    New solutions in the direction of medical and pharmaceutical information in Ukraine
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Lendyak, Artur
    Today in Ukraine can be noticed the rash development of medicine and pharmacy, which demands new ways of transformation in systems of medical and pharmaceutical information in this country. The work was based on the study of the project Doctor.UA. In 2003 was opened four-years test project, which was named Pre-Doctor.UA and it in simplified form modelled Doctor.UA. In this work the results of activity of Pre-Doctor.UA were drew up on the base of following methods: statistical analyses, usability-testing, interviewing the visitors. Using the Internet in building new sustainable systems of medical and pharmaceutical information in Ukraine proved its practicability.

    EPR Access Authorization of Medical Teams Based on Patient Consent
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Eskeland, Sigurd; Oleshchuk, Vladimir
    Electronic patient records (EPR) may contain highly confidential and personal medical information. It is therefore essential that medical data is properly protected and managed. Today, it is widely recognized that patients have a right to self- determination and to exert control of their own medical data by consent. In this paper, we present a cryptographic EPR access authorization scheme that incorporates patient consent as a basis for granting EPR access to medical teams or practitioners. This ensures that only the medical practitioners specified by a consenting patient are granted EPR access. If a patient is unconscious, the variation of the scheme allows an emergency or security team to act on behalf of the patient.

    Goals and Challenges for the realization of a European wide eHealth infrastructure
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Thiel, Andreas; Eichelberg, Marco; Wein, Berthold; Namli, Tuncay; Dogac, Asuman
    A number of Electronic Health Record (EHR) standards and frameworks have been developed to assist with the interoperability and integration of distributed EHR information. Ideally, all EHR systems would adopt common and systematized hierarchies of component names, use multi-lingual clinical coding systems with perfect cross-mappings and use identical reference models for measurements. However, this has not been realized yet. Not only do a number of international health information standards exist, such as CEN EN 13606, HL7 and GEHR, but each country, state, division, hospital and vendor usually has their own “standard clinical data model”. Since it is not realistic to expect to have a single universally accepted clinical data model that will be adhered to all over Europe and that the clinical practice, terminology systems and EHR systems are all a long way from such a complete harmonisation. This paper presents some results of the RIDE project; a project that will address the interoperability of eHealth systems with special emphasis on semantic interoperability. The paper describes relevant goals for the development of the eHealth sector in Europe that have been identified in the project as common requirements for many eHealth applications and names the technical and organisational challenges accompanying these goals.

    Mobile telemedicine: robots, fish and other stories...
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Armfield, Nigel R.; Bensink, Mark; Smith, Anthony C.; Donovan, Tim; Wootton, Richard
    In Queensland, access to specialist and sub-specialist paediatric care outside of major metropolitan centres is very limited. We describe our approach to the design and development of two mobile telemedicine systems designed for delivering paediatric and neonatal care at a distance. We comment on our experience with the systems and issues relating to their successful implementation.

    On the “pathway” towards ICT-support for a better and sustainable healthcare
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Cabitza, Federico; Sarini, Marcello
    This paper focuses on clinical pathways, a tool that physicians are introducing to support the management of patients’ illness trajectories. We undertook a six months long observational study in an intensive care unit of an important Italian teaching hospital and we acknowledged with physicians the importance of relying on well-agreed and properly defined clinical pathways in daily care practice. As a result of this study, we propose a roadmap on how to participatorily design a computer-based system supporting practitioners’ decisions on the basis of the integration between clinical data and the indications reported in clinical pathways.

