The digital age is revolutionizing the old and historical population-based healthcare paradigm towards personalized medicine. Traditional diagnostic approaches fail to define treatment response or prognosis. Focusing on manifest symptoms often hides risk factors and, so prevention opportunities of diseases disappear. Today, it's known that most of the complex diseases are result of interaction of genomic, environmental and behavioral factors and personalized medicine is defined as the use of these data to determine individual patterns of disease. Personalized medicine aims to deliver a more accurate representation of medical conditions that are multidimensional, predictive, preventive, pharmacologically effective, person-centered, and individualistic services. However, reach personalized medicine opportunities, it's an obligation to extend current Electronic Health Record standards and capabilities to support genomic data in healthcare settings. In this thesis, we developed genomic sequence variation data integrated capabilities for personalized medicine practices based on an integrative approach which will allow us to use genome-wide SNP profiling data and disease models within electronic/personal health records to support knowledge based systems. Finally, developed capabilities were represented and assessed for prostate cancer in a data set as a pilot study.

Essential design components of genetic data enabled mobile personal health record systems Özkan, Özlem; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur; Department of Medical Informatics (2018) The rapid growth in the use of genetic tests in healthcare has opened a new discussion on the redesign of electronic health records to cover genetic/genomic data. Today, this information is treated in the same way as ordinary health data. However, genetic data has many unique properties that raise concerns about privacy and security issues. Moreover, in many countries, there are specific laws and regulations to protect genetic/genomic data. We recommend PHR systems for this purpose since they are under the ...
Usability evaluation of mobile information and communications technology in health care Akbaşoğlu, Beyza; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2013) Technology plays an increasingly important role in modern health care. This thesis presents an approach to usability evaluation of mobile information and communications technologies designed for diabetes patients’ use in their daily lives. According to our study conducted on 60 diabetes patients, several important findings were obtained. Fifty nine (98.3%) diabetes patients were highly satisfied with the mobile health technology and expressed that they would use it, and found the measured values reliable. F...
An analysis innovation and R & D activities of firms in Turkish medical devices sector Eren, İlke; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2010) This thesis aims to explore the challenges of Medical Devices sector in their innovative activities with the use of qualitative and quantitative methods. The specific subject of analysis is the Turkish Medical Device industry. Throughout the thesis the convergence of Medical Devices with pharmacy and its role in healthcare is mentioned in addition to the institutional regulations of the sector due to their effect on the firms innovative activities. The main focus of this thesis is the innovation in medical ...
HealthGuide: A Personalized Mobile Patient Guidance System Eren, Pekin Erhan; Gökalp, Ebru (Springer, 2018-04-01) The promise and prospects for mobile technologies in healthcare service delivery—particularly as experienced by patients and other users—are the focus of this forward-looking volume. Its detailed sociotechnical perspective takes in factors influencing patient and provider adoption of technological advances, in addition to the well-known cost and accessibility advantages. Enlightening reports show mobile health technologies in multiple contexts as an impetus for behavioral change, a means of monitoring healt...
Development of a mobile health acceptance model: an empirical investigation on physicians Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2016) The study aims to investigate physicians’ intentions towards using mobile health (mHealth) applications. In order to understand and to reveal the influencing factors, a systematic method was followed. At the first phase, a literature research was conducted to identify studies in eHealth and mHealth domains. Literature research helped to reach to the studies about adoption and acceptance of health information systems by healthcare providers, employing behavioral acceptance theories. Following that, the conce...
