Driving Data-Based Decisions

Project tags:

software development

Our project addresses outdated and clunky software being used in pathology departments across the U.S. and Canada. Our team is working with Peak Medical Technologies, a consulting firm aiming to develop a new suite to solve many problems prevalent in this field such as high error-rates in filling out medical forms. We are addressing this problem by creating a data-driven approach that reduces confusion and helps push users towards correct decisions. Our solution will be considered successful if an inexperienced user (not just a doctor or pathologist) can complete a request for sample testing through our computerized form with a low error rate.