    Tele-monitoring and Assistant System for People with Hearing Deficiencies: First Results from a User Requirement Study
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Meis, M.; Appell, J.-E.; Hohmann, V.; Son, N. v.; Frowein, H.; Öster, A.-M.; Hein, A.
    In this paper the concept and architecture of a monitoring and assistant system for people with hearing deficiencies will be described and a first user study will be presented. Core of this concept is the implementation of algorithms that are usually used in hearing aids at a central Home Information and Communication (HIC) platform. This platform integrates formerly separated devices like TV, telephone, and home automation. Thereby, the TV becomes the central human ma- chine interface of the household linking together most of the acoustic inputs lis- tened to by the hearing impaired in his/her home environment. Using the central HIC platform the acoustic inputs can be amplified and adapted according to the specific hearing impairment and the individual thresholds of hearing. These thresholds will be estimated during the initial diagnosis at the audiologist and transmitted to the HIC platform. Supportive Audio Signal Processing (SASP) algorithms are used to fine-tune the amplification according to the acoustic situation of the living room. These fine-tuning, frequent tests of speech understanding and monitoring of the individual adjustment of volume and sound controller are used as a feedback to the audiologist. In this way the transition from mild to moderate or severe hearing loss can be supervised, the use of hearing aids can be motivated and the adjustment of hearing aids can be improved and adapted to the individual situa- tion of the patient. The ideas of this sound processing and alerting system at home, the so called Hearing at Home System (HaH) were presented to 62 hearing aid users and non-users (“young-old” to “old-old”; mean age: 69yrs.) of three countries (Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany) with a different degree of hearing loss (from slight to moderate). The first results of the user requirement study showed, that most of the users will benefit from the HaH environment system, and the results are very useful for further research and development, also in the realm of tele-monitoring applications. This project has been funded by the European Commission (FP6-2005-IST-6 pro- ject 045089).

    Integrating Context Information in a Mobile Environment using the eSana Framework
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Savini, Marco; Stormer, Henrik; Meier, Andreas
    Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous in everyday’s life, their popularity and place independence are reasons for using these devices in different areas. One such area is electronic health, where patients can install small applications on their mobile devices that help or guide them in certain situations. The eSana framework offers a set of tools and approaches that allow the transmission of discrete physiological values electronically in order to evaluate them by medical experts. This paper presents an extension to this framework that includes the use of contextual information to improve eSana. The use case “Find nearby pharmacy” will illustrate a simple application that uses context information to guide the patient to the best pharmacy within his range. A second use case will enrich the existing idea of transmitting physiological parameters with context information.

    Meta-Orchestration of E-Services for Process-oriented Coordination in Healthcare Networks
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Purucker, Jörg; Schicker, Günter; Affes, Firas; Bodendorf, Freimut
    Coordination in healthcare networks becomes more and more important to enable integrated care scenarios and to increase quality and efficiency in treatment processes. After identification of shortfalls in existing concepts and solutions a process-oriented approach is introduced which enhances integrated care scenarios by IT-driven coordination of interorganizational treatment processes – the concept of process-based e-service logistics. The concept is guided by process orientation, service orientation and individualization. A meta-orchestration approach is presented that implements the concept of process-based e-service-logistics by execution of individual treatment processes, identification of coordination tasks between network actors, and dynamic allocation of e-services.

    CARA-D: Data Elements for a Computer based Cancer Risk Assessment System
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Yang, Gi-Chul; Oh, Haeng-Un
    Data elements are important part of a computer based cancer risk assessment system. The selection of the data elements are more important for the system built based on Case Based Reasoning (CBR) technology. The system CARA is a computer based cancer risk assessment system that adapts CBR technology. The data elements and an overall architecture that can assure high performance of the CARA are described in this article.

    Evaluation of E-Learning Practices in Undergraduate Medical Education: Results of a Survey in Sri Lanka
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Edirippulige, Sisira; Marasinghe, Rohana B.; Smith, Anthony C; Fujisawa, Yoshikazu; Herath, Walisundara B; Jiffry, M T M; Wootton, Richard
    Objective: The present study investigates the knowledge, perceptions and the utilisation of e-learning modalities in medical education by the students in Sri Lanka. We also examined the potential barriers which may prevent the uptake of e-learning strategies in health and medical education. Methods: A questionnaire focusing on the knowledge, attitudes and expectations of medical students towards e-learning was distributed to all final year medical students (n=136) at the Faculty of Medicine, Sri Jayewardenepura University, Sri Lanka. The survey was conducted during their regular lectures and completed questionnaires were collected after their classes. Findings: 100 surveys (74%) were completed and returned. Nearly half of the respondents (43%) admitted that they were familiar with the term e-learning. Only 19% of respondents stated that they had used e-learning modalities for educational purposes. The majority of respondents said that they had not used web-based learning material or multimedia resources for medical education. However, more than half of (56%) respondents agreed that e-learning modalities would be useful tools in medical education and 49% said that e-learning must be expanded in medical education. Conclusions: Despite the majority of respondents believed that e-learning modalities can be a useful tool to address some of the problems in medical education in developing countries, a lack of technology and learning opportunities have restricted the potential benefits.
