Monologger

Monologger is a tool to help doctors become more empathic communicators by visualizing engagement in medical conversation.

Studies show that effective communication between doctors and patients has a number of medical benefits, especially in the treatment of chronic conditions. Despite this, many doctors fail to see problems in their communication with patients. Monologger uses Processing to analyze clinical transcript text and output a print or interactive summary showing how the doctor and patient engaged in conversation. The traits isolated by the tool are based on the “Four Habits Model,” a set of widely adopted guidelines on effective medical communication.

Monologger was accepted as a works in progress paper for D.I.S. 2014
