Healthcare authorities have recognized the potential of information technology (IT) systems to improve the quality of service and provide better patient care. It is not easy to develop software applications that meet quality standards, time pressure, and budget constraints without making a predictive preparation. It is crucial to collect accurate data in a relatively short time while completing...

With the improvement in information technology and the rapid adoption of automatization at both work and home, people are now enjoying a life that is more comfortable and convenient. In particular, as the automatization is becoming standard in the medical field, especially in the large hospital, the demand for system that can handle various information and data are now more than ever imperative...

This paper discusses the possibility of, and provides the conceptual schema for, a wide area network of hospital information systems in the Delhi metropolitan area. Based on an empirical investigation of the pressures on the health care system in the Delhi metropolitan area, we feel that given the existing resources, a well designed and coordinated information system will enable the health care...

This paper discusses the development of an information extraction system for maternal health records. Current investigated maternal health records that exist in hospitals are written in a long and detailed paragraphs in text documents. Information extraction processes unstructured, natural language text, such as maternal health records, to extract useful information from the text. MaMIE (Matern...

Recently, wireless sensor networks have been proposed for assisted living and residential monitoring. In such networks, physiological sensors are used to monitor vital signs e.g. heartbeats, pulse rates, oxygen saturation of senior citizens. Sensor data is sent periodically via wireless links to a personal computer that analyzes the data. In this paper, we first describe the architecture of a s...

background: nowadays medical equipment plays an important role in the treatment and in the medical education. using outdated preventive maintenance (pm) system may cause problems in the cutting edge medical equipment, nervous system disease’s equipment (in diagnosis and treatment) which are crucial for every medical center. based on above facts we focused on nervous system treat units’ equipmen...

Classical constraint handling in data processing systems is concerned with ensuring the integrity of the database. Constraints are usually based on attribute values in a domain, or on syntactic (structural) relationships between the number of values under one attribute related to one under another. In the area of medical informatics, and probably in other application areas, the classical types ...

We propose an Internet-based, free, world-wide, centralized medical information system with two main target groups: practicing physicians and medical researchers. After acquiring patients’ consent, physicians enter medical histories, physiological data and symptoms or disorders into the system; an integrated expert system can then assist in diagnosis and statistical software provides a list of ...
