title: Collaborative virtual desktop as decision support system for surgical planning.
abstract: Today, diagnosis of cancer and therapeutic choice imply strongly structured meeting between specialized practitioners. These complex and not standardized meetings are generally located at a same place and need a heavy preparation-time. In this context, we assume that efficient collaborative tools could help to reduce decision time and improve reliability of the chosen treatments. The paper presents an activity analysis and the first outcomes of a participatory design method involving end users.
