Human papillomavirus is a widespread sexually transmitted infection that can be prevented with vaccination. However, HPV vaccination rates in the United States are disappointingly low. This paper will introduce a patient oriented web ontology intende...

Science beyond fiction. A revolution of knowledge transfer in research, education, and practice is on the horizon.

International journal of computerized dentistry
"Digitality" (as opposed to "digitalization"--the conversion from the analog domain to the digital domain) will open up a whole new world that does not originate from the analog world. Contemporary research in the field of neural concepts and neuromo...

Natural Language Understanding Performance & Use Considerations in Virtual Medical Encounters.

Studies in health technology and informatics
A virtual standardized patient (VSP) prototype was tested for natural language understanding (NLU) performance. The conversational VSP was evaluated in a controlled 61 subject study over four repetitions of a patient case. The prototype achieved more...

Evaluation of Network-Based Minimally Invasive VR Surgery Simulator.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we report a result of an experiment of a field trial of our network-based minimally invasive surgery simulator. In our previous paper, we proposed a network-based visuohaptic surgery training system for laparoscopic surgery. In additio...
