We have developed a model based user interface design for integrating multiple statistical models into one software tool, and successfully implemented four prediction models of lung cancer treatments.
An illustration of a hypothetical scenario: a male patient diagnosed limited-stage small cell carcinoma at age 43.
To make the comparison of cancer treatments more convenient, checkboxes are used with the graph view of prediction results. Based on feedback from physicians, annotation is added to the graph view to help users interpret the survival probability accurately. As the user moves the cursor (or his/her finger tip on an iPhone) over the prediction graph, the survival probability is displayed as an annotation over the curve.

A new interface is designed for mobile devices. We have addressed the issues display size along with wireless data transfer speeds by redefining the interface and limiting the amount of data that is required. The resultant tool provides doctors with the flexibility of mobility while maintaining the effectiveness of the desktop version. The prototype supports both desktop and mobile devices.
