The Scopus and PubMed databases were scrutinized for relevant publications from 2018 to 2022. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, the articles were determined for inclusion in the study.
From a pool of 183 initial articles, a subset of 50 complete studies was chosen. The life-cycle assessment method has emerged as the standard for quantifying the effects of devices used in clinical procedures. Frankly, there was no unique method designated for the research of caretaking operations. Telemedicine evaluations, for the most part, are gauged by the diminished need for travel, and the establishment of a consistent methodology is still underway.
In order to achieve sustainable development, a thorough investigation of other sustainability dimensions is imperative.
To build a sustainable world, various facets of sustainability require further study.
Healthcare’s daily clinical procedures are increasingly incorporating data-driven decision-making. A meticulously structured data warehouse, encompassing all clinically relevant information, forms the cornerstone for achieving this objective. We are creating a clinical data repository for clinical data spanning more than two decades, and integrating recently generated data from various sources into this warehouse. For the safekeeping of all hospital information system data, a PostgreSQL database was established within a back room. The hospital information system’s vast array of diverse formats prompted the development of a broker service, which integrates individual data sources into the data warehouse immediately upon their release for storage. From the infrastructure to the targeted analysis, the front room provides the essential interface. The exploration and presentation of processed and interleaved data is possible through the use of database query and visualization tools, or business intelligence tools. In every facet of commerce and healthcare, meticulously organized and high-quality data holds paramount significance. Patient-centric analyses, achievable through the use of a clinical data warehouse system, are crucial for achieving optimal therapy. Subsequently, control dashboards are available for staff and management.
The Digital Health Care Act, instituted in Germany in 2020, has facilitated the prescription and reimbursement of mHealth services as DiGAs. Within the field of psychiatric diseases, the most reimbursable DiGAs are prevalent. The prescribing habits of medical and psychological psychotherapists and the price points they deem acceptable are not well-known.
Investigating the prescription behavior requires an analysis of appropriate diagnoses, reasonable costs, and significant relevant factors.
Online responses from 38 medical and psychological psychotherapists in central Hesse formed the survey data.
A little less than a third of cases have been treated with DiGAs, encompassing diagnoses such as somatoform disorders, anxiety disorders, and addictive disorders. User-friendliness, alongside medical quality and data protection, is seen as a significant factor. The current average market price exceeds the reasonable price.
Though the appropriate uses for DiGAs are consistent with current market offerings, psychotherapists haven’t widely incorporated them into their practices, primarily due to the perceived exorbitant pricing.
While the suitable indications for DiGAs are consistent with market provisions, their broad-scale prescription by psychotherapists is not yet established; the prices appear, from a prescriber’s perspective, to be high.
The frequent use of event logging in medical information systems does not translate to suitability for process mining, due to the lack of a standardized logging format.
The objective of our work is to make medical event logs more informative for use in process mining.
A strategy for converting events from repositories that follow standards into the prevalent XES and OCEL formats for process mining is presented here.
This approach was evaluated using a simulation of data from the Austrian breast cancer screening program.
We plan to use this methodology to evaluate care guidelines and enhance hospital procedures in the future.
In the future, we intend to utilize this approach to scrutinize care guidelines and refine hospital procedures.
The progression of the disease can be analyzed effectively using dashboards. Nevertheless, current COVID-19 monitoring tools commonly lack the foresight to anticipate future trends. Nevertheless, this understanding is crucial for policymakers and healthcare professionals to formulate effective containment strategies.
The Surviral dashboard, a focus in this paper, is designed to permit the effective surveillance of infectious disease dynamics.
The dashboard displays a multitude of data points, encompassing both historical and projected data, all stemming from a sophisticated agent-based simulation. Disease control strategies within the Tyrol federal state were informed and planned based on the underpinning provided by this.
Through a readily understandable visualization, the dashboard provided a thorough overview of the COVID-19 situation in Tyrol, facilitating the discovery of emerging trends and patterns.
