Assessing the Need of Discourse-Level Analysis in Identifying Evidence of Drug-Disease Relations in Scientific Literature.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Relation extraction typically involves the extraction of relations between two or more entities occurring within a single or multiple sentences. In this study, we investigated the significance of extracting information from multiple sentences specifi...

Indexing Publicly Available Health Data with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): An Evaluation of Term Coverage.

Studies in health technology and informatics
As part of the Open Government Initiative, the United States federal government published datasets to increase collaboration, transparency, consumer participation, and research, and are available online at HealthData.gov. Currently, HealthData.gov do...

An efficient algorithm for updating regular expression indexes in RDF databases.

International journal of data mining and bioinformatics
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is widely used for sharing biomedical data, such as gene ontology or the online protein database UniProt. SPARQL is a native query language for RDF, featuring regular expressions in queries for which exact val...

Predicting Semantic Descriptions from Medical Images with Convolutional Neural Networks.

Information processing in medical imaging : proceedings of the ... conference
Learning representative computational models from medical imaging data requires large training data sets. Often, voxel-level annotation is unfeasible for sufficient amounts of data. An alternative to manual annotation, is to use the enormous amount o...

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...
