Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to present a system able to supervise the activity of cytotechnicians and pathologists, as performed under the HOME workstation. The HOME workstation provides a set of computerized tools facilitating specimen examination; human activity may thus be approached through a set of parameters, such as the specimen exploration strategy or observation time. A deep model of human activity is progressively elaborated by our system, based on these parameters, in terms of three contextual factors: case factors, task factors, and human factors. Such model allows to consider the mutual effect of these factors on work quality. A navigation system is designed and presented, which offers easy access and navigation through these informations. The model is also used in alarming mode, to notify a deviation from reference behaviour: further information may then be gained by questioning the navigation system.
