| Summary: | Surveillance of invasive fungal infection (IFI) requires laborious review of multiple sources of clinical information, while applying complex criteria to effectively identify relevant infections. These processes can be automated using artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies, including applying natural language processing (NLP) to clinical reports. However, developing a practically useful automated IFI surveillance tool requires consideration of the implementation context. We employed the Design Thinking Framework (DTF) to focus on the needs of end users of the tool to ensure sustained user engagement and enable its prospective validation. DTF allowed iterative generation of ideas and refinement of the final digital health solution. We believe this approach is key to increasing the likelihood that the solution will be implemented in clinical practice. |
