Decision Support in Telecardiology: An Ontology-Based Patient-Centered Approach
Aide à la décision en télécardiologie par une approche basée ontologie et centrée patient .
Résumé
Implantable cardiac defibrillators along with telecardiology services provide improvements in health care delivery and clinical outcomes in the field of heart failure. This implies a shift from strictly device-centered follow-up to perspectives centered on the patient. In the AKENATON project, we have designed a formal ontology that supports integration of clinical data extracted from patient records with information transmitted by implantable cardiac devices, and offers reasoning capabilities to classify the alerts.
