In this project we research issues in both the building of collaboration tools and their use. By interleaving systematic observations of radiologists and their practice with basic research in collaboration technology and practical implementation of testbed software, this project is developing new methods of computer supported collaboration.

During the first year of this project, we have developed and evaluated the first prototype of a session record and replay application. This development was proceeded and followed by extensive observations of the current practice of radiologists and primary care physicians. The project integrates systematic observations of current diagnostic processes with the research and development of software. NSF Grand Challenge Workshop for an overview. Here are the details.
