Therapy Planning and Workflow Support

This research area is dealing with new methods for planning of treatment in the pre-operative phase as well as with different aspects of workflow support in order to help the surgeon to sufficiently adhere to such a plan. In the deliberative control scheme of a therapy process, this area thus is covering the “planning” phase. The topic “Therapy Workflow Support” is dealing with different aspects of workflow support, starting with an update of our current workflow assessment system, development of a generic workflow modelling toolbox, and implementation of a workflow engine. One core activity is generation of process specific process models and their use for workflow monitoring and workflow support systems. The aforementioned modules will be integrated to demonstrators in different configurations and for different clinical use cases.
