Empowering Health Care Actors to Contribute to the Implementation of Health Data Integration Platforms: Retrospective of the medEmotion Project.

Health data integration platforms are vital to drive collaborative, interdisciplinary medical research projects. Developing such a platform requires input from different stakeholders. Managing these stakeholders and steering platform development is challenging, and misaligning the platform to the partners' strategies might lead to a low acceptance of the final platform.

Detecting Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation From an Electrocardiogram in Sinus Rhythm: External Validation of the AI Approach.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may occur asymptomatically and can be diagnosed only with electrocardiography (ECG) while the arrhythmia is present.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to independently validate the approach of using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify underlying paroxysmal AF from a 12-lead ECG in sinus rhythm (SR).

Methods: An AI algorithm was trained to identify patients with underlying paroxysmal AF, using electrocardiographic data from all in- and outpatients from a single center with at least 1 ECG in SR.

Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Response Following Vaccination With BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273.

This study compares the immune responses to the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccines in health care workers in Belgium.

LISA, the next generation: from a web-based application to a fat client.

The LISA application, developed by the University Hospitals Leuven, permits referring physicians to consult the electronic medical records of their patients over the internet in a highly secure way. We decided to completely change the way we secured the application, discard the existing web application and build a completely new application, based on the in-house developed hospital information system, used in the University Hospitals Leuven. The result is a fat Java client, running on a Windows Terminal Server, secured by a commercial SSL-VPN solution.

Web-access to a central medical record to improve cooperation between hospital and referring physicians.

We set up Web-access to the central electronic medical record of the University Hospitals Leuven. Purpose was to enable external physicians to more actively participate in the care process as full members of the multidisciplinary treatment team. They get a view on the complete care process in the hospital, and can access results as these become available instead of being provided summary information post factum.
