- ItemAndroid-based access to holistic emergency care record.(2013-07-04) Koufi, Vassiliki; Malamateniou, Flora; Prentza, Andriana; Vassilacopoulos, GeorgeThis paper is concerned with the development of an Emergency Medical Services EMS system which interfaces with a Holistic Emergency Care Record HECR that aims at managing emergency care holistically by supporting EMS processes and is accessible by Android enabled mobile devices
- ItemAn Android-enabled mobile framework for ensuring quality of life through patient-centric care.(2012-08-09) Koufi, Vassiliki; Malamateniou, Flora; Vassilacopoulos, GeorgeThe drive to achieve excellence in healthcare delivery while containing costs underlies the need for a new generation of applications which facilitate the realization of a patient centric care model Under this emerging care model healthcare delivery can be integrated across the continuum of services from prevention to follow up and care can be coordinated across all settings With care moving out into the community health systems require real time information to deliver coordinated care to patients The integration of leading edge technologies such as mobile technology with Personal Health Records PHRs can meet this requirement by making comprehensive and unified health information available to authorized users at any point of care or decision making through familiar environments such as Google s Android This paper presents a framework that provides ubiquitous access to patients PHRs via Android enabled mobile devices Where possible health information access and management is performed in a transparent way thus enabling healthcare professionals to devote more time on practicing medicine and patients to manage their own health with the least possible intervention This depends heavily on the context which is collected by both Android specific core system services and special purpose software agents with the latter being also responsible for preserving PHR data privacy
- ItemEnabling the use of enhanced medical SOPs by an mLearning training solution.(2013-07-04) Papakonstantinou, Despina; Poulymenopoulou, Mikaela; Malamateniou, Flora; Vassilacopoulos, GeorgeStandard Operating Procedures SOPs has been introduced as a way to provide direction improve communication reduce training time and improve work consistency In healthcare SOPs may be considered as a means that can fundamentally change the way healthcare is provided affecting all types of healthcare stakeholders and improving healthcare decisions and patient safety Nowadays providing ehealth services is a necessity even though some healthcare organizations are reluctant to fully use them An online mobile training facility embedded within ehealth services may increase the likelihood of their adoption by healthcare professionals who feel that when needed they are provided the necessary support for performing each task as handheld devices and other mobile technologies are showing increased adoption rates This paper presents a mobile service that provides training content on SOPs that can be embedded in a relevant ehealth service and can be accessed by authorized healthcare professionals where and when needed
- ItemPatient-Centered e-Health Record over the Cloud.(2014-07-08) Koumaditis, Konstantinos; Themistocleous, Marinos; Vassilacopoulos, George; Prentza, Andrianna; Kyriazis, Dimosthenis; Malamateniou, Flora; Maglaveras, Nicos; Chouvarda, Ioanna; Mourouzis, AlexandrosThe purpose of this paper is to introduce the Patient Centered e Health PCEH conceptual aspects alongside a multidisciplinary project that combines state of the art technologies like cloud computing The project by combining several aspects of PCEH such as a electronic Personal Healthcare Record e PHR b homecare telemedicine technologies c e prescribing e referral e learning with advanced technologies like cloud computing and Service Oriented Architecture SOA will lead to an innovative integrated e health platform of many benefits to the society the economy the industry and the research community To achieve this a consortium of experts both from industry two companies one hospital and one healthcare organization and academia three universities was set to investigate analyse design build and test the new platform This paper provides insights to the PCEH concept and to the current stage of the project In doing so we aim at increasing the awareness of this important endeavor and sharing the lessons learned so far throughout our work
- ItemA sophisticated mechanism for enabling real-time mobile access to PHR data.(2013-07-04) Koufi, Vassiliki; Malamateniou, Flora; Vassilacopoulos, GeorgeFaced with rapid changes such as growing complexity in care delivery health systems nowadays fall short in their ability to translate knowledge into practice Mobile technology holds enormous potential for transforming healthcare delivery systems which currently involve cumbersome processes that slow down care and decrease rather than improve safety However the limited computing energy and information storage capabilities of mobile devices are hampering their ability to support increasingly sophisticated applications required by certain application fields such as healthcare This paper is concerned with a framework which provides ubiquitous mobile access to comprehensive health information at any point of care or decision making in a way that efficient utilization of mobile device resources is achieved To this end a cloud based push messaging mechanism is utilized which draws upon and enhances Google Cloud Messaging service
- ItemTowards a mLearning training solution to the adoption of a CPOE system.(2012-08-09) Pakonstantinou, Despoina; Poulymenopoulou, Mikaela; Malamateniou, Flora; Vassilacopoulos, GeorgeComputerized Physician Order Entry CPOE has been introduced as a solution that can fundamentally change the way healthcare is provided affecting all types of healthcare stakeholders and improving healthcare decisions patient outcomes patient safety and efficiency However a relatively small proportion of healthcare organizations have implemented CPOE systems due to its technological complexity and to its low acceptance rate by healthcare professionals who largely disregard the value of CPOE in efficient healthcare delivery An online training facility embedded within a CPOE service may increase the likelihood of its adoption by healthcare professionals as it offers them guidelines on how to perform each task of the CPOE service In contrast to CPOE on the other hand handheld devices and other mobile technologies have showed an increased adoption rate This paper considers a CPOE service that can be accessed by authorized healthcare professionals through their mobile devices anytime anywhere and allows embedded training content which has been developed through a learning management system LMS to be presented to the user automatically upon request
