title: Project I-COP - architecture of software tool for decision support in oncology.
abstract: This article briefly describes the development of the I-COP tool, which is designed to promote education and decision making of clinical oncologists. It is based on real data from medical facilities, which are processed, stored in database, analyzed and finally displayed in an interactive software application. Used data sources are shortly described in individual sections together with the functionality of developed tools. The final goal of this project is to provide support for work and education within each involved partner center. Clinical oncologists are therefore supposed to be the authors and users at the same time.
