Chat-Bots for People with Parkinson's Disease: Science Fiction or Reality?

Studies in health technology and informatics
People with Parkinson's disease are known to have difficulties in language and communication. This paper proposes the use of an artificial conversational agent, commonly known as a chat-bot that runs on a smart-phone device and performs two-way conve...

Automated Classification of Clinical Incident Types.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We consider the task of automatic classification of clinical incident reports using machine learning methods. Our data consists of 5448 clinical incident reports collected from the Incident Information Management System used by 7 hospitals in the sta...

Automatic Detection of Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Infections from Primary Care Electronic Medical Records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
INTRODUCTION: Skin and subcutaneous tissue infections (SSTI) are common conditions that cause avoidable hospitalisation in New Zealand. As part of a program to improve the management of SSTI in primary care, electronic medical records (EMR) of four A...

Human Activity Recognition from Smart-Phone Sensor Data using a Multi-Class Ensemble Learning in Home Monitoring.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Home monitoring of chronically ill or elderly patient can reduce frequent hospitalisations and hence provide improved quality of care at a reduced cost to the community, therefore reducing the burden on the healthcare system. Activity recognition of ...

Multiprocessor Neural Network in Healthcare.

Studies in health technology and informatics
A possible way of creating a multiprocessor artificial neural network is by the use of microcontrollers. The RISC processors' high performance and the large number of I/O ports mean they are greatly suitable for creating such a system. During our res...

Proactive Support of Internet Browsing when Searching for Relevant Health Information.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Many people use the Internet as one of the primary sources of health information. This is due to the high volume and easy access of freely available information regarding diseases, diagnoses and treatments. However, users may find it difficult to ret...

Exploitation of Medical Crisp Database for Fuzzy Diagnostic Decision Support Systems.

Studies in health technology and informatics
There are several types of Diagnostic Decision Support Systems (DDSS) but all move towards a common direction: provide assistance to the doctors/clinicians to make the right diagnosis for a specific patient, minimizing as much as possible the needed ...

AAL robotics: state of the field and challenges.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The field of "AAL Robotics", combining AAL and robotics as disciplines, has not yet been precisely defined and does not present accepted structures and concepts that would allow to communicate unequivocally its methods, projects, and approaches. The ...

Semi-automated evaluation of biomedical ontologies for the biobanking domain based on competency questions.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: Biosample collections and biobank information systems have become a key enabler for medical research. Therefore it is important to identify potentially relevant ontologies to semantically enrich information related to the biobanking domai...

Textual analysis of collaboration notes of the telemedical heart failure network HerzMobil Tirol.

Studies in health technology and informatics
UNLABELLED: Management of heart failure is usually multidisciplinary and collaboration between stakeholders in a dedicated HI network like the HerzMobil Tirol can be supported by a mHealth-based telemedicine approach. The aim is to gain insights thro...
