Problem Solving for Volatilizing Situation in Nursing: Developing Thinking Process Supporting System using NursingNAVI® Contents.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We have identified three foci of the nursing observation and nursing action respectively. Using these frameworks, we have developed the structured knowledge model for a number of diseases and medical interventions. We developed this structure based N...

Dynamic feature selection applied to the recognition of grasping movements in the control of bioprosthetic hand.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The paper presents novel method of dynamic feature selection (DFS) and its application in the problem of recognition of patient intent in the bioprosthesis control system. In the proposed approach features are selected dynamically, i.e. separately fo...

A recommender system for medical imaging diagnostic.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The large volume of data captured daily in healthcare institutions is opening new and great perspectives about the best ways to use it towards improving clinical practice. In this paper we present a context-based recommender system to support medical...

An ontology for healthcare quality indicators: challenges for semantic interoperability.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Semantic interoperability, a popular research area for electronic health records, can also be a challenge for quality indicators. We analysed attributes and relationships in a diverse set of over 200 healthcare quality indicators and created a search...

Using EHRs for Heart Failure Therapy Recommendation Using Multidimensional Patient Similarity Analytics.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain a wealth of information about an individual patient's diagnosis, treatment and health outcomes. This information can be leveraged effectively to identify patients who are similar to each for disease diagnosis ...

Planning, execution and monitoring of physical rehabilitation therapies with a robotic architecture.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Traditional methods of rehabilitation require continuous attention of therapists during the therapy sessions. This is a hard and expensive task in terms of time and effort. In many cases, the therapeutic objectives cannot be achieved due to the overw...

A new approach for cleansing geographical dataset using Levenshtein distance, prior knowledge and contextual information.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Epidemiological studies are necessary to take public health decisions. Their relevance depends on the quality of data. Doctors in continuous care collect a big amount of data that can be used for epidemiological purpose, but spatial data may be dirty...

Enrich classifications in psychiatry with textual data: an ontology for psychiatry including social concepts.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We propose a modular approach to develop an ontology of psychiatry, ONTOPSYCHIA, based on Patient Discharges Summaries (PDS) and divided into three modules (i.e. social, mental disorders and treatments). We decided to take into account the social asp...

META-GLARE: a shell for CIG systems.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In the last twenty years, many different approaches to deal with Computer-Interpretable clinical Guidelines (CIGs) have been developed, each one proposing its own representation formalism (mostly based on the Task-Network Model) execution engine. We ...

Identifying redundant and missing relations in the gene ontology.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Significant efforts have been undertaken for providing the Gene Ontology (GO) in a computable format as well as for enriching it with logical definitions. Automated approaches can thus be applied to GO for assisting its maintenance and for checking i...
