Musculoskeletal (MSK) problems present an increasing burden for the healthcare sector, particularly in ageing populations. Advances in evidence are often slow to influence clinical decisions, suggesting decision support would be beneficial. We propose a Bayesian network (BN) for providing evidence-based decision support as it can explicitly represent domain knowledge as causal relations and allows both domain knowledge and clinical data to be combined to create a usable decision model. We make a preliminary evaluation of the model's performance.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A PATIENT EMPOWERMENT PLATFORM FOR INTEGRATED CARE Sarıgül, Bünyamin; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Laleci Ertürkmen, Gökçe Banu; Department of Bioinformatics (2022-2-11) While the number of chronic disease patients are increasing with the aging population, their complex treatments are a burden in today’s healthcare systems both economically and technically. Integrated care systems are one of the most powerful modern technologies to overcome these difficulties and provide more efficient treatments. Integrated care enables planning the chronic disease treatments in a sustainable and collaborative way for healthcare professionals from various disciplinaries. It also helps care...
Self management of patients with ankylosing spondylitis through a personal health system Gençtürk, Mert; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) Today, the growth in the number of aged people in the European population imposes an increasing burden on the healthcare systems. Accordingly, the number of people suffering from chronic conditions continues rising, which leads to an increasing demand for health care services and the subsequent cost pressure on the systems. In this environment, the citizens', especially chronic patients’, contribution to their own treatment is crucial to ensure future health care supply in ageing society. Patient empowermen...
Design and development of medical recommendation system for home care service for geriatrics Beşik, Saliha İrem; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) Demands and expectations for health care have gradually increased with the longer life expectancy and decline in birth rate, however the resources reserved for health services are relatively limited. The countries with aging population problems are trying to develop new systems to obtain more effective usage of current resources. The aging population and resultant chronic illnesses has become a real problem for Turkey as well. The increase in elderly population results in more demand for health care because...
Finding potential serious adverse events of drugs by using clinical trial data and machine learning tools Demir, Veysel Buğra; Acar, Aybar Can; Can, Tolga; Department of Biotechnology (2021-12-30) Healthcare is improving day by day and these developments make healthcare more accessible and this leads to production of large amount of data. The interpretation of these data, making assumptions and revealing significant results by using data analysis methods are important here as in every field that produces big data. Analysed data that are collected during clinical trials have great effect in ensuring developments in healthcare. Adverse event reports are one of the important parts of the clinically stud...
Series: The research agenda for general practice/family medicine and primary health care in Europe. Part 4.

The European Journal of General Practice publishes a series of articles based on this document. The previous articles presented background, objectives, and methodology, as well results on 'primary care ...
