 | Summary: The emerging implementation of the electronic
health record is making available practice data to potentially be a source
of evidence to be associated with research evidence in the assessment of
practice change and innovation. The aim of this project is to create a
clinician friendly tool that can model the process of care linked to a given
clinical problem. Secondly that this model can be linked to mathematical
simulation and decision tools to support assessment of evidence integration
and comparative evaluation of elements of the care process. Thirdly that
changes in the model as appropriate can be linked to organizational models
to facilitate updates in protocols of patient management. |

 | Summary:
The design and the implementation of software for mobile computers and for
pervasive computing environments entail several
issues and lead to new requirements. Applications must handle at run-time
the heterogeneity of delivery contexts in terms of devices features,
network bandwidth, operating systems and so forth.
The issues related to the access pertain both to delivery (can the
device run the service?) and to user interfaces (how the user
interact with the service through device?). This
paper describes, on one hand, an approach where user interfaces are
generated at run-time, and, on the other hand, a
deployment strategy that, taking charge of distributing the code
according to the device capacities, leads to the "application
apportioning". |

 | Summary:
The intelligent habitat is made
of fixed components (movements detectors and intelligent electric household
appliances) and small mobile processors worn by the elder. Fixed and mobile
components communicate to assist the elder in performing his tasks and to
intervene in case of risk. The system has two types of features: those
carried out inside the residence (information acquisition, cognitive help
like sound or visual cues when everyday life activity is carried out in an
incomplete or dangerous way) and those reporting to the relatives and the
external care network major risk events or evolution of the elder health
state. The system intervention with the elder must be personalized according
to the incurred risk gravity, his health state, his life habits and his
preferred interaction mode: image, text, sound, voice. |

 | Summary:
Dementia causes cognitive
deficits producing functional impairments. Continuous care and monitoring
are thus compulsory to keep at home elders suffering from dementia.
Intelligent habitat can play a central role toward a global and integrated
solution and alleviate relatives from the care burden. The general idea is
twofold. On the one hand, the physical environment could supplement elder
cognitive impairments by providing personalized environmental cues that
assist him in achieving his tasks. On the other hand, the intelligent house
could maintain a link with relatives and medical care system to inform them
of the evolution of the disease and to alert them in case of emergency. This
paper shows how intelligent houses can deliver such cognitive assistance to
elders, prolonging the time they can remain at home. First we derive the
requirements for cognitive assistance by an intelligent habitat from the
impact of the Alzheimer disease in the daily living of elders. Subsequently
we describe the layered computer infrastructure needed to implement a
distributed intelligent house information system. The implementation of such
a pervasive system raises many issues that are not trivial from a computer
science perspective. In this paper, we focus on modelling issues. Finally a
simple scenario is used to exemplify the interactions between the
intelligent house and the elders. |

 | Abstract:
As software applications become ubiquitous, they must adapt
seamlessly to a wide range of devices. Porting complex user interfaces from
one platform to another requires a lot of efforts. Thus the dynamic
generation of user interfaces for any platforms directly from the code
brings immediate and substantial benefits. In this paper, we sketch MORE, a
framework that generates user interfaces from a reflective analysis of data
and Java code. |
