In this paper we present an application of pharmaceutical validation of medication based on an OWL ontology and business rules or more specifically clinical decision rules. This application has been developed based on a prototype that enables business users to author, execute and manage their Business Rules over OWL Ontology. This prototype is based on the Business Rule Management System (BRMS) IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules.

Background And Objective: Despite significant investments in the normalization and the standardization of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), free text is still the rule rather than the exception in clinical notes. The use of free text has implications in data reuse methods used for supporting clinical research since the query mechanisms used in cohort definition and patient matching are mainly based on structured data and clinical terminologies. This study aims to develop a method for the secondary use of clinical text by: (a) using Natural Language Processing (NLP) for tagging clinical notes with biomedical terminology; and (b) designing an ontology that maps and classifies all the identified tags to various terminologies and allows for running phenotyping queries.

Background: To develop an enhanced epilepsy diagnosis system by integrating an expert-informed ontology with a custom generative pre-trained transformer (GPT), validated by inferring possible seizure lateralization and localization using retrospective textual data from the pre-surgical assessments of patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy (PRE).

Methods: We developed an AI system for epilepsy diagnosis using Protégé with OWL/SWRL, integrating a knowledge base with seizure semiology, seizure types EEG descriptors, expert insights, and literature to pinpoint seizure locations. A customized GPT model was then tailored for specific diagnostic needs.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses the importance of both structural and semantic standards for medical data interoperability, focusing on FHIR for structure and SNOMED CT for semantic meaning.
  • It introduces a solution for storing postcoordinated expressions (PCEs) by integrating them with the FHIR data model, allowing effective medical data interchange.
  • The proposed method involves breaking down PCEs into components aligned with FHIR resources and using tools like OWL and reasoning processes to identify the best-matching pre-coordinated SNOMED CT concepts.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Machine Learning (ML), has gained attention for its potential in various domains. However, approaches integrating symbolic AI with ML on Knowledge Graphs have not gained significant focus yet. We argue that exploiting RDF/OWL semantics while conducting ML could provide useful insights.
