Computational Argumentation-based Clinical Decision Support

This demonstration highlights the design of the Consult system, a modular decision-support system (DSS) intended to help patients suffering from chronic conditions self-manage their treatments. The system takes input from multiple sources, including commercial wellness sensors and a patient’s electronic health record, to inform a computational argumentation engine that constructs weighted opinions using these inputs and knowledge about their sources, and uses an interaction agent driven by argumentation-based dialogue to respond to user queries.
