Premature babies monitoring at home
Data
Cooming Soon.
Method
Hybridization of case-based system with other kind of knowledge-based systems, context resasoning, personalization with case-based reasoning, integration with HIS (SNOMED-CT, HL7).

Recent studies show that premature babies who need a supervision period can shorten this time if they are in a familiar environment. However, complications might arise at any time. This work proposes an approach to monitor babies at home based on mobile phones. Baby sensors send data to a mobile device implementing an intelligent system that provides recommendations and supports the parents in the baby care. The system is composed by a rule-based system and a case-based system, using the knowledge provided by physicians and historical data. Case-based reasoning enables to personalize the recommendations. On the other hand, mobile devices enable gathering context information that are also managed by the case-based reasoning engine, improving clinical decision making. In the last step, the mobile device connects (thanks to interoperability standards) with the appropriate hospital information system, such that the medical staff always contrast the assessments derived from the application.
