A User Interface for Executing Asbru Plans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asbru is a language for specifying treatment plans. These plans are then used by an execution unit to give advice to the medical staff what actions to take (open-loop system). In order to do this, the execution unit has to monitor patient data and needs to be informed about the duration and success of actions. This communication requires a flexible and adaptive user interface that 1) makes it possible to understand which information is currently needed most urgently, and 2) allows the user to tell it the outcome of treatment steps he or she has performed. It must also be possible to simulate patient parameters for testing treatment plans prior to actual clinical trials. We present a user interface, called AsbrUI, that meets these criteria.

Visualization of Clinical Protocols
We developed a time-oriented, skeletal plan-representation language called Asbru [1] used to represent clinical protocols. It is a modeling language which supports both the design and the execution of skeletal plans by a human executing agent other than the original plan designer. During the design phase, Asbru allows to express durative actions and plans caused by durative states of an observe...
متن کاملA Visualization of Medical Therapy Plans Compared to Gantt and PERT Charts
Medical therapy planning shares a number of properties of project management. It is, however, different in a few very important aspects — most notably, the more complex notion of time it requires. Asbru is a language that can represent medical therapy plans in terms of time-oriented, skeletal plans. But due to its formal nature, it cannot be used directly by physicians. Therefore, we developed ...
متن کاملMetaphors of movement: a visualization and user interface for time-oriented, skeletal plans
Therapy planning plays an increasingly important role in the everyday work of physicians. Clinical protocols or guidelines are typically represented using flow-charts, decision tables, or plain text. These representations are badly suited, however, for complex medical procedures.One representation method that overcomes these problems is the language Asbru. But because Asbru has a LISP-like synt...
متن کاملCommunicating the Logic of a Treatment Plan Formulated in Asbru to Domain Experts
This paper presents an interactive visualization for medical treatment plans that are formulated in the plan representation language Asbru. So far, most attention of the protocol-based care community was focused towards formal guideline representation and authoring partly supported by graphical tools. The intention of this work is to go the opposite way and communicate the logic of a computeriz...
متن کاملVisualization Techniques for Time-Oriented, Skeletal Plans in Medical Therapy Planning
In order to utilize elaborate tools and techniques (like verication) for use with clinical protocols, these must be represented in an appropriate way. Protocols are typically represented by means of formal languages (e.g., Asbru), which are very hard to understand for medical experts and lead to many problems in practical use. Therefore, a powerful user interface is needed. We identify the key ...
