90% of the visually impaired worldwide live in a low income setting, and 80% of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured provided, a timely care is given. A large portion of at risk population does not avail timely vision care due to low awareness and inability to afford nor access quality vision care. Generating high patient volumes by reaching out into the community is a general approach...
The process of how laboratory tests are made and the results are delivered is very important to the decision making process in medicine. This situation is more critical in areas like Intensive Medicine, where the decision needs to be performed quickly and accurately. Typically, the results are presented in a closed format (document). This format represents a barrier for the implementation of Intelligent...
Managing mass gathering events is a complex process. A key factor in successful management of mass gatherings is the availability of real-time data about the situation. This data is very useful in making important decisions that can potentially be life saving. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based framework for real-time collection and visualization of on field mobile triage data. The proposed...
The majority of healthcare workers in hospitals continue to record, access and update important patient information using paper charts. Disparate patient data (clinical information, laboratory results and medical imagery) is entered by different caregivers and stored at different locations around the hospital. This is a cumbersome, time consuming process that can result in critical medical errors...
Emergency Departments (EDs) require advanced support systems for monitoring and controlling their processes: clinical, operational, and financial. A prerequisite for such a system is comprehensive operational information (e.g. queueing times, busy resources,...), reliably portraying and predicting ED status as it evolves in time. To this end, simulation comes to the rescue, through a two-step procedure...
