- ItemA communication and information technology infrastructure for real time monitoring and management of type 1 diabetes patients.(2007-11-16) Skevofilakas, Marios; Mougiakakou, Stavroula G; Zarkogianni, Konstantia; Aslanoglou, Erika; Pavlopoulos, Sotiris A; Vazeou, Andriani; Bartsocas, Christos S; Nikita, Konstantina SThis paper is focused on the integration of state of the art technologies in the fields of telecommunications simulation algorithms and data mining in order to develop a Type 1 diabetes patient s semi to fully automated monitoring and management system The main components of the system are a glucose measurement device an insulin delivery system insulin injection or insulin pumps a mobile phone for the GPRS network and a PDA or laptop for the Internet In the medical environment appropriate infrastructure for storage analysis and visualizing of patients data has been implemented to facilitate treatment design by health care experts
- ItemE-Health towards ecumenical framework for personalized medicine via Decision Support System.(2010-11-24) Kouris, Ioannis; Tsirmpas, Charalampos; Mougiakakou, Stavroula G; Iliopoulou, Dimitra; Koutsouris, DimitrisThe purpose of the present manuscript is to present the advances performed in medicine using a Personalized Decision Support System PDSS The models used in Decision Support Systems DSS are examined in combination with Genome Information and Biomarkers to produce personalized result for each individual The concept of personalize medicine is described in depth and application of PDSS for Cardiovascular Diseases CVD and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus T1DM are analyzed Parameters extracted from genes biomarkers nutrition habits lifestyle and biological measurements feed DSSs incorporating Artificial Intelligence Modules AIM to provide personalized advice medication and treatment
- ItemA feasibility study for the provision of electronic healthcare tools and services in areas of Greece, Cyprus and Italy.(2011-07-01) Mougiakakou, Stavroula G; Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos; Perakis, Kostas; Papadopoulos, Homer; Androulidakis, Aggelos; Konnis, Georgios; Tranfaglia, Riccardo; Pecchia, Leandro; Bracale, Umberto; Pattichis, Constantinos; Koutsouris, DimitriosBACKGROUND Through this paper we present the initial steps for the creation of an integrated platform for the provision of a series of eHealth tools and services to both citizens and travelers in isolated areas of the southeast Mediterranean and on board ships travelling across it The platform was created through an INTERREG IIIB ARCHIMED project called INTERMED METHODS The support of primary healthcare home care and the continuous education of physicians are the three major issues that the proposed platform is trying to facilitate The proposed system is based on state of the art telemedicine systems and is able to provide the following healthcare services i Telecollaboration and teleconsultation services between remotely located healthcare providers ii telemedicine services in emergencies iii home telecare services for at risk citizens such as the elderly and patients with chronic diseases and iv eLearning services for the continuous training through seminars of both healthcare personnel physicians nurses etc and persons supporting at risk citizens These systems support data transmission over simple phone lines internet connections integrated services digital network digital subscriber lines satellite links mobile networks GPRS 3G and wireless local area networks The data corresponds among others to voice vital biosignals still medical images video and data used by eLearning applications The proposed platform comprises several systems each supporting different services These were integrated using a common data storage and exchange scheme in order to achieve system interoperability in terms of software language and national characteristics RESULTS The platform has been installed and evaluated in different rural and urban sites in Greece Cyprus and Italy The evaluation was mainly related to technical issues and user satisfaction The selected sites are among others rural health centers ambulances homes of at risk citizens and a ferry CONCLUSIONS The results proved the functionality and utilization of the platform in various rural places in Greece Cyprus and Italy However further actions are needed to enable the local healthcare systems and the different population groups to be familiarized with and use in their everyday lives mature technological solutions for the provision of healthcare services
- ItemSMARTDIAB: a communication and information technology approach for the intelligent monitoring, management and follow-up of type 1 diabetes patients.(2010-07-27) Mougiakakou, Stavroula G; Bartsocas, Christos S; Bozas, Evangelos; Chaniotakis, Nikos; Iliopoulou, Dimitra; Kouris, Ioannis; Pavlopoulos, Sotiris; Prountzou, Aikaterini; Skevofilakas, Marios; Tsoukalis, Alexandre; Varotsis, Kostas; Vazeou, Andrianni; Zarkogianni, Konstantia; Nikita, Konstantina SSMARTDIAB is a platform designed to support the monitoring management and treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus T1DM by combining state of the art approaches in the fields of database DB technologies communications simulation algorithms and data mining SMARTDIAB consists mainly of two units 1 the patient unit PU and 2 the patient management unit PMU which communicate with each other for data exchange The PMU can be accessed by the PU through the internet using devices such as PCs laptops with direct internet access or mobile phones via a Wi Fi General Packet Radio Service access network The PU consists of an insulin pump for subcutaneous insulin infusion to the patient and a continuous glucose measurement system The aforementioned devices running a user friendly application gather patient s related information and transmit it to the PMU The PMU consists of a diabetes data management system DDMS a decision support system DSS that provides risk assessment for long term diabetes complications and an insulin infusion advisory system IIAS which reside on a Web server The DDMS can be accessed from both medical personnel and patients with appropriate security access rights and front end interfaces The DDMS apart from being used for data storage retrieval provides also advanced tools for the intelligent processing of the patient s data supporting the physician in decision making regarding the patient s treatment The IIAS is used to close the loop between the insulin pump and the continuous glucose monitoring system by providing the pump with the appropriate insulin infusion rate in order to keep the patient s glucose levels within predefined limits The pilot version of the SMARTDIAB has already been implemented while the platform s evaluation in clinical environment is being in progress
