The delivery of quality healthcare to all citizens at reasonable costs is an important challenge. With the increase in the aging population, the costs of managing chronic diseases increase. Today, healthcare services tend to shift from recovery to prevention. Remote healthcare monitoring is crucial for prevention and monitoring of chronic diseases since they require continuous and long-term monitoring. The advances in networking, mobile communications and medical device technologies offer a great potential to realize remote healthcare monitoring. However, seamless integration of multi-modal medical devices to the existing healthcare information systems is necessary for the automated use of medical device observations in related applications. The thesis addresses the automatic acquisition and use of multi-modal medical device observations in healthcare information systems. The interoperability of medical devices with healthcare information systems requires both physical connectivity and application level interoperability. Therefore, the thesis concentrates on both the medical device domain and the interoperability efforts on the existing healthcare information systems. It provides an interoperability solution based on ISO/IEEE 11073 and HL7 standards. This work is also realized the automatic acquisition and use of multi-modal medical device observations in an intelligent healthcare monitoring and decision support system which is developed as a part of the IST-027074 SAPHIRE project funded by the European Commission.

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 ...
Achieving Clinical Statement Interoperability Using R-MIM and Archetype-Based Semantic Transformations Kılıç, Özgün Ozan (2009-07-01) Effective use of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) has the potential to positively influence both the quality and the cost of health care. Consequently, sharing patient's EHRs is becoming a global priority in the healthcare information technology domain. This paper addresses the interoperability of EHR structure and content. It describes how two different EHR standards derived from the same reference information model (RIM) can be mapped to each other by using archetypes, refined message information mode...
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...
Achieving electronic healthcare record (ehr) interoperability across healthcare information systems Kılıç, Özgür; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Providing an interoperability infrastructure for Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) is on the agenda of many national and regional eHealth initiatives. Two important integration profiles have been specified for this purpose: the "IHE Cross-enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)" and the "IHE Cross Community Access (XCA)". XDS describes how to share EHRs in a community of healthcare enterprises and XCA describes how EHRs are shared across communities. However, currently no solution addresses some of the importa...
A Method to improve the communication between information technology and healthcare professionals during mobile healthcare application development Erturan, Yusuf Nasuh; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Tokdemir, Gül; Department of Health Informatics (2013) Mobile healthcare applications constitute alternative tools to increase service quality and effectiveness, decrease time spent on service presentation and therefore they are reforming and changing healthcare service delivery. Achievement in this reform depends on the effectiveness of the developed mobile healthcare applications. Development of effective mobile healthcare applications, on the other hand, requires detailed domain knowledge which normally IT professionals do not have. To provide a solution to ...