A helpful tool for tackling pandemics, including COVID-19, is the presented dashboard. This system expedites the monitoring of disease dissemination and the identification of suitable areas for proactive measures.
The presented dashboard offers a valuable resource for the management of pandemics, including COVID-19. Using this system, one can effectively and conveniently monitor the spread of a disease and locate important areas requiring intervention.
Feedback plays an essential role in furthering personal and professional growth, especially in the context of emergency services. While EMS services generally conclude at the juncture with the emergency department, the long-term ramifications of the initiated emergency interventions remain ambiguous for emergency personnel. Potentially enhancing emergency service quality and patient safety are digital, data-driven tools that deliver systematic feedback on patient outcomes.
To offer a comprehensive survey of contemporary cross-sectoral digital feedback strategies applied within EMS.
Following the PRISMA statement, a review of the literature was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar.
Following the search, 567 articles were obtained, with a minuscule three qualifying as eligible. Cross-sectoral feedback was employed in just one study to enhance quality.
Feedback, highlighted as a technique to elevate the rescue service’s quality, and incorporated in the requirements for digitalization, appears to lack a technical framework for gathering cross-sectoral input.
Although feedback is presented as a tool for enhancing the quality of rescue operations, and is included in the description of digitization necessities, a cross-sectoral feedback mechanism has not yet seen practical application in a technical context.
Telerehabilitation holds promise for yielding improved rehabilitation results. In their drive to enhance tele-rehabilitation, the REHA2030 project endeavored to integrate medical devices into the treatment process. Unsupervised deployment of medical devices within telerehabilitation systems demands the explicit specification of requirements, processes, and control systems. Using four patients and seven therapists, a field trial examined the REHA2030 system, complete with its integrated hand rehabilitation device. To enhance hand strength and sensorimotor skills, a hand rehabilitation device was incorporated into a serious game, aiming to test its usability in a home setting. Within the field trial, two out of the four enrolled patients utilized the hand rehabilitation device, completing an average of 58 and 52 sessions per week, respectively, over 10 and 5 weeks, respectively. Participant statements point to an upsurge in both the intensity and frequency of exercise, alongside a surge in independent practice motivation. The system’s intuitive nature was readily apparent to both therapists and patients, as demonstrated. infectious diseases research More comprehensive research, including a greater number of participants observed over a longer period, is needed to support the results obtained.
A major impediment to EEG data sharing across institutions is the variability of EEG file formats, with each vendor employing their own proprietary structures. The 2020 update to the DICOM standard, primarily for imaging studies, allowed for the storage and exchange of neurophysiology data.
To facilitate interoperability and vendor independence in EEG recording storage, DICOM is being implemented at Clinic Hietzing.
A pilot project was initiated to automate the conversion of EEG data from a proprietary format to the standardized DICOM format. Moreover, a central DICOM archive and the encevis by AIT EEG viewer enabled EEG review processes.
The WIGEV’s central DICOM archive contains a comprehensive database, holding over 200 long-term video EEG recordings and well over 3000 routine EEGs.
The practicality of using DICOM as a storage format for EEG data is undeniable, resulting in considerable improvements to interoperability and facilitating data exchange across various institutions.
Storing EEG data using the DICOM format proves a practical solution, yielding a considerable enhancement of interoperability and enabling smoother data exchange between different institutions.
Mapping to SNOMED CT, with its extensive collection of clinical concepts, is seen as a fundamental step towards achieving semantic interoperability in healthcare systems. The manual mapping process is both time-intensive and prone to errors, thereby presenting a considerable hurdle. Clinical concepts arranged hierarchically make the retrieval process more challenging for the user. The interface of Terminology Servers enables automation of the data retrieval process. The use of Snowstorm with semi-automated workflows is demonstrated in this work to be a significant contributor to improved retrieval process efficiency.
The aging population presents hurdles like social isolation, limited physical movement, and health challenges that require attention.
