Semantic remote patient monitoring system.

We propose an automated and personalized remote patient monitoring (RPM) system, which is applied to care homes and is dependent on the manipulation of semantics describing situations during patient monitoring in ontological models. Decision making in RPM is based on reasoning performed upon ontologies, which secures the delivery of appropriate e-health services in care homes. Our working experiment shows an example of preventive e-healthcare, but it can be extended to any situation that requires either urgent action from healthcare professionals or a simple recommendation during RPM.

Sharing information and data across heterogeneous e-health systems.

Information and data sharing across heterogeneous e-health systems, focusing on the management of patient care, have become the backbone of modern delivery of sustainable telemedicine services. Information and data available to healthcare practitioners in such environments range from patient's medical records, stored in repositories at places where patients have been treated, to a variety of information related to medical research, pharmaceutical products, or information stored within social networks of healthcare interest groups. This study sought to demonstrate two different approaches enabling the sharing of information/data across heterogeneous e-health systems: (1) Context-Aware Data Retrieval Architecture (CADRA), which secures the extraction and presentation of e-health information to users in requested format, and (2) Generic Ontology for Context Aware, Interoperable, and Data Sharing (Go-CID) software applications, which secure semantic interoperation across heterogeneous e-health data sources.

Software support in automation of medicinal product evaluations.

Medicinal product evaluation is one of the most important tasks undertaken by government health departments and their regulatory authorities, in every country in the world. The automation and adequate software support are critical tasks that can improve the efficiency and interoperation of regulatory systems across the world. In this paper we propose a software solution that supports the automation of the (i) submission of licensing applications, and (ii) evaluations of submitted licensing applications, according to regulatory authorities' procedures.
