Transforming the population based biomedical cohort into the Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM) empowers researchers to access direct sources of information, enabling a deeper understanding of how genetic profiles relate to clinical outcomes and providing new knowledge that can significantly influence health care practices around the world.
Common Data Models (CDMs) enhance data exchange and integration across diverse sources, preserving semantics and context. Transforming local data into CDMs is typically cumbersome and resource-intensive, with limited reusability. This article compares OntoBridge, an ontology-based tool designed to streamline the conversion of local datasets into CD...
PURPOSE
To comprehensively synthesize the existing evidence concerning mHealth interventions for patients with breast cancer (BC).
DESIGN
On July 30, 2023, we searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar for articles using the following inclusion criteria: evaluation of mHealth interventions in patients with cancer, at least 30 participants with...
Background
An unprecedented amount of personal health data, with the potential to revolutionise precision medicine, is generated at healthcare institutions worldwide. The exploitation of such data using artificial intelligence relies on the ability to combine heterogeneous, multicentric, multimodal and multiparametric data, as well as thoughtful re...
The objective of this study was to summarize the evidence in relation to telemedicine systems as regards their effectiveness, costs and satisfaction in the last decade. A summary of main findings is presented. According to results telemedicine proved to be a feasible and effective tool to provide health care as a replacement or complement to usual...
This viewpoint aims to establish a coherent, agnostic, and homogeneous framework for the use of the most impactful EHR standards in the new-generation health data spaces: OpenEHR, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 13606, and Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Thus, a panel of EHR standards exp...
Background
Standardized repositories of real-world data provide a mechanism for semantic convergence of data from different heterogeneous organizations for secondary use. However, it is common for these repositories to be populated from locally designed information systems, which generates inefficient processes that are not reusable in other organi...

Дезоксирибонуклеїнова кислота (ДНК) не є випадковою послідовністю чотирьох комбінацій нуклеотидів: комплексні огляди літератури переконливо показують довго-та короткодіапазонні кореляції...
UNSTRUCTURED
In order to maximize the value of electronic health records (EHRs) for both health care and secondary use, it is necessary for the data to be interoperable and reusable without loss of the original meaning and context, in accordance with the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles. To achieve this, it is ess...
Introduction. Health care strategies based on information and communication technologies (ICTs) may perpetuate health inequity, especially among vulnerable populations. In our setting, there are few validated tools to assess access to ICTs in pediatrics. Objectives. To develop and validate a questionnaire to assess ICT access among caregivers of pe...
The purpose of this study is to provide an accurate formula for calculating entropy for short DNA sequences and to demonstrate how to use it to examine leukemia patient surviving. We used IDIBAPS leukemia patient’s data base with 117 anonymized records. The generalized form of the Robust Entropy Estimator (EnRE) for short DNA sequences was proposed...
BACKGROUND
The field of mHealth has grown exponentially in the last decade due to the widespread use of smartphones and the advancements in mobile technology, which has created opportunities to find solutions to unmet healthcare needs for patients with chronic diseases. Furthermore, healthcare is entering a new value-based paradigm, founded on thre...
Background:
To discover new knowledge from data, they must be correct and in a consistent format. OntoCR, a clinical repository developed at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, uses ontologies to represent clinical knowledge and map locally defined variables to health information standards and common data models.
Objective:
The aim of the study is to...
Purpose:
To assess the usability and preferences of the contents of mHealth software developed for breast cancer patients as a tool to obtain patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), improve the patient's knowledge about the disease and its side effects, increase adherence to treatment, and facilitate communication with the doctor.
Intervention:
an mH...
Introduction. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is not a random sequence of four nucleotides combinations: comprehensive reviews [1, 2] persuasively shows long- and short-range correlations in DNA, periodic properties and correlations structure of sequences. Information theory methods, like Entropy, imply quantifying the amount of information contained i...
BACKGROUND
Despite the growth of big data technologies and the use of artificial intelligence, in order to discover new knowledge from data they must be correct and in a consistent format. EN/ISO 13606 is a health information standard that seeks to define a rigorous and stable architecture for communicating health records of a single patient, prese...
BACKGROUND
There is an increasing need to integrate patient-generated health data into health information systems. The use of health information standards based on the dual model allows the achievement of semantic interoperability among systems. This article is framed within ASCAPE, a project that aims to employ Artificial Intelligence / Machine Le...

Since Argentina’s government declared a national emergency to combat the COVID-19 pandemic with a lockdown status, it has produced consequences on the healthcare system. We aimed to quantify the effect on the Emergency Department (ED) visits at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Our electronic health data showed that ED in-person visits declined 46...
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, changes and improvements regarding the organization have been made to adapt quickly at the Emergency Department (ED) of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina. This article describes the design, implementation, and use of an electronic dashboard which provided monitoring of patients discharged home, during fo...
Due to the heterogeneity of Electronic Health Record (EHR) standards, the decision-making teams, who are not experts in health information, express confusion for selecting and applying these resources in their data platforms. For this reason, a group of experts has analyzed strengths and weaknesses about design, modeling capabilities, flexibility a...
Non-urgent consultations to an Emergency Department (ED) contribute to overcrowding. Telecommunications represent a potential strategy to reduce some face-to-face consultations.
Objectives:
To describe characteristics of patients who used the Teletriage Program during the pilot study, to explore safety and to report user acceptance and satisfacti...
