The ultimate goal in the pharmaceutical sector is product quality. However this quality can be altered by the use of a number of heterogeneous information systems with different business structures and concepts along the lifecycle of the…
In this paper, we attempt to provide a privacy-preserving and efficient solution for the "similar patient search" problem among several parties (e.g., hospitals) by addressing the shortcomings of previous attempts. We consider a scenario in…
Standardisation of healthcare has been the focus of hospital management and clinicians since the 1990's. Electronic health records were already intended to provide clinicians with real-time access to clinical knowledge and care plans while…
As the population grows, the need for a quality level of medical services grows correspondingly, so does the demand for information technology in medicine. The concept of "Smart Healthcare" offers many approaches aimed at solving the acute…
Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular diseases in one patient, is a frequent phenomenon. To make care more efficient, it is of relevance to understand how different…
A software agent may be a member of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) which is collectively performing a range of complex and intelligent tasks. In the hospital, scheduling decisions are finding difficult to schedule because of the dynamic changes…
With the aim of informing sound policy about data sharing and privacy, we describe successful re-identification of patients in an Australian de-identified open health dataset. As in prior studies of similar datasets, a few mundane facts…
The proliferation of connected devices through Internet connectivity presents both opportunities for smart applications and risks to security and privacy. It is vital to proactively address these concerns to fully leverage the potential of…
The abundance of data has transformed the world in every aspect. It has become the core element in decision making, problem solving, and innovation in almost all areas of life, including business, science, healthcare, education, and many…
With increasing and extensive use of electronic health records, clinicians are often under time pressure when they need to retrieve important information efficiently among large amounts of patients' health records in clinics. While a search…
With large volumes of detailed health care data being collected, there is a high demand for the release of this data for research purposes. Hospitals and organizations are faced with conflicting interests of releasing this data and…
Healthcare data contains some of the most sensitive information about an individual, yet sharing this data with healthcare practitioners can significantly enhance patient care and support research efforts. However, current systems for…
A consequence of the fragmented and siloed healthcare landscape is that patient care (and data) is split along multitude of different facilities and computer systems and enabling interoperability between these systems is hard. The lack…
When studying human-technology interaction systems, researchers thrive to achieve intuitiveness and facilitate the people's life through a thoughtful and in-depth study of several components of the application system that supports some…
This paper describes an information system designed to support the large volume of monitoring information generated by a distributed testbed. This monitoring information is produced by several subsystems and consists of status and…
A unique identification for citizens can lead to effective governance to manage and provide citizen-centric services. While ensuring this service, privacy of the citizens needs to be preserved. Aadhaar, the identification system by UIDAI…
The transfer of the medical care services to the patient, rather than the transport of the patient to the medical services providers is aim of the project. This is achieved by using web-based applications including Modern Medical…
The modern treatment of any disease is heavily dependent on the medical diagnosis. Clinical data obtained through the diagnostics tests need to be collected and entered into the computer database in order to make a clinical data repository.…
The increased availability of medical data has significantly impacted healthcare by enabling the application of machine / deep learning approaches in various instances. However, medical datasets are usually small and scattered across…
In this paper, we propose a robust health record storage and management system built on blockchain technology to address the challenges faced by traditional healthcare record systems. The primary advantage of employing blockchain in…
