Blood is the life in our vessels. It makes up the 8% of our body weight. Loss of blood from 750 ml to 2000 ml is enough to enter us to shock condition due to loss of circulating volume. In situations like these, urgent blood transfusion needs to be handled with extensive care. Not all emergency services may have haematology experts, a good helper application with blood transfusion rules that also...
There is a diversity of risk situations for pregnant women resulting in premature birth endangering the newborn's life. The pregnant women are monitored by physicians benefiting their experience in last months of pregnancy to predict certain risks in premature birth. The paper presents a solution to prevent high risk situations, using ontology as support in profiling pregnant women with possible pregnancy...

Ontology is one of the semantic technology standard that can make knowledge sharing be easier. This paper reported a development of ontology that focus in pediatrie nutrition domain. This domain was chosen because it is one of the world problem. This ontology covers children's required nutrient intake and its amount. Besides that, it also covers the effect of excess and lack of nutrition. This pediatrie...
Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases referring to functional abnormality of heart, which is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Nowadays, one of the most popular methods to diagnose heart disease is based on electrocardiography (ECG) — a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. According to its characteristics, different patterns have been carefully studied in order to produce...
It is known that unhealthy diet, irregular life, work pressure and other factors can result in a number of diseases. Diabetes mellitus, peptic ulcer, and gastro-enteritis are just a few examples. To reduce these diseases, diet management is becoming an indispensable part in our daily lives. The main purpose of this study is to build a diet management system that can provide the user's correct nutritional...
As researchers analyze huge amounts of data that are annotated by large biomedical ontologies, one of the major challenges for data mining and machine learning is to leverage both ontologies and data together in a systematic and scalable way. In this paper, we address two interesting and related problems for mining biomedical ontologies and data: i) how to discover semantic associations with the help...
In this paper we present a literature mining framework that, by using web services offered by Pubmed, automatically retrieves a set of documents, as well as information on genes, diseases and proteins and then builds a set of matrices that are classified according to a precise methodology. The classification results are explored and combined in order to obtain associations among the main feature domains:...
The need for annotating the continuously increasing volume of medical image data is recognized from medical experts for a variety of purposes, regardless if this is medical practice, research or education. The rich information content latent in medical images can be made explicit and formal with the use of well-defined ontologies. Evolution of the Semantic Web now offers a unique opportunity of a...
In Thailand, most of people like to use Thai herbs for their traditional medical treatments. However, since there are various sorts of Thai herbs, and the Thai herbal knowledge is complicated, it is difficult to find an appropriate one for each health condition.

Information therapy (Ix) is the prescription of specific, evidence-based medical information, to the right person, at right time to help that individual make a better health decision. We have investigated the usability of knowledge management technologies in automating the delivery of medical information in Ix. In our developed solution the content of personal health records as well as the medicinal...
The Semantic Web has become a new environment that enables organizations to attach semantic annotations taken from domain and application ontologies to the information they generate. As a result, large amounts of complex, semi-structured and heterogeneus semantic data repositories are being made available. In this paper, we present an automatic method for on-demand construction of fact tables aimed...
