Eye tracking users of a visual diagnostic clinical decision support system to discover decision-making strategies and to inform user interface design.
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) assist physicians and other medical professionals in tasks such as differential diagnosis. End users may use different decision-making strategies depending on medical training. Study of eye movements reveals information processing strategies that are executed at a level below consciousness. Eye tracking of student physician assistants and medical residents, while using a visual diagnostic CDSS in diagnostic tasks, showed adoption of distinct strategies and informed recommendations for effective user interface design.
