CaseMaster: Designing and Evaluating a Probe for Oral Case Presentation Training with LLM Assistance

Preparing an oral case presentation (OCP) is a crucial skill for medical students, requiring clear communication of patient information, clinical findings, and treatment plans. However, inconsistent student participation and limited guidance can make this task challenging. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can provide structured content to streamline the process, their role in facilitating skill development and supporting medical education integration remains underexplored. To address this, we conducted a formative study with six medical educators and developed CaseMaster, an interactive probe that leverages LLM-generated content tailored to medical education to help users enhance their OCP skills. The controlled study suggests CaseMaster has the potential to both improve presentation quality and reduce workload compared to traditional methods, an implication reinforced by expert feedback. We propose guidelines for educators to develop adaptive, user-centered training methods using LLMs, while considering the implications of integrating advanced technologies into medical education.

"Do I Trust the AI?" Towards Trustworthy AI-Assisted Diagnosis: Understanding User Perception in LLM-Supported Reasoning

Large language models (LLMs) have shown considerable potential in supporting medical diagnosis. However, their effective integration into clinical workflows is hindered by physicians' difficulties in perceiving and trusting LLM capabilities, which often results in miscalibrated trust. Existing model evaluations primarily emphasize standardized benchmarks and predefined tasks, offering limited insights into clinical reasoning practices. Moreover, research on human-AI collaboration has rarely examined physicians' perceptions of LLMs' clinical reasoning capability. In this work, we investigate how physicians perceive LLMs' capabilities in the clinical reasoning process. We designed clinical cases, collected the corresponding analyses, and obtained evaluations from physicians (N=37) to quantitatively represent their perceived LLM diagnostic capabilities. By comparing the perceived evaluations with benchmark performance, our study highlights the aspects of clinical reasoning that physicians value and underscores the limitations of benchmark-based evaluation. We further discuss the implications of opportunities for enhancing trustworthy collaboration between physicians and LLMs in LLM-supported clinical reasoning.

DesignBridge: Bridging Designer Expertise and User Preferences through AI-Enhanced Co-Design for Fashion

Effective collaboration between designers and users is important for fashion design, which can increase the user acceptance of fashion products and thereby create value. However, it remains an enduring challenge, as traditional designer-centric approaches restrict meaningful user participation, while user-driven methods demand design proficiency, often marginalizing professional creative judgment. Current co-design practices, including workshops and AI-assisted frameworks, struggle with low user engagement, inefficient preference collection, and difficulties in balancing user feedback with design considerations. To address these challenges, we conducted a formative study with designers and users experienced in co-design (N=7), identifying critical challenges for current collaboration between designers and users in the co-design process, and their requirements. Informed by these insights, we introduce DesignBridge, a multi-platform AI-enhanced interactive system that bridges designer expertise and user preferences through three stages: (1) Initial Design Framing, where designers define initial concepts. (2) Preference Expression Collection, where users intuitively articulate preferences via interactive tools. (3) Preference-Integrated Design, where designers use AI-assisted analytics to integrate feedback into cohesive designs. A user study demonstrates that DesignBridge significantly enhances user preference collection and analysis, enabling designers to integrate diverse preferences with professional expertise.

ReviseMate: Exploring Contextual Support for Digesting STEM Paper Reviews

Effectively assimilating and integrating reviewer feedback is crucial for researchers seeking to refine their papers and handle potential rebuttal phases in academic venues. However, traditional review digestion processes present challenges such as time consumption, reading fatigue, and the requisite for comprehensive analytical skills. Prior research on review analysis often provides theoretical guidance with limited targeted support. Additionally, general text comprehension tools overlook the intricate nature of comprehensively understanding reviews and lack contextual assistance. To bridge this gap, we formulated research questions to explore the authors' concerns and methods for enhancing comprehension during the review digestion phase. Through interviews and the creation of storyboards, we developed ReviseMate, an interactive system designed to address the identified challenges. A controlled user study (N=31) demonstrated the superiority of ReviseMate over baseline methods, with positive feedback regarding user interaction. Subsequent field deployment (N=6) further validated the effectiveness of ReviseMate in real-world review digestion scenarios. These findings underscore the potential of interactive tools to significantly enhance the assimilation and integration of reviewer feedback during the manuscript review process.

Advancing Problem-Based Learning with Clinical Reasoning for Improved Differential Diagnosis in Medical Education

Medical education increasingly emphasizes students' ability to apply knowledge in real-world clinical settings, focusing on evidence-based clinical reasoning and differential diagnoses. Problem-based learning (PBL) addresses traditional teaching limitations by embedding learning into meaningful contexts and promoting active participation. However, current PBL practices are often confined to medical instructional settings, limiting students' ability to self-direct and refine their approaches based on targeted improvements. Additionally, the unstructured nature of information organization during analysis poses challenges for record-keeping and subsequent review. Existing research enhances PBL realism and immersion but overlooks the construction of logic chains and evidence-based reasoning. To address these gaps, we designed e-MedLearn, a learner-centered PBL system that supports more efficient application and practice of evidence-based clinical reasoning. Through controlled study (N=19) and testing interviews (N=13), we gathered data to assess the system's impact. The findings demonstrate that e-MedLearn improves PBL experiences and provides valuable insights for advancing clinical reasoning-based learning.

Medillustrator: Improving Retrospective Learning in Physicians' Continuous Medical Education via Multimodal Diagnostic Data Alignment and Representation

Continuous Medical Education (CME) plays a vital role in physicians' ongoing professional development. Beyond immediate diagnoses, physicians utilize multimodal diagnostic data for retrospective learning, engaging in self-directed analysis and collaborative discussions with peers. However, learning from such data effectively poses challenges for novice physicians, including screening and identifying valuable research cases, achieving fine-grained alignment and representation of multimodal data at the semantic level, and conducting comprehensive contextual analysis aided by reference data. To tackle these challenges, we introduce Medillustrator, a visual analytics system crafted to facilitate novice physicians' retrospective learning. Our structured approach enables novice physicians to explore and review research cases at an overview level and analyze specific cases with consistent alignment of multimodal and reference data. Furthermore, physicians can record and review analyzed results to facilitate further retrospection. The efficacy of Medillustrator in enhancing physicians' retrospective learning processes is demonstrated through a comprehensive case study and a controlled in-lab between-subject user study.
