Consensus Development of a Modern Ontology of Emergency Department Presenting Problems-The Hierarchical Presenting Problem Ontology (HaPPy).

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Numerous attempts have been made to create a standardized "presenting problem" or "chief complaint" list to characterize the nature of an emergency department visit. Previous attempts have failed to gain widespread adoption as they were no...

Ontology-based metabolomics data integration with quality control.

Bioanalysis
 The complications that arise when performing meta-analysis of datasets from multiple metabolomics studies are addressed with computational methods that ensure data quality, completeness of metadata and accurate interpretation across studies. This p...

An Ontology to Standardize Research Output of Nutritional Epidemiology: From Paper-Based Standards to Linked Content.

Nutrients
BACKGROUND: The use of linked data in the Semantic Web is a promising approach to add value to nutrition research. An ontology, which defines the logical relationships between well-defined taxonomic terms, enables linking and harmonizing research out...

Sentiment Analysis of Social Media on Childhood Vaccination: Development of an Ontology.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Although vaccination rates are above the threshold for herd immunity in South Korea, a growing number of parents have expressed concerns about the safety of vaccines. It is important to understand these concerns so that we can maintain hi...

Ontology-Based Interactive Visualization of Patient-Generated Research Questions.

Applied clinical informatics
BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease and colitis are chronic conditions that affect every facet of patients' lives (e.g., social interaction, family, work, diet, and sleep). Thus, treatment consists largely of disease management. The University of North Carol...

Ontology mapping for semantically enabled applications.

Drug discovery today
In this review, we provide a summary of recent progress in ontology mapping (OM) at a crucial time when biomedical research is under a deluge of an increasing amount and variety of data. This is particularly important for realising the full potential...

Ontology-based specification and generation of search queries for post-market surveillance.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The vigilant observation of medical devices during post-market surveillance (PMS) for identifying safety-relevant incidents is a non-trivial task. A wide range of sources has to be monitored in order to integrate all accessible data about...

Towards the automated economic assessment of newborn screening for rare diseases.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Economic assessments of newborn screening programs for rare diseases involve the use of models and require huge efforts to synthesize information from different sources. Sharing and automatically or semi-automatically reusing this informat...

A mobile health monitoring-and-treatment system based on integration of the SSN sensor ontology and the HL7 FHIR standard.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Mobile health (MH) technologies including clinical decision support systems (CDSS) provide an efficient method for patient monitoring and treatment. A mobile CDSS is based on real-time sensor data and historical electronic health record (...
