Introduction

I am researching the medical decision-making of clinicians with AI-tools. The goal of my research is to examine how new technology could be designed and implemented for improved diagnostic procedures in the future.

At the current time, I am concerned with researching the influence of AI-diagnoses on the medical decision-making of clinicians when the human has the agency in the final decision-making. In this line of research, we aim to define which factors are relevant in the process of forming clinical decisions with AI-support. We are specifically looking into use-cases of skin-cancer diagnosis with AI-tools.

Field(s) of expertise

  • Human-computer interaction: Researching the interaction of clinicians with AI-tool output in experimental studies
  • Medical decision-making: Analysis of the medical decision-making when AI-support is present, modelling and predicting the medical decision-making, researching different factors that could play a role in the decision-making
  • AI: Use existing AI models or simulate AI output to investigate the interaction between clinicians and AI under experimental conditions
  • Human-centered design: Apply methodology and knowledge from human factors engineering to design and evaluate systems that are tailored to clinicians’ needs

Education and career

  • BSc Psychology at University of Twente
  • MSc Human Factors Engineering Psychology at University of Twente
  • Internship & Master's thesis in collaboration with Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI)
