  • Publication number: 20230051283
    Abstract: A system for decision support includes a path unit for determining a determined path through a decision tree that leads to a determined recommendation node including a determined recommendation. The decision tree comprises condition nodes and recommendation nodes, wherein a condition node comprises a condition associated with a particular branch of the decision tree. A recommendation node comprises a recommendation associated with the one or more conditions of the one or more condition nodes on a path towards the recommendation node. The path unit is arranged for taking into account the conditions of the condition nodes along the path by applying the conditions to a set of parameters. The system comprises an explanation unit for generating an explanation of a reason for the determined recommendation based on at least one of the condition nodes on the path that leads to the recommendation node.

  • Publication number: 20190088352
    Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium (48) stores a business process (BP) model (46) of a clinical pathway including narrative clinical annotation templates associated to node transitions of the BP model of the clinical pathway. A business process management (BPM) tool (40) comprises a computing device (12) programmed to perform operations including: executing a path for a patient through the BP model of the clinical pathway by traversing nodes of the BP model of the clinical pathway in accord with patient-specific information stored in an electronic medical record (EMR) (10), and generating narrative report content on the clinical pathway for the patient by filling in fields of narrative clinical annotation templates associated to node transitions of the path of the patient through the BP model with patient-specific information stored in the EMR. Narrative report content for parallel branches of the BP model is grouped into a separate paragraph for each branch.

  • Publication number: 20140025687
    Abstract: A report analyzing system (1) is described. A text processing unit (2) analyzes a text portion (13, 23, 45) of a report. The text portion is in a natural language. The processing unit identifies a concept (41, 42, 43, 44) in the text portion, to obtain a set of identified concepts. A concept ranking unit (3) ranks the concepts (41, 42, 43, 44) of the set of identified concepts based on a ranking criterion, to obtain a ranking. A concept selector (4) selects at least one concept of the set of identified concepts based on the ranking, to obtain at least one selected concept. An associating unit (5) associates a visual representation (31, 32, 33, 34) with the report based on the at least one selected concept. The selected concept may belong to an ontology, e.g. a medical ontology.

  • Publication number: 20080306767
    Abstract: A method for managing the weight of a subject having an associated predefined target weight, comprises deriving a target energy balance and computing the realized energy balance (303) from collected information (301, 302). It further comprises determining a weight reduction plan (304) comprising a sequence of at least two phases, representing a corresponding sequence of successive time intervals, one phase representing a time interval having an end time associated with an end time of the target period. It involves assigning to each successive phase a distinct set of phase targets comprising at least one phase target relating to food intake of the subject, physical activity of the subject, or target body weight of the subject, such that according to a simulation model of the relation between energy intake, physical activity, and body weight, each phase fulfills the constraint that the respective assigned set of phase targets can be achieved.
