Summary
The aim of Martine’s research is to understand and improve doctors’ decision making. She investigates the cognitive biases that can lead to misdiagnosis and mismanagement of patients, and whether “decision support” (AI-based decision aids) can mitigate these. She is also interested in how patients respond to the use of such tools during the consultation.
