The paper presents a framework consisting of different hospital departments and general practitioners healthcare information systems supporting interoperability between software solutions. The goal is to improve the medical workflow and processes in obstetrics - gynecology department, pediatrics department and general practitioner offices using communication documents (HL7 Clinical Document Architecture...
The main topic of this work is a proposal for a multi-input system that uses a topic map and an inference engine in order to automatically generate medical protocols. The topic map has the role to acquire, represent, manage and retrieve knowledge, and the inference engine has to infer based on that knowledge base.
Fuzzy inference system editors are powerful tools that permit the easy definition of the inference system and the related linguistic variables and the rule-base as well. One of the major shortcomings of these editors is that they strongly related to the environment in which the fuzzy system is developed. At the implementation step designed FIS is hardcoded in the environment in which it will be used...
The new-borns' cries are relevant for their health status. Their analysis may constitute a non-invasive diagnosis method. The paper presents a new tool (NEONAT) that allows digital processing of the vocal signal representing the cry, visualizing the frequency spectrum and several values of interest as well as managing the data regarding mothers and babies. A protocol for performing recordings is proposed...
The paper describes several original solutions to increase the in-built “intelligence” of a telecare system increasing the usability of the telecare system, reducing the burden of the monitoring and medical personnel and increasing the quality of care is the main beneficiary. One solution is using a warning component implemented at the server- and locally. It is presented the need of alarms (as logical...
The diversification of telecommunication networks and advances in communication technologies, including the Internet, has considerable potential as an environment supporting telemedicine applications. Within eRomania government programme a special focus is on public and private electronic services development. In this context, National Communication Research Institute - INSCC is coordinating a Romanian...
The paper presents a framework supporting interoperability between software solutions developed to support activities in obstetrics - gynecology department and pediatrics department in a big hospital, experience that can be extended to other similar hospitals. The goal is to improve medical workflow and processes in obstetrics - gynecology and pediatrics departments using standardized communication...
In this paper is presented a method for automated generation of medical recommendations, using the combined power of the topic maps and expert systems. To obtain new knowledge from topic maps and to integrate this knowledge with a medical decision making systems, keywords for interrogation are needed. The keywords will be extracted from various sources of medical decision making systems: patient data...
The paper presents a method that helps improving the automatic generation of medical computer-based protocols. The new methods act as a wrapper for the expert system allowing the access to different types of databases. This new concept integrates the HL7 CDA technology to transmit the data. The information that is transmitted from one module of the connector to another is structured concerning the...
The paper presents a tool that exports data from different database types into arff format, in order to be used by WEKA data mining and machine learning software. The developed application allows the connection to databases, the visualization of the relationships between tables, the visualization of the structure and of the content of these databases throughout several uniform and dynamic interfaces...
The paper presents relevant technical aspects of implementing a solution for tele-assistance/ tele-monitoring system designed to assist elderly persons and/or post-discharged patients. The system consists of units located at the homes of the monitored persons collecting and sending medical and environmental data from sensors and a call centre with a server for recording and monitoring the data. Specialized...
Medical protocols and guidelines are means through which the health care quality is improved. Implementing them with the help of computers, their acceptance and the applicability have increased over time. A new method for implementing medical protocols and guidelines has been developed using artificial intelligence and a data manager. This method uses a connector between the expert system and the...
The paper describes a server component from a tele-assistance / tele-monitoring system to assist elderly persons. The system consists of units located at the homes of the monitored persons collecting and sending medical and environmental data from sensors and a call centre with a server for recording and monitoring the data. Here, specialised staff will support tele-surveillance and tele-assistance...
The paper present a specific approach and the corresponding appropriate tools to ensure automated exchange between information systems with databases and different devices with serial communication, non-compliant according to advanced inter-communication standards. In this way, is possible to integrate these devices into information flows and systems. The specific configurations are XML-coded. A complete...
The paper describes a strategy to implement an alarm component in a server from a tele-assistance / tele-monitoring system to assist elderly persons. The system consists of units located at the homes of the monitored persons collecting and sending medical and environmental data from sensors and a call centre with a server for recording and monitoring the data. Here, specialised staff will support...
The paper suggests a software architecture to improve the accessibility to information from texts. This software combines techniques like: image processing, optical character recognition, machine translation, text analyze and text to speech. The application uses a scanner or a Web cam as an image input device, recognizes the text by using OCR, enables text translation by using Googlepsilas machine...
The paper describes new techniques to increase flexibility for document-oriented software using appropriate database structures, templates and/or XML files. This approach gives an opportunity to the developer to add an arbitrary document by request, each time when this is needed. The described principle makes the adding of a new document easier, avoiding to modify the structure of the database or...
The paper presents how, based on the software developed for a previous General Practices (GP) Sentinel Network project (MedlNS/MediNET), a new approach for Chronic Care Model was implemented. This approach allows the possibility to fill-in-the blanks and then store information in several new documents (risk charts) for each patient of a GP (if required), by using a generic mechanism. This new technology...
