“…Based on patient characteristics and family history, RAGs determines a patient's risk by aggregating the pro and con arguments. REACT [18] uses argumentation to enable patients and clinicians to map out the treatment plan and simulate implications of different interventions. In REACT the information was processed as logical for or against arguments that allowed for both qualitative and quantitative inputs.…”

This paper demonstrates how argumentation schemes can be used in decision support systems that help clinicians in making treatment decisions. The work builds on the use of computational argumentation, a rigorous approach to reasoning with complex data that places strong emphasis on being able to justify and explain the decisions that are recommended. The main contribution of the paper is to present a novel set of specialised argumentation schemes that can be used in the context of a clinical decision support system to assist in reasoning about what treatments to offer. These schemes provide a mechanism for capturing clinical reasoning in such a way that it can be handled by the formal reasoning mechanisms of formal argumentation. The paper describes how the integration between argumentation schemes and formal argumentation may be carried out, sketches how this is achieved by an implementation that we have created and illustrates the overall process on a small set of case studies.

“…REACT (risks, events, actions and consequences over time) 8 is a planning-support system that provides immediate feedback based on constraints, interactions, and dependencies between events and actions over periods of care. It dynamically shows "what if" scenarios in terms of quantitative outcome measures, and presents the arguments for and against possible clinical interventions together with their justifications (see figure 6).…”

Argumentation-Based Inference and Decision Making--A Medical Perspective

A rgumentation-which used to be an informal topic, of interest primarily to lawyers and philosophers-has become in recent years an area with a strong formal foundation, with numerous applications in cognitive science and information technology. The first communities concerned with argumentation were those interested in its relationship to reasoning by individuals (notably Stephen Toulmin and his followers) and those interested in natural dialogue and rhetoric (notably the Amsterdam school and Douglas Walton and Erik Krabbe's work). With the growing interest in argumentation in computer science, researchers have started to explore both theoretical and practical aspects in fields as diverse as mathematical logic, software engineering, and AI.From a theoretical perspective, argumentation offers a novel way of understanding and formalizing human cognition. Logicians and computer scientists are also using argumentation systems for expanding their investigations into classical forms of reasoning such as deduction and reasoning under uncertainty, and into nonclassical forms of reasoning such as nonmonotonic, modal, and epistemic logics. Another promising application area for argumentation theory is distributed AI and multiagent systems, where the dialectical nature of argumentation helps structure and reason about the exchange of knowledge and information related to claims. From a practical perspective, argumentation provides a versatile computational model for developing advanced services for decision support and for computerhuman dialogues in which explanation and rationale play a central role.Argumentation is a potentially important paradigm for developing commercial and public services that are flexible and easily understood by human users. In the first part of this article, we present our work on developing argumentation-based services for biomedical applications, with a particular focus on argument-based inference, decision making and planning. The second part of the article concerns the theoretical and practical lessons learned from this initial work and its follow-on as part of the Argumentation Services Platform with The Argumentation Services Platform with Integrated Components (ASPIC) project aims to provide advanced argumentation-based computational capabilities.

“…For example, rather than being rigidly encoded, care plans can be structured in a more skeletal form around generic options [23], leaving the choice to follow one option over another to the individual. The risks and benefits can be calculated by population level data but visualized in a way that is understandable by the patient because it reflects their personal context [24,25].…”
