Porting the Patients Interview Support Application (PISA) to the World Wide Web presented software engineering challenges but enabled valuable user feedback. This demonstrates the potential of web-based interactive systems in health informatics.

Area of Science:

  • Software Engineering
  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Interactive knowledge-based systems require significant development effort.
  • Porting complex software to the World Wide Web introduces unique challenges.
  • Evaluating healthcare software requires accessible and user-friendly interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the software engineering challenges and benefits of porting an interactive system to the World Wide Web.
  • To evaluate the Patients Interview Support Application (PISA) in a web-based environment.
  • To explore the potential of web-mounted interactive systems for user feedback and future development.

Main Methods:

  • Substantial re-writing of the PISA software to accommodate web dialog and dynamic HTML forms.

  • Preservation of the core knowledge-base and inference engine during the porting process.
  • Deployment of the web-based PISA for user evaluation by non-expert clerks interviewing primary care patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant software engineering challenges were overcome in adapting PISA for the web.
    • The web environment facilitated thought-provoking and detailed user feedback.
    • User reactions provided specific suggestions for enhancing the PISA's artificial intelligence.

    Conclusions:

    • Mounting interactive systems on the World Wide Web can attract global attention and valuable user input.
    • Web-based systems offer a viable platform for evaluating and improving health informatics tools.
    • A future marketplace for composable, web-based health information system components is envisioned.
