“…We did also notice a higher activity in the radiology view during the evaluation, when the participants pointed on the images. This confirms both our previous results [19,24], as well as results reported by others [11,22], of the need of collaborative pointing. Hence, the roles the participants have and the tasks they should complete during the MDTM also affect the interaction requirements.…”

“…Their study shows the need for technology to support interaction between participants in different locations, specifically the use of pointing and other indexing gestures. Interaction with, for example, radiology images presented at MDTMs has also been identified as needed, but often not supported for the larger audience [19,24]. However, [12] report that it can be negative to introduce certain advanced technology in MDTMs, as "real-time data gathering at the meeting takes more time and risks turning the meeting into a group form-filling exercise".…”

“…The radiologist is in full control of this presentation; during most of the presentation no one else is speaking and the radiologist handles the images (choosing which examinations to display, scrolling images, and pointing to specific areas). Towards the end of the presentation, other participants join the discussion by asking questions, asking the radiologist to show specific areas [24], and starting to work out the diagnosis. The chair (a senior surgeon) is now responsible for the discussion, making sure that all relevant patient information is taken into account and a consensus decision on diagnosis and treatment is made.…”

In order to improve collaboration on, and visualisation of, patient information in medical multi-disciplinary team meetings, we have developed a system that presents information from different medical systems to be used as a support for the decision process. Based on field studies, we have implemented a high-fidelity prototype on tablet-sized displays, and tested it in a realistic setting. Our evaluation proved that more patient information can efficiently be displayed to all meeting participants, compared to the current situation. Interaction with the information, on the other hand, proved to be a complicated activity that needs careful design considerations; it should ultimately be based on what roles the meeting participants have, and what tasks they should complete. Medical decision-making is a complex area, and conducting interaction design in this area proved complex too. We foresee a great opportunity to improve medical work, by introducing collaborative tools and visualisation of medical data, but it requires that interaction design becomes a natural part of medical work.
