Measuring response times for a Web system is essential to evaluate its performance. This paper presents a comparison of the response times for a Web-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs) system in Ophthalmology, TeleOftalWeb. It makes use of different models of open-source native XML databases: dbXML 2.0, Xindice 1.2 and eXist 1.1.1. The system is modeled using queueing theory (the M/M/1 model) and...
Interoperability among medical devices and compute engines in the personal environment of the patient, and with healthcare information systems in the remote monitoring and management process is a key need that requires developments supported on standard-based design. Even though there have been some international initiatives to combine different standards, the vision of an entire end-to-end standard-based...
Cancer is caused by a variety of factors whose study requires a large amount of data. Compiling these data is an expensive and time-consuming task which can be carried out in a better way with the support of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). However, most epidemiologic studies take place without this support of informatics or with basic tools that are developed by unqualified professionals...
Remote patient monitoring in e-Health is everyday closer to be a mature technology/service. However, there is still a lack of development in areas such as standardization of the sensor's communication interface, integration into electronic healthcare record systems or incorporation in ambient-intelligent scenarios. This work identifies a set of use cases involved in the personal monitoring scenario...
This paper presents a proof-of-concept design of a patient monitoring solution for Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It is end-to-end standards-based, using ISO/IEEE 11073 (X73) in the bedside environment and EN13606 to communicate the information to an Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) server. At the bedside end a plug-and-play sensor network is implemented, which communicates with a gateway that collects...
Excellence in care optimisation in modern cardiology is a twofold issue that involves both the collaboration of numerous communities that benefit from collaborative work spaces as well as life-long education of professionals. Progressive specialisation of medical professionals is one of the factors that most account for this lack of dissemination giving way to the creation of clustered and specialised...
