WebEpi is an epidemiological WebGIS service developed for the Population Health Epidemiology Unit of the Tasmania Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Epidemiological geographical studies help analyze public health surveillance and medical situations. It is still a challenge to conduct large-scale geographical information exploration of epidemiology surveillance based on patterns and relationships...
Timely and effective surveillance is critical for the prevention and control of epidemics. However, due to technical challenges and shortage of human resources, comprehensive and timely data collection required for effective surveillance, especially collection of data about sudden epidemic outbreaks, is still very difficult. In this paper, we propose the use of multi-source web data for epidemic surveillance...
A assembled method based on quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm combined with Bayesian networks (BN) is proposed to solve complex multi-objective nutritional diet decision making problem. To realize nutritional diet decision optimization for patients, BN model for dealing with associative relationship between diseases and diets is set up to compute and update the edibility of every...
We are interested in understanding how high quality information management systems can improve disease prevention and screening services, particularly in the prevention of diabetes and its complications. As part of this effort, we are exploiting standards-driven distributed data collation, processing and computational technologies to deduce comparative performance of disease outcomes markers. In the...
Menu making support system is a system aiming at calculating a nutrient from the data of foods or food county, and making a menu by using a database. Anyone can make the menu which thought about a nutrient easily by using this system. By using this system, the nutrient of the dish according to individual in a usual home is calculable.
The goal of the biomedical engineering is to contribute to a better quality of life by improving health with innovative technologies. The containment of the costs of health care is as important as the improvement of the quality health care. Biomedical engineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior,...
The central piece for healthcare and public health is information. Through the shared use of the Internet and the WWW, for example, elder patients can be "visited, diagnosed, treated and managed" from their homes, with the help of telemedicine systems. This technology also provides society with additional benefits within a global health perspective, with applications ranging from disease...
