Abstract:
Today, health informatics is reshaping the research in the medical domain due to its potential to concurrently overcome the challenges encountered in the traditional healthcare systems. Prediction of exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is considered one of the most difficult problems in the medical field. Many issues face researchers in the medical domain, such as modelling context (risk factors) of a patient, uncertainty, accuracy of these factors and their relationship, and preventing exacerbation. These issues have been handled in may research projects. However, traditional treatment plan and non-fully automatic applications are still used. The goal of this research is to develop non-intrusive and reliable mechanism to improve life quality of COPOD patients. In particular, we show in this talk the informatics framework developed to manage the treatment plan efficiently and prevent exacerbations.
