A key challenge is developing and deploying easy-to-understand AI predictive models for the outcomes of a specific patient, based on patient data from multiple institutions. We describe the lessons learned from the development and deployment of an interactive dashboard to support the analysis of individual head and neck cancer patient outcomes based on cohort data. As required by the project, the dashboard design aims to handle a large client base. The dashboard combines an AI solution with a multi-view interface featuring domain-specific plots to facilitate the visual analysis of patient outcomes and to quickly stratify new patients into risk groups. A year after the successful public deployment of the dashboard, we evaluate it with clinician domain experts. We report the feedback and we reflect on the lessons learned through this experience.</p>","PeriodicalId":519974,"journal":{"name":"... IEEE Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare.

So far, there have been numerous examples of theoretical AI solutions for this space, for example, large-scale corporate efforts like IBM's Watson AI. However, clinical implementation remains limited due to factors related to the alignment of this technology in the clinical setting. User-Centered Design (UCD) is a design philosophy that focuses on developing tailored solutions for specific users or user groups. In this study, we applied UCD to develop an explainable AI tool to support clinicians in our use case. Through four design iterations, starting from basic functionality and visualizations, we progressed to functional prototypes in a realistic testing environment. We discuss our motivation and approach for each iteration, along with key insights gained. This UCD process has advanced our conceptual idea from feasibility testing to interactive functional AI interfaces designed for specific clinical and cognitive tasks. It has also provided us with directions to develop further an AI system for the non-invasive diagnosis of CNS tumors.</p>","PeriodicalId":519974,"journal":{"name":"...
