✚ valuable tool for more
accurate and efficient
decision making.
✚ users evaluated
significantly more
scenarios.
− more transparency
needed increase trust.
− model didn’t behave as
expected
− LADA didn’t meet our
users needs

with knowledge-based health decision support systems. In Proceedings of the 27th Annual
Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces. ACM.
Explaining predictions health
Evaluation
¤ 12 nurses used the app for three months
¤ Data collection
¤ Interaction logs
¤ Resque questions
¤ Semi-structured interviews
33
¤ 12 nurses during 3 months
34
Results
¤ Iterative design process identified several important features, such as the pending
list, overview and the feedback shortcut to encourage feedback.
¤ Explanations seem to contribute well to better support the healthcare
professionals.
¤ Results indicate a better understanding of the call notifications by being able to
see the reasons of the calls.
¤ More trust in the recommendations and increased perceptions of transparency
and control
¤ Interaction patterns indicate that users engaged well with the interface, although
some users did not use all features to interact with the system.
¤ Need for further simplification and personalization.

Results
¤ Hybrid explanations more useful compared to both the
textual and visual explanations.
¤ Users with a higher NFC tend to score the hybrid
explanations lower in terms of trust, transparency and
usefulness compared to the unimodal explanation.

different dimensions of explainability
¤ Increasing actionability through interactive what-if
analysis
¤ Explanations through actionable features instead of non-
actionable features
¤ Color-coded visual indicators for easy identification of
patients with high risk
¤ Data-centric directive explanations

interfaces tailored to the needs of non-expert users
¤ Actionable vs non-actionable parameters
¤ Data-centric explanations provide powerful solution
