Additional information

<28> This paper describes a fundamentally new approach to medical decision making which is designed for patients (and not practitioners, as in many other research papers). Decision trees are defined independently from particular decision support systems. Trees can be automatically translated for various systems and analysis tools. Rigorous formalisation and analysis improves upon the results in the literature (for example, Protheroe et al. (2007) ‘Effectiveness of a computerized decision aid in primary care’; Thomson et al. (2006) ‘A computerised guidance tree for hypertension’). This work has provided a foundation upon which to build impact within the healthcare sector.
