This quarterly report provides a summary of the status of all projects and activities being conducted within the CDSiC Innovation Center from July 2024 through September 2024. Over this period, the Innovation Center has focused on completing four projects across both Cores.

The Core 1 team is undertaking two projects: 1) a cross-cutting assessment of how patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS) is measured in the real world, and 2) an evaluation of Core 2’s prototype PC CDS tools. These projects aim to address the gaps in the tools, techniques, and standards required to accurately measure and monitor the performance of various forms of PC CDS across the design, development, implementation, and use spectrum.

The Core 2 team is undertaking two projects: 1) design, development, and deployment of a chatbot prototype to support medication adherence, and 2) design and development of a chatbot prototype to support patient-clinician communication. These projects consider the use of artificial intelligence in decision support tools, and begin to explore patient and clinician perspectives on the subject.
