    Abstract:
    While medical expert systems helped demonstrate that artificial intelligence was possible, few medical systems have been heralded as practical successes. We believe that expert systems will be practical successes if they cost effectively handle most of a physician's workload (i.e., routine care). To accomplish this goal, technology must appear invisible to the user; the system must be intuitive and anticipate users' needs. "Epileptologists' Assistant" is an example of our approach of combining a graphical user interface with an expert system and data base in a system to help in a routine specialty clinic. The goal is for two nurses and a physician to handle the workload of three physicians while increasing the quality of care. The current system reduces physician time by 66%. Our ultimate goal is to create a unified family of systems for medical specialties.
