LASIGE integrated researcher Isabel Neto co-authored a paper published in the 10% journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction. The paper “Reimagining Multidisciplinary Teams: Challenges and Opportunities for LLMs in Cancer MDTs” was co-authored by Soraia Paulo (IST, ITI/Larsys), Nuno Figueiredo (General Surgery, Hospital Lusíadas), Daniel Lopes (IST, ITI/Larsys), and Hugo Nicolau (IST, ITI/Larsys).

The work investigates the challenges, expectations and opportunities for LLMs in the context of multidisciplinary health teams tailored for cancer care. The researchers leveraged the Futures Cone framework and conducted a qualitative study with 11 physicians from different cancer multidisciplinary teams. Their work includes the analysis of themes that emerged from individual interviews and a focus group, highlighting LLMs’ potential to enhance and reshape multidisciplinary teams’ practices. In addition, the research uncovers concerns and coping strategies related to LLMs’ adoption and provides a set of design opportunities to inform the development of technologies for LLM-enhanced multidisciplinary teams.
