An international consortium, involving academic researchers, health care organizations and companies is developing and implementing the knowledge-based platform of services proposed in the HEARTFAID project.
|
| |
|
>
The core of HEARTFAID platform is the Knowledge Level, formalizing all the pre-existing clinical knowledge about Heart Failure.
|
| |
| Novel, useful and non-trivial knowledge can be extracted from the Knowledge Base and from the data collected during the project, by using innovative Knowledge Discovery processes. |
| |
|
>
If the Knowledge Base represents the “heart” of HEARTFAID platform, the “brain” of the platform will be the Decision Support Systems (DSS
|
| |
| The DSS has the main goal to provide a valid support to the health care operators and the decision makers operating in the field of Heart Failure disease. To ensure the reliability and the correctness of the whole system, the clinical partners will carry out an intensive validation of the platform functionalities. |
| |
>
In terms of architectural organization, the macro components of the HEARTFAID platform are:
- multi-channel data acquisition and transmission;
- interoperability/integration middleware and use of clinical data representation and communication standards;
- medical and clinical knowledge generation and management;
- decision support services and biomedical data processing;
- end-user services and applications.
