Design and Evaluation of a Personalized Cancer Treatment System using Human-Computer Interaction Techniques
This paper presents a case study where Human-Computer
Interaction techniques were applied in the design and evaluation of a
health system. The system consisted of a software platform that supports
personalized cancer chemotherapy based on a tumor chemosensitivity
assay. The essential background on personalized cancer treatment
is provided. The system was designed using “contextual design,” a usercentered
technique that involves contextual inquiry, interpretation, work
modeling, consolidation, visioning, storyboarding and paper prototyping.
The most salient products from the design phase and details of the
system implementation are shown. The system was assessed using the
Heuristic Evaluation method, which is a usability inspection performed
by experts. Results from this evaluation indicate that only one of ten
heuristics was missing from the system, while five were partially covered
and four were fully covered.Universidad de Costa Rica/[]/UCR/Costa RicaUCR::Vicerrectoría de Investigación::Unidades de Investigación::Ingeniería::Centro de Investigaciones en Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (CITIC
