Abstract : |
We describe MAGIC, an experimental system for generating multimedia briefings about the clinical status of post-bypass patients ' entering a cardiac ICU. MAGIC is a distributed system whose components ' use knowledgebased techniques for planning and generating briefings in text, speech, and graphics'. These briefings are coordinated together by reasoning with dynamically generated temporal and spatial constraints'. Formative evaluation using system mock-ups with ICU nurses and residents ' have been used to determine the general format and content of these briefings. We present an overview of MAGIC's architecture and show what it can currently generate., |
