Automatic Analysis of Critical Incident Reports: Requirements and Use Cases.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Increasingly, critical incident reports are used as a means to increase patient safety and quality of care. The entire potential of these sources of experiential knowledge remains often unconsidered since retrieval and analysis is difficult and time-...

Extraction of UMLS® Concepts Using Apache cTAKES™ for German Language.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Automatic information extraction of medical concepts and classification with semantic standards from medical reports is useful for standardization and for clinical research. This paper presents an approach for an UMLS concept extraction with a custom...

Automated Transformation of openEHR Data Instances to OWL.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Standard-based integration and semantic enrichment of clinical data originating from electronic medical records has shown to be critical to enable secondary use. To facilitate the utilization of semantic technologies on clinical data, we introduce a ...

Cardiovascular Dysautonomias Diagnosis Using Crisp and Fuzzy Decision Tree: A Comparative Study.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Decision trees (DTs) are one of the most popular techniques for learning classification systems, especially when it comes to learning from discrete examples. In real world, many data occurred in a fuzzy form. Hence a DT must be able to deal with such...

Implementation of a Decision Support System for Interpretation of Laboratory Tests for Patients.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The paper presents the results of the development and implementation of an expert system that automatically generates doctors' letters based on the results of laboratory tests. Medical knowledge is expressed using a first order predictate logic based...

Ontological Foundations for Tracking Data Quality through the Internet of Things.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Amongst the positive outcomes expected from the Internet of Things for Health are longitudinal patient records that are more complete and less erroneous by complementing manual data entry with automatic data feeds from sensors. Unfortunately, devices...

An Integrated Children Disease Prediction Tool within a Special Social Network.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper proposes a social network with an integrated children disease prediction system developed by the use of the specially designed Children General Disease Ontology (CGDO). This ontology consists of children diseases and their relationship wit...

Ontology-Oriented Programming for Biomedical Informatics.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Ontologies are now widely used in the biomedical domain. However, it is difficult to manipulate ontologies in a computer program and, consequently, it is not easy to integrate ontologies with databases or websites. Two main approaches have been propo...

Towards a Wireless Smart Polysomnograph Using Symbolic Fusion.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Polysomnography is the gold standard test for sleep disorders among which the Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is considered a public health issue because of the increase of the cardio-and cerebro-vascular risk it is associated with. However, the reliabili...
