Abstract

Computer-supported-cooperative work (CSCW) is a domain of research which is continuously growing. The development of groupware to support CSCW is a major element of tele-medicine applications. In the CIFASSIH project, physicians and radiologists must collaborate in a co-decision process to include HIV-infected patients in treatment protocols. Before installing cooperative and interactive workstations in the hospitals of this regional network, the authors performed a cognitive evaluation of the workstation. This cognitive evaluation is a part of the four-steps methodology necessary for a complete assessment of the prototype. Guidelines for modifications and further developments can be deduced from this experiment
