Our paper, “Human-in-the-Loop Interfaces for Trustworthy AI Decision Support,” co-authored with Riya Patel, received an Honorable Mention Award (top 5% of submissions) at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
Study overview
The paper reports on a mixed-methods study of 48 clinicians interacting with three different AI-assisted diagnostic interfaces. We found that:
- Confidence calibration displays significantly improved appropriate reliance on model suggestions.
- Clinicians preferred interfaces that surfaced evidence rather than raw confidence scores.
- Time pressure substantially changed how much clinicians engaged with explanatory content — a factor often ignored in lab studies.
Next steps
We’re now extending this work to a longitudinal field deployment in partnership with the university health system. If you’re a HCI or ML researcher interested in this space, I’d love to hear from you — reach out via the Contact page.
