Modelling learning for a better safety culture within an organization using a virtual safety coach: Reducing the risk of postpartum depression via improved communication with parents

This paper describes an extension of a safety culture within hospital organizations providing more transparency and acknowledgement of all actors, and in particular the parents. It contributes a model architecture to support a hospital to develop such an extended safety culture. It is illustrated for prevention of postpartum depression....

Sharing human mental model with an AI agent to achieve team effectiveness

The collaboration between AI agents (Artificial Intelligence) and human is an essential part of achieving complex goals more efficiently. Many aspects are influential in achieving effective teamwork. One of them is trust. In addition, sharing the mental model would improve the understanding of the other’s behavior and the prediction of their...

A Computational Network Model for Shared Mental Models in Hospital Operation Rooms

This paper describes a network model for mental processes making use of shared mental models (SMM) of team performance. The paper illustrates the value of adequate SMM’s for safe and efficient team performance. The addressed application context is that of a medical team performing a tracheal intubation executed by a nurse and a medical...

Stiffness and Pliability: Developing an Algorithm to Identify Intrinsic and Reflexive Stiffness during Voluntary Movement and a Shared Mental Model Making Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration Dynamics Meaningful to Engineers

System identification techniques to analyse movement disorders are in development, but concrete clinical evidence to receive broad support from the clinical world is lacking. This master thesis proposes two ways to accelerate their development as part of the master’s programmes in Mechanical Engineering and Science Communication. The Mechanical...

Context-Sensitive Sharedness Criteria for Teamwork (Extended Abstract)

Teamwork between humans and intelligent systems gains importance with the maturing of agent and robot technology. In the social sciences, sharedness of mental models is used to explain and understand teamwork. To use this concept for developing teams that include agents, we propose contextsensitive sharedness criteria. These criteria specify how...

Designerly Ways Of Sharing: The Dynamic Development of Shared Mental Models in Design Teams

Crisis Decision Making Through a Shared Integrative Negotiation Mental Model

Decision making during crises takes place in (multi-agency) teams, in a bureaucratic political context. As a result, the common notion that during crises decision making should be done in line with a Command & Control structure is invalid. This paper shows that the best way for crisis decision making teams in a bureaucratic political context is...
