Abstract: A disease-specific ontology crafted by a consensus of expert clinicians may be used to semantically characterize/provide semantic meaning to dynamically changing patient electronic medical record (EMR) data in critical care settings. Hierarchical, directed node-edge-node graphs (concept maps or Vmaps) developed with an end-user friendly graphical user interface and ontology editor, can be used to represent structured clinical reasoning and serve as the first step in disease-specific ontology building. Disease domain Vmaps reflecting expert clinical reasoning associated with management of acute illnesses encountered in critical care settings (e.g. ICUs) that extend core clinical ontologies, developed and reviewed by experts, are in turn extended with existing medical ontologies and automatically translated to a domain ontology processing engine.

Abstract: A SIM card for a phone has a first memory partition on which a phone user identity and phone network access data are stored. A service usage monitoring application is stored in a memory. The service usage monitoring application (a) logs information about a service used via the phone, (b) creates a service usage record for the service activity based on the information, (c) stores the service usage record in a buffer, (d) creates a reporting message containing at least one service usage data record, (e) sends the reporting message to a remote server at a preset interval based on a triggered event, and (f) purges the at least one service usage record from the buffer upon successful transmission of the reporting message.
