Non-Visually Performing Analytical Tasks on Statistical Charts.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This article proposes a natural language-based approach to accessibility of charts. Formal underpinnings are used to semantically annotate the constituent elements of a vector graphic to support accessing and modifying the content by natural language...

Interactive Games with an Assistive Robotic System for Hearing-Impaired Children.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents an assistive robotic system, which can recognize and express sign language words from a predefined set, within interactive games to communicate with and teach hearing-impaired children sign language. The robotic system uses audio,...

Relational Algebra in Spatial Decision Support Systems Ontologies.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Decision Support Systems (DSS) is a powerful tool, for facilitates researchers to choose the correct decision based on their final results. Especially in medical cases where doctors could use these systems, to overcome the problem with the clinical m...

Comparison of Grouping Methods for Template Extraction from VA Medical Record Text.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We investigate options for grouping templates for the purpose of template identification and extraction from electronic medical records. We sampled a corpus of 1000 documents originating from Veterans Health Administration (VA) electronic medical rec...

Intelligent Phonocardiography for Screening Ventricular Septal Defect Using Time Growing Neural Network.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents results of a study on the applicability of the intelligent phonocardiography in discriminating between Ventricular Spetal Defect (VSD) and regurgitation of the atrioventricular valves. An original machine learning method, based on...

Pitfalls of Ontology in Medicine.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Much research has been done in the last few decades in clinical research, medicine, life sciences, etc. leading to an exponential increase in the generation of data. Managing this vast information not only requires integration of the data, but also a...

Semantic Technologies for Re-Use of Clinical Routine Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Routine patient data in electronic patient records are only partly structured, and an even smaller segment is coded, mainly for administrative purposes. Large parts are only available as free text. Transforming this content into a structured and sema...

Arden Syntax MLM Building Blocks for Microbiological Concepts and Their Application in Infection Surveillance.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis - and hence definitions - of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) rely on microbiological laboratory test results in specific constellations.

Word Sense Disambiguation of Medical Terms via Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: Tagging text data with codes representing biomedical concepts plays an important role in medical data management and analysis. A problem occurs if there are ambiguous words linked to several concepts.

Decision Support Systems in Cardiology: A Systematic Review.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The aim of this work was to identify the most common approaches used in the intelligent decision support systems employed in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and identify accuracy of these systems. Forty-one relevant publications were include...
