Enhancing cognitive informatics in EMR using sequence logo

Abstract

Cognitive informatics is a growing discipline that incorporates elements from cognitive science and information science in the development of information systems. The approaches used in cognitive informatics largely inform the design of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. EMR systems have been extensively used by physicians for diagnosis and healthcare data management, ever since 1990s. Though most of the EMR systems are GUI-based, they are not designed to incorporate the elements of cognitive informatics in operation. This research aims to propose a DICOM-compliant approach to enhance cognitive informatics in EMR using sequence logo.
