As the volume of clinic notes written in natural language is rapidly increasing, physicians need a tool to automatically extract information about diseases/treatments. The main problem in extracting medical information is that physicians use variant words to describe the same disease/treatment. In order to help physicians interpret and share disease/treatment information in clinic notes, we need to...
Many advances in medicine, but the occurrence of errors that accompany the completion of forms are inevitable for the human condition [3]. An information system is to achieve the prescription indicating possible drug interactions, reducing a large number of incidents related to medical errors. The implementation of the system also reduces the time of hospital beds and administrative costs, allowing...
Out-patient medication administration has been identified as the most error-prone procedure in modern healthcare. Under or over doses due to erratic in-takes, drug-drug or drug-food interactions caused by un-reconciled prescriptions and the absence of in-take enforcement and monitoring mechanisms have caused medication errors to become the common cases of all medical errors. Most medication administration...
Discovering unknown adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in postmarketing surveillance as early as possible is of great importance. The current approach to postmarketing surveillance primarily relies on spontaneous reporting. It is passive and suffers from gross underreporting (<0% reporting rate), latency, and inconsistent reporting. We propose a novel team-based intelligent agent system approach for...
The paper shows how redundancy can be put at work to play a positive role in facilitating the cognitive and coordinative tasks of clinicians in a ward setting. The main requirement to accomplish this positive function is to allow and support clinicians in annotating the clinical record and making correlations between redundant data explicit. We report an observational study we undertook in the design...
We introduce an intelligent medicine cabinet as a new element of a residential network, acting as a secure place to store sensitive health information, and therefrom access a range of interactive health care applications. This paper describes the functionalities related to monitoring the intake of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, harnessing recent advances in smart medicine packaging and home...
Current postmarketing surveillance methods largely rely on spontaneous reports which suffer from serious underreporting, latency, and inconsistent reporting. Thus they are not ideal for rapidly identifying rare adverse drug reactions (ADRs). We propose an active, multi-agent computer software system, where each agent is empowered with teamwork capabilities such as anticipating information needs, identifying...
