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...

Development of text mining based classification of written communication within a telemedical collaborative network.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Chronic diseases like Heart Failure are widespread in the ageing population. Affected patients can be treated with the aid of a disease management program, including a telemedical collaborative network. Evaluation of a currently used system has shown...

Semantic retrieval and navigation in clinical document collections.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Patients with chronic diseases undergo numerous in- and outpatient treatment periods, and therefore many documents accumulate in their electronic records. We report on an on-going project focussing on the semantic enrichment of medical texts, in orde...

Acquisition of Character Translation Rules for Supporting SNOMED CT Localizations.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Translating huge medical terminologies like SNOMED CT is costly and time consuming. We present a methodology that acquires substring substitution rules for single words, based on the known similarity between medical words and their translations, due ...

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...

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...

Lessons learned in the generation of biomedical research datasets using Semantic Open Data technologies.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Biomedical research usually requires combining large volumes of data from multiple heterogeneous sources. Such heterogeneity makes difficult not only the generation of research-oriented dataset but also its exploitation. In recent years, the Open Dat...

A connecting system for cardiological lexicons.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The purpose of this paper is to present the approach and the development of a software application ("lexicons connecting" system) to correlate effectively and unambiguously the correspondence between the specialist medical vocabulary and the familiar...
