Abstract

Regardless of the often-claimed success of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-based Digital Decision Support Systems (DDSSs) still suffer from low adoption rates. Much algorithmic research is done, but examples of AI bringing tangible benefits to the healthcare industry are rare. We argue that one of the reasons for low adoption rates is missing domain understanding and/or the heterogeneity of domain understanding among the DDSS developers and domain experts. To overcome this, we are working towards a methodology to utilize the Domain Engineering approach to create a shared common understanding of key concepts and relationships within the healthcare domain in a structured, formalized way. In the realm of complex interdisciplinary DDSS development within healthcare, the Domain Engineering approach can serve as a valuable instrument for bridging the gap between IT professionals and domain experts. It facilitates establishing a shared comprehension of the domain and hopefully contributes significantly to increasing the value and adoption rates of DDSSs in the clinical process. In this paper, we are proposing our work-in-progress ideas and preliminary results.
