Using Semantic Components to Represent Dynamics of an Interdisciplinary Healthcare Team in a Multi-Agent Decision Support System.

Journal of medical systems
In healthcare organizations, clinical workflows are executed by interdisciplinary healthcare teams (IHTs) that operate in ways that are difficult to manage. Responding to a need to support such teams, we designed and developed the MET4 multi-agent sy...

Bee Swarm Optimization for Medical Web Information Foraging.

Journal of medical systems
The present work is related to Web intelligence and more precisely to medical information foraging. We present here a novel approach based on agents technology for information foraging. An architecture is proposed, in which we distinguish two importa...

Situated Agents and Humans in Social Interaction for Elderly Healthcare: From Coaalas to AVICENA.

Journal of medical systems
Assistive Technologies (AT) are an application area where several Artificial Intelligence techniques and tools have been successfully applied to support elderly or impeded people on their daily activities. However, approaches to AT tend to center in ...

Diagnosis of Brain Metastases from Lung Cancer Using a Modified Electromagnetism like Mechanism Algorithm.

Journal of medical systems
Brain metastases are commonly found in patients that are diagnosed with primary malignancy on their lung. Lung cancer patients with brain metastasis tend to have a poor survivability, which is less than 6 months in median. Therefore, an early and eff...

Color Correction Parameter Estimation on the Smartphone and Its Application to Automatic Tongue Diagnosis.

Journal of medical systems
BACKGROUND: An automatic tongue diagnosis framework is proposed to analyze tongue images taken by smartphones. Different from conventional tongue diagnosis systems, our input tongue images are usually in low resolution and taken under unknown lightin...

Outcome Prediction in Clinical Treatment Processes.

Journal of medical systems
Clinical outcome prediction, as strong implications for health service delivery of clinical treatment processes (CTPs), is important for both patients and healthcare providers. Prior studies typically use a priori knowledge, such as demographics or p...

A Novel Framework for Medical Web Information Foraging Using Hybrid ACO and Tabu Search.

Journal of medical systems
We present in this paper a novel approach based on multi-agent technology for Web information foraging. We proposed for this purpose an architecture in which we distinguish two important phases. The first one is a learning process for localizing the ...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease Using Enhanced Probabilistic Neural Network.

Journal of medical systems
Early and accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains challenging. Neuropathological studies using brain bank specimens have estimated that a large percentages of clinical diagnoses of PD may be incorrect especially in the early stages. In...

A Fuzzy Inference System for Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease.

Journal of medical systems
Parkinsons disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder for which patients present many symptoms, tremor being the main one. In advanced stages of the disease, Deep Brain Stimulation is a generalized therapy which can significantly improve the mot...

Automatic Identification of Human Erythrocytes in Microscopic Fecal Specimens.

Journal of medical systems
Traditional fecal erythrocyte detection is performed via a manual operation that is unsuitable because it depends significantly on the expertise of individual inspectors. To recognize human erythrocytes automatically and precisely, automatic segmenta...
