Safe and sound

"In this book, John Fox and Subrata Das examine realizable systems that perform intelligent tasks in medicine, exploring their designs and the problems they create as well as their successes." "Fox and Das insist that the same intelligence (artificial and human) must be applied to guaranteeing safety as to assuring acceptable task performance. Medicine is an excellent field for application of this approach, but it also serves as an example for the entire field of design, where issues of safety are never absent."--Jacket.
