Research Topic
Decision-Support Systems and Intelligent-Tutoring
Research Description
Dr. Smith’s research expertise is the modeling of problem solving in health care and its application to the implementation of decision-support and intelligent-tutoring systems. This has included projects to create decision-support and tutoring systems for medical technologists, pathologists, and internists in transfusion medicine, for histopathologic diagnosis, and for liver disease. His current research focuses on on the implementation of multimedia systems to support tutoring and the decision-making processes of flight surgeons and biomedical engineers in support of human spaceflight. Dr. Smith also is interested in the modeling of complex human problem solving in health care, the representations of knowledge for automating these processes, and the application of cognitive science to the understanding of human-computer interaction.
