Abstract: A unit may use metadata associated with a key performance indicator (KPI) to generate a set of instructions for another unit on how it can load and process the data needed to calculate the value of that KPI, as well as how to calculate the KPI itself and how and where to persist the results. Using information about that set, the unit can generate a different set of instructions to detect any data-syncing issues that may have affected previously obtained KPI values. For that purpose, the unit comprises a plan execution module and a plan generator module adapted to generate plans for calculating KPIs. A plan comprises instructions to: i.) access to a processing system's raw data on data sources, ii.) process said information, iii.) and send the output to data sinks.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus comprising input circuitry configured to acquire imaging data corresponding to a branched organic structure, and image processing circuitry. The image processing circuitry is configured to determine, from the imaging data, a parametric configuration of the branched organic structure comprising solid and volumetric scaffolding data indicative of the branched organic structure, and determine, based on the scaffolding data, a multi-dimensional parametric representation of the branched organic structure.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus comprising input circuitry configured to acquire imaging data corresponding to a branched biological structure. The apparatus further comprises image processing circuitry configured to: extract, from the imaging data, a configuration of the branched biological structure; determine graph data indicative of the configuration of the branched biological structure; and detect, based on the graph data, a biological characteristic of the branched biological structure.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a computer-implemented method of annotating images in a data set comprising a first set of images which initially have annotations and a second set of images which initially do not have annotations. The method comprises the steps of determining spatial correspondences for all pairs of images in the data set, wherein each spatial correspondence represents a mapping of a location in a first image to a corresponding location in a second image. For each mapping, the method further comprises calculating a connection strength between the location in the first image and the corresponding location in the second image.

Abstract: An electronic system generates and manages multiple knowledge bases of medical students and practitioners. The knowledge bases are organized according to and for the function of specific limited medical problems. Data regarding each problem cross-references both basic sciences and clinical courses. Users are able to create their own knowledge base with the use of teaching data, their own user generated data, and third party user generated data. Data is dynamically updated, and the knowledge bases support the future medical practice of students.

Abstract: A computer implemented system and method allow users to create and edit electronic health records with the use of touch screen monitors, such that complex forms are managed by a user-friendly graphic user interface. The graphic user interface includes collapsible menus that enable the management of the complex hierarchical structure of the forms. The graphic user interface also includes a system that allows for three different values, corresponding to a positive value, a negative value and the deactivation of the data field, to be entered in the same location within the electronic form. The data elements of each data field are coded with recourse to standard medical terminologies enabling dynamic interaction and intelligent prompting.

Abstract: An electronic healthcare management system handles all relevant aspects of providing healthcare services. The system integrates workflow principles to interconnect all the different elements and persons involved in the process. The system uses personal computers with touch screen monitors and personal mobile devices which communicate via radio communication technologies throughout the healthcare facilities. Facility management, clinical practice, administrative activities and management tools are integrated into a single system.
