about the project
Currently, the conventional pathology is at the brink of digitalization. Working in a research team at the Medical University of Graz, Austria I developed a user interface and user experience design for the pathology department. The work is being presented in different research projects within Austria and Europe (for example aidava.eu and empaia.org).
what I did
In order to create an interface that truly met the needs of pathologists, I observed the medical professionals and analysed the clinical processes. The software design reflects habitual behaviours while bringing in new ideas for possible digital pathology software. It withholds key concepts of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), since the use of AI systems in the medical field needs to be transparently communicated due to legal regulations and to build trust between the system and the users. The design process followed the design thinking steps. The design received positive feedback from the pathologists as well as from the head of the diagnostic department, with whom I was in close contact with and asked for validation through user tests.
