In this thesis, a low-cost system, called Mobile Ambulance, is designed and implemented that provides patient̕s medical data collection and transmission from a moving ambulance. The aim of the system is to decrease the waiting time for critical care patients to be seen at the emergency department (ED) at the same time to equip the emergency physician with the essential medical data before the patient arrives the ED. Mobile Ambulance is a multi-tiered distributed application composed of three components: ambulance component to capture patient̕s essential medical data (EMD) and to transmit it to the ED (transmission is wireless via General Packet Radio Service, GPRS), synchronization component (synch for short) to persist incoming data into the back-end database and to warn the emergency physician, and service component to analyze the patient̕s EMD.

Special index and retrieval mechanism for ontology based medical domain search engines Kubilay, Mustafa; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2005) This thesis focuses on index and retrieval mechanism of an ontology based medical domain search engine. First, indexing techniques and retrieval methods are reviewed. Then, a special indexing and retrieval mechanism are introduced. This thesis also specifies the functional requirements of these mechanisms. Finally, an evaluation is given by indicating the positive and negative aspects of mechanisms.
An agent-based alert distribution system for intelligent healthcare monitoring Akçay, Buğrahan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) With the high-level developments in the information technologies, there is a big movement in the e-health area both to give better healthcare services and to reduce cost. Monitoring the patients from their home location is one of the important branches of e-health with the aging societies. In this work, an agentbased alert system is introduced which analyzes the alert message requests and sends the alert messages within the appropriate structure and communication channel to the related healthcare user. A gu...
Coupling speech recognition and rule-based machine translation Köprü, Selçuk; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) The objective of this thesis was to study the coupling of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems with rule-based machine translation (MT) systems. In this thesis, a unique approach to integrating ASR with MT for speech translation (ST) tasks was proposed. The proposed approach is unique, essentially because it includes the rst rule-based MT system that can process speech data in a word graph format. Compared to other rule-based MT systems, our system processes both a word graph and a stream of words. Th...
Sharing electronic healthcare records across country borders Yüksel, Mustafa; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Today, the application of information and communication technologies to healthcare is on the agenda of many countries. The main aim is to make Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) of a patient accessible anywhere at any time to all authorized users. This is even valid in the cross-border case; the European Commission has published eHealth interoperability recommendations to the EU Member States, in which the RIDE Project contributed, for the purpose of an interoperable European Health Network. Interoperable ...
Intelligent healthcare monitoring system based on semantically enriched clinical guidelines Laleci, Gökçe Banu; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Clinical guidelines are developed to assist healthcare practitioners to make decisions on a patient's medical problems and as such they communicate with external applications to retrieve patient data, to initiate medical actions through clinical workflows and to transmit information to alert/reminder systems. The interoperability problems in the healthcare IT domain for interacting with heterogeneous clinical workflow systems and Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) Systems prevent wider deployment of clinica...
