Health care providers often dictate their reports by filling in slots in templates. These slots can be filled with a variety of different procedures, measurements or findings. Many radiologists currently create their own personalized templates, costing time and leading to inconsistencies across physicians. We present a sequence alignment method, RADICAL (Radiology Content Alignment), that uses dynamic...
Temporal data mining is becoming an important tool for health care providers and decision makers. The capability of handling and analyzing complex multivariate data may allow to extract useful information coming from the day-by-day activity of health care organizations as well as from patients monitoring. In this paper we review the main approaches presented in the literature to mine biomedical time...
Monitoring and assistive technologies for the older adults, by sensing and recording activities and status, provide an objective record of a patient's functioning within natural environments.

These challenges include differing cultural beliefs, linguistic barriers, and variations in the predisposition to seek timely care. The effects of patient characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, income, education, place of residence...
Radiology metro networks bear the challenging proposition of interconnecting several hospitals in a region to provide a comprehensive diagnostic imaging service. Consequences of a poorly designed and implemented metro network could cause delays or no access at all when health care providers try to retrieve medical cases across the network. This could translate into limited diagnostic services to patients,...
