developing these systems is supporting providers in interpreting the…
Patient-generated health data (PGHD) allows healthcare professionals to have a holistic and objective view of their patients. However, its integration in cardiac risk reduction remains unexplored. Through co-design with experienced…
Online health communities offer the promise of support benefits to users, in particular because these communities enable users to find peers with similar experiences. Building mutually supportive connections between peers is a key…
With advanced AI/ML, there has been growing research on explainable AI (XAI) and studies on how humans interact with AI and XAI for effective human-AI collaborative decision-making. However, we still have a lack of understanding of how AI…
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, including in caring for cancer survivors, has gained significant interest. However, gaps remain in our understanding of how such AI systems can provide care, especially for ethnic and…
This paper develops a novel framework called Providers-Clients-Robots (PCR), applicable to socially assistive robots that support research on shared understanding in human-robot interactions. Providers, Clients, and Robots share an…
Patient-clinician communication is an asymmetric-information problem: patients often do not disclose fears, misconceptions, or practical barriers unless clinicians elicit them skillfully. Effective medical dialogue therefore requires…
Medical tele-management is an emerging field of study in telemedicine that proposes an interactive and proactive disease management approach which combines tele-monitoring and tele-consultation services through an information and…
This paper investigates how trust, shared understanding between a human operator and a robot, and the Locus of Control (LoC) personality trait, evolve and affect Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in mixed-initiative robotic systems. As such…
Hand-surface interactions between clinicians, patients, and medical equipment play a central role in pathogen transmission during medical procedures. However, these interactions remain largely unobserved, as current infection-prevention…
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed several weaknesses in the public health infrastructure, including supply chain mechanisms and public health ICT systems. The expansion of testing and contact tracing has been key to identifying and…
The problem addressed in this paper is how to calculate the amount of personnel required to ensure the activity of a home health care (HHC) center on a tactical horizon. Design of quantitative approaches for this question is challenging.…
Analysis is a key part of usability testing where UX practitioners seek to identify usability problems and generate redesign suggestions. Although previous research reported how analysis was conducted, the findings were typically focused on…
