abstract = {Developmental delay is a deviation development from the normative milestones during the childhood and it may be caused by neurological disorders. Early stimulation is a standardized and simple technique to treat developmental delays in children (aged 0-3 years), allowing them to reach the best development possible and to mitigate neuropsychomotor sequelae. However, the outcomes of the treatment depending on the involvement of the family, to continue the activities at home on a daily basis. To empower and educate parents of children with neurodevelopmental delays to administer standardized early stimulation programs at home, we developed a mobile early stimulation program that provides timely and evidence-based clinical decision support to health professionals and a personalized guidance to parents about how to administer early stimulation to their child at home.},

abstract = {Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. It is well understood that if modifiable risk factors are targeted, most chronic diseases can be prevented. Lifetime health is an emerging health paradigm that aims to assist individuals to achieve desired health targets, and avoid harmful lifecycle choices to mitigate the risk of chronic diseases. Early risk identification is central to lifetime health. In this paper, we present a digital health-based platform (PRISM) that leverages artificial intelligence, data visualization and mobile health technologies to empower citizens to self-assess, self-monitor and self-manage their overall risk of major chronic diseases and pursue personalized chronic disease prevention programs. PRISM offers risk assessment tools for 5 chronic conditions, 2 psychiatric disorders and 8 different cancers.},

abstract = {In this thesis, we investigate semantic web based methods for representing, linking and analyzing medical data. The main challenge addressed in this work is the transformation of data stored in a relational database to an ontological model that allows to represent as RDF triples and to link the data with external data sources using linked data principles. We have implemented a semantic analytics framework that comprises the following elements: (a) Domain-specific ontology to represent the data model and data inference. (b) RDMS data extraction using a domain-specific ontology (TBOX) based on the relational database schema; (c) Ontology instantiation (ABOX) that involves converting the relational data in terms of RDF triples. A key feature of our approach is the data is not physically migrated from the RDBS to RDF, rather we dynamically materialize the RDF triples thus avoiding the creation of a large RDF dump; (d) Linking the RDF data with available open data in RDF format using ontology-based concept alignments; and (e) Semantic analytics using SPARQL to identify semantically-salient patterns within the data. We have applied our semantic analytics data to analyze pathology lab data (over 5 years of pathology order data), where we were able to identify prevalent order-sets inherent within the data, and we also evaluated the change in the frequent order-sets over a five year time period.},

abstract = {1. Introduction
Patient portals facilitate interaction between physicians and
patients, empower and engage patients in participate in the
decision-making process [1]. Despite being useful tools, they
frequently fail to realize their full potential due to usability
issues related to user interface (UI) design. Poorly designed
interfaces may lead to stress, confusion, frustration,
translation of knowledge, and eventual abandonment of the
application [2]. A UI can be designed using general UI design
guidelines, but it might not be tailored towards user’s
perceptual and cognitive abilities and health care needs. Such
personalization can be achieved by integrating psychological
theories that concentrate on users’ needs and cognition.
User-centric (UC) model is concerned about knowing the users’
needs, goals, and what are the requirements needed to fulfill
their goals [2,3]. Cognitive load (CL) model is mainly about the
human short-term memory that might affect the human ability to
memorize or complete a certain task, improve the productivity,
usability, and benefit from the application [4,5]. The objective
of this research is to integrate UC and CL models in UI design of
a patient portal application and study its impact on user’s
satisfaction and experience.
2. Methods
General UI guidelines were gathered from the literature review.
UI design specifications were then derived from UC and CL models.
These specifications were integrated with general UI guidelines
to create two individual and comprehensive sets of UI
specifications. These were used to implement two patient portal
UI prototypes based on the two psychological theories (i.e. UC
and CL). Although both UI prototypes, encompass similar features
in terms of task specification, system and interface
functionality, the actual representation of these features is
different and in accordance with the two sets of specifications. A
cognitively-based usability testing such as Think Aloud Protocol
will be used to gather user feedback on the two prototypes [6].
3. Results
Two models for UI design were created based on UC and CL
theories. The UC interface exhibit a background picture, personal
photo and information about the patient in the header section;
which make it more personalized and user oriented. Presentation
of information is done in a table format to facilitate the
user’s needs and goals. On the other hand, CL model included
less information on each page and used color coding to connect
categories and subcategories together. It also contains more
visualization and navigational options of data to reduce the
cognitive load on users. Usability testing will be done with
patients to gather their feedback and compare the two models in
regard to ease of use, screen layout design and navigation, and
overall satisfaction of users.
4. Conclusions
UI specifications based on two psychological theories were used
to design and develop the two interfaces for a patient portal.
The impact of these theories on the acceptability and usability
of the interfaces will be studied through a usability study. The
study will also enable us to compare the two theories in regard
to the user’s satisfaction and preferences in UI design of a
health care application.},

abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate Diabetes Web-Centric Information and Support Environment (D-WISE) that offers 1) a computerized decision-support system to assist physicians to A) use the Canadian Diabetes Association clinical practice guidelines (CDA CPGs) to recommend evidence-informed interventions; B) offer a computerized readiness assessment strategy to help physicians administer behaviour-change strategies to help patients adhere to disease self-management programs; and 2) a patient-specific diabetes self-management application, accessible through smart mobile devices, that offers behaviour-change interventions to engage patients in self-management. METHODS: The above-mentioned objectives were pursued through a knowledge management approach that involved 1) Translation of paper-based CDA CPGs and behaviour-change models as computerized decision-support tools that will assist physicians to offer evidence-informed and personalized diabetes management and behaviour-change strategies; 2) Engagement of patients in their diabetes care by generating a diabetes self-management program that takes into account their preferences, challenges and needs; 3) Empowering patients to self-manage their condition by providing them with personalized educational and motivational messages through a mobile self-management application. The theoretical foundation of our research is grounded in behaviour-change models and healthcare knowledge management. We used 1) knowledge modelling to computerize the paper-based CDA CPGs and behaviour-change models, in particular, the behaviour-change strategy elements of A) readiness-to-change assessments; B) motivation-enhancement interventions categorized along the lines of patients' being ready, ambivalent or not ready; and C) self-efficacy enhancement. The CDA CPGs and the behaviour-change models are modelled and computerized in terms of A) a diabetes management ontology that serves as the knowledge resource for all the services offered by D-WISE; B) decision support services that use logic-based reasoning algorithms to utilize the knowledge encoded within the diabetes management ontology to assist physicians by recommending patient-specific diabetes-management interventions and behaviour-change strategies; C) a mobile diabetes self-management application to engage and educate diabetes patients to self-manage their condition in a home-based setting while working in concert with their family physicians. RESULTS: We have been successful in creating and conducting a usability assessment of the physician decision support tool. These results will be published once the patient self- management application has been evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: D-WISE will be evaluated through pilot studies measuring 1) the usability of the e-Health interventions; and 2) the impact of the interventions on patients' behaviour changes and diabetes control},

abstract = {Nursing Care Plans (NCP) and Nursing Clinical Practice Guidelines (NCPG) promote evidence-based patient care, but in their paper form they are difficult to be applied at the point-of-care. We present our approach to generate patient-specific nursing care plans by modeling and computerizing these nursing knowledge resources. We present a Nursing CarePlan Ontology (NCO) that models the NCP and NCPG to realize an integrated knowledge base for designing and executing patient-specific nursing CarePlans. We adapted METHONTOLOGY methodology for ontology engineering to develop our OWL-based NCO, and instantiated a set of NCP and NCPG. We have developed an execution engine that provides recommendations to nurses based on the patient's data. NCO was successfully evaluated for representational accuracy and completeness using a set of test NCP and NCPG.},
