Research highlights the importance of applying physiological criteria for optimal umbilical cord clamping, underlining its lasting advantages. In response, the Division of Pediatrics, Perinatology, and Neonatology at the National University of Colombia has pioneered the Immediate Neonatal Adaptation Guideline, focusing on Physiologically-based Cord Clamping. This study has two main objectives: The first is to represent the medical guideline through a statechart model to enhance clarity and detail. Secondly, to evaluate the effectiveness of statechart models in depicting medical guidelines for educational and training purposes within a human-centric framework. In this study, a group of medical professionals and engineers designed the statechart model for the Immediate Neonatal Adaptation guideline through a progressive refinement method. The model comprises 20 states, 38 events, and 4 superstates, offering clear visual language for its evaluation by an interdisciplinary panel of engineers and health professionals. This visual representation facilitates a more explicit identification of patient states, criteria, and clinical indicators involved in the procedure. Feedback indicates general satisfaction with the and of the model.

The engineering of IoT systems brings about various challenges due to the inherent complexities associated with such heterogeneous systems. In this paper, we propose a library of statechart templates, STL4IoT, for designing complex IoT systems. We have developed atomic statechart components modeling the heterogeneous aspects of IoT systems including sensors, actuators, physical entities, network, and controller.

Rats repeatedly sweep their facial whiskers back and forth in order to explore their environment. Such explorative whisking appears to be driven by central pattern generators (CPGs) that operate independently of direct sensory feedback. Nevertheless, whisking can be modulated by sensory feedback, and it has been hypothesized that some of this modulation already occurs within the brainstem.

Objectives: The goal of this research is to provide a framework to enable authoring and verification of clinical guidelines. The framework is part of a larger research project aimed at improving the representation, quality and application of clinical guidelines in daily clinical practice.
Methods: The verification process of a guideline is based on (1) model checking techniques to verify guidelines against semantic errors and inconsistencies in their definition, (2) combined with Model Driven Development (MDD) techniques, which enable us to automatically process manually created guideline specifications and temporal-logic statements to be checked and verified regarding these specifications, making the verification process faster and cost-effective.

Objectives: The goal of this research is to provide an overall framework to enable model-based development of clinical guideline-based decision support systems (GBDSSs). The automatically generated GBDSSs are aimed at providing guided support to the physician during the application of guidelines and automatically storing guideline application data for traceability purposes.
Methods: The development process of a GBDSS for a guideline is based on model-driven development (MDD) techniques which allow us to carry out such a process automatically, making development more agile and saving on human resource costs.
