Over the past decades, various studies have tried to predict the outcome of breast cancer with the support of these data, and big advances have been done in this direction. However, only a few reports describe the causal relationships among the variables and outcomes, such as adverse events and survival rate, and usually they are very limited to a specific dataset. This research work presents a novel system that using data mining and visual analytics tools depicts in an intuitive way the patterns associated with different outcomes, such as treatment response and adverse events related to a treatment. For that the system processes heterogenous data coming from a real setting for primary breast cancer. This way clinicians can explore in a dynamic, fast and intuitive way whether certain group of patients are prone to certain outcomes.","PeriodicalId":232709,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122604555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measured signals in the abdominal area are often affected by many artifacts, so the Finite Impulse Response Filter (FIR filter) for noise suppression has been tested in this work. Testing is performed on 37 synthetic records and the evaluation of filter efficiency is performed on the basis of determining the signal-to noise-ratio (SNR) and using Bland-Atman statistics and the calculated value of the standard deviation (SD), sensitivity value (Se), Positive predictive value (PPV), accuracy (ACC) and F1, which is the overall probability of correct detection of beats. Testing is done for different FIR filter settings, and the results have shown that the FIR filter can be effectively used to reduce noise in the fPCG signal when the filter order is set to 1000.","PeriodicalId":232709,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130337579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large volume of emergency department (ED) visits and inpatient hospital stays through time provides a unique opportunity to apply data-driven methods for identifying temporal signals associated with these patients. The micro variations in the inter-arrival time of these encounters within this population are not well-studied. Computational approaches for distinguishing various temporal visiting patterns leads to the problem of efficiently clustering asynchronous time series. Thus, we propose a Wasserstein distance based spectral clustering for this problem. Asynchronous time series are first represented as histograms of inter-arrival time and their pairwise similarities are computed under Wasserstein distance. Spectral clustering operates on the similarity matrix as input thereby avoiding the computational bottleneck of Wasserstein barycenters. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by synthetic data and application to a large real world health insurance encounters dataset, identifying potential associations between temporal visiting patterns and health factors from a population of frequent ED and inpatient hospital users.","PeriodicalId":232709,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116729462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique is derived from multi-carrier digital communication methods and due to its properties of flat spectrum, fast generation and low-foot print memory, the OFDM technique for EIS seems to be a real alternative to traditional ones. The manufacture of the OFDM-EIS system is under the framework of the electrical sensing of fibrosis induced by medium to long-term active implants, given that the detection of fibrous tissues surrounding the electrode, that usually affect the operation of the implant, is an open research problem. Because of this, this article defines its performance on living cells under in-vitro experimentation where the proliferation of cells are matched with the results. Furthermore, traditional EIS techniques, such as frequency sweep and multi-sine are compared to OFDM-EIS.","PeriodicalId":232709,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125569285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Impact of Network Capacity on Quality of Communication Infrastructure for eHealth","authors":"P. Koudelka, Karel Tomala, Petr Hemerka, J. Vavrecka, R. Martínek","doi":"10.1109/HealthCom.2018.8531186","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/HealthCom.2018.8531186","url":null,"abstract":"eHealth is a term that clearly characterizes highly modern, electronic healthcare. The technological concepts and systems falling into the category of eHealth are based on the use of information and communication technologies which affect health, healthcare in general, and include a number of services and systems to support therapy preventive care, diagnostic systems and healthcare management. A specific part of the set of eHealth technologies is the telemedicine services which allow patients to communicate with their physician remotely. This includes capabilities of patient monitoring using the Internet access service or mobile communication systems. Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down measures concerning open Internet access entered into effect on 25 November 2015. The purpose of this Regulation was to lay down common rules for equal and non-discriminatory treatment of traffic when providing Internet access services and to ensure the related rights of the end users. Access to open Internet (net neutrality) represents the foundation building block of eHealth services. Czech Telecommunication Office (CTU) has defined the method of monitoring of the occurrence of discrepancies as indicators of the fact that the performance of the Internet access service does not achieve the agreed-upon parameters or, as the case may be, unavailability of the service itself, in the form of a method based on the recommendation of IETF RFC 6349. Based on a general mathematical model of the access network and practical experience from the real traffic, it turns out that it is useful to add to the current method also measurement of qualitative data parameters pursuant to ITU-T Y.1564 standard where the results of such defined comprehensive method are capable of indicating insufficient capacity of the distribution network (backhaul network), or other anomalies in the access network which could cause occurrence of discrepancies or even unavailability of the Internet access service or the eHealth service. The article discusses the issue of the impact of qualitative parameters on the compliance with net neutrality rules.","PeriodicalId":232709,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129335895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be defined as a quantitative reduction of voluntary or goal-directed behavior. ECOCAPTURE is a method developed to assess apathy in a quantitative and objective way. It consists in the observation of patient’s behavior in a multi-step scenario reproducing a brief, real-life situation. It is performed in a functional exploration platform transformed into a waiting room equipped with video and sensor-based data acquisition system. The use of 3D accelerometer is well-established to assess subject’s movement during activities (i.e. actigraphy). We described the method and the preliminary results in patients (n=12) with bvFTD matched to healthy participants (n=11). This actigraphy study aims to retain some metrics leading to a differentiation between patients and control subjects.","PeriodicalId":232709,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131493612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
