Studies on health domain have shown that health websites provide imperfect information and give recommendations which are not up to date with the recent literature even when their last modified dates are quite recent. In this paper, we propose a framework which assesses the timeliness of the content of health websites automatically by evidence based medicine. Our aim is to assess the accordance of website contents with the current literature and information timeliness disregarding the update time stated on the websites.

Quality oriented information retrieval and timeliness analysis on diabetes websites / Belen Sağlam, Rahime; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2014) The foremost requirement of health information seekers is to retrieve high quality and up-to date information from web search engine results. Current techniques rely heavily on Web graph structure and they are domain independent solutions. However, in health domain, to ensure information quality, a search engine should return results that are not only relevant to submitted query but also in accordance with evidence based medical guidelines. The aim of this thesis is to propose an automated framework which i...
A Multi-layer model for privacy preserving policy making for disclosure of public health data Alizadeh Mizani, Mehrdad; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Medical Informatics (2013) Health organizations in Turkey collect ever-increasing amount of individual data are valuable source of information for public health research. However, due to privacy risks, they publish data in aggregated rather than individual forms. The lack of standardized policies regarding secondary uses of health data leads to ineffectiveness of available technical methods. As a result, access to and utilization of person-specific datasets by public health researchers become extremely cumbersome. The bias introduced...
A novel report generation approach for medical applications : the sisds methodology and its applications Kuru, Kaya; Arda, Kemal; Department of Medical Informatics (2010) In medicine, reliable data are available only in a few areas and necessary information on prognostic implications is generally missing. In spite of the fact that a great amount of money has been invested to ease the process, an effective solution has yet to be found. Unfortunately, existing data collection approaches in medicine seem inadequate to provide accurate and high quality data, which is a prerequisite for building a robust and effective DDSS. In this thesis, many different medical reporting methodo...
Adoption factors of health monitoring systems for smart healthcare: a systematic review Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (null; 2019-04-13) Although there have been several studies that focus on technical aspects of health monitoring systems, adoption of these systems remains largely unknown. A limited number of researches has explored the factors influencing users adoption of these systems that provide successful system implementation. In this study, we reviewed articles addresses the adoption of health monitoring systems. We extract criteria that influence the adoption decision that has been made at some stage to use health monitoring system...
An Extensible security infrastructure for the secondary use of electronic health records in clinical research Eryılmaz, Elif; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) In order to facilitate clinical research studies re-using Electronic Health Records (EHR) has a great potential. Besides interoperability, safeguarding the security and privacy of the medical data in the context of secondary use for clinical research is one of the most important challenges in this respect. In order to ensure that the clinical information is shared among EHR systems and clinical research systems in an ethical and safe way, there needs to be standards-based and adaptable security and privacy ...
