Information System for Integration of Genetic Information and Clinical Knowledge.

This paper deals with a developed information system called a Personal Genetic Card (PGC). The system aims to integrate the known clinical knowledge (interpretations and recommendations) linked to genetic information with the analysis results of a patient. Genetic information has an increasing influence on the clinical decision of physicians as well as other medical and health services.

Towards Personalized Medication.

The paper describes some aspects of precision medicine and shows the importance of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for the therapeutic drug monitoring and model-informed precision dosing. A key element in the design of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) models is relevant literature search that represents an essential step in the procurement and validation of a new drug. Available search engine resources do not offer specific functionalities that are required for efficient and relevant search in reliable literature sources.

Personalized Monitoring and Assistive Systems: Case Study of Efficient Home Solutions.

The rapid emergence and proliferation of connected medical devices and their application in healthcare are already part of the Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) - as this area started to be named. Their true impact on patient care and other aspects of healthcare remains to be seen and is highly dependent on the quality and relevancy of the data acquired. There is also the trend of application of IoT in telemedicine and home care environment.
