Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings are the standard way for determining the treatment plan for lung cancer patients worldwide. In these meetings, specialists and healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer come together to discuss each patient and determine a treatment for each unique cancer case. The clinical specialists must consider comprehensive patient data against a wide and ever-evolving range of treatment options. The combination of strict time schedules and large amounts of data the needs to be considered can lead to rushed decision making. Clinical Decisions Support Systems (CDSS), which are systems for information sharing, can be an effective way of helping clinical specialists make informed decisions.

Through a participatory design approach, a CDSS was developed in close collaboration with clinical specialists and technical experts. The solution includes an adaptable visualization of essential patient data, and a concept for integration into current hospital workflows at St. Olavs Hospital.
