Abstract :
The author emphasizes the paradigm of humans solving very complex control problems in real time. Good examples include trauma care or anesthesiology. The goal is to gain information about how humans solve these problems and to develop concepts applicable to autonomous machine prostheses for problems like orthostatic hypotension. There are basically two main issues. First, what kinds of human expertise can be brought to bear on the design of intelligent computer systems? Second, what kinds of problems arise in successfully gleaning the desired expertise in a form which can be useful? Since humans regularly deliver care to patients with a great deal of success, it would seem logical that computer algorithms designed to assist in patient care could profit from the inclusion of human expertise. The author discusses practical constraints arising in such an approach
