    Mobile-supported life charting for bipolar patients - user requirements study2013In: MEDINFO 2013: proceedings of the 14th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics / [ed] Christoph Ulrich Lehmann, Elske Ammenwerth, Christian Nøhr, IOS Press, 2013, p. 1111-Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    It is assumed that bipolar disorder patients can benefit from monitoring their mood, sleep, medicine intake and behavior which could be both done by patients themselves and in cooperation with health care professionals. This study aims at understanding what is required from a computerized system, as seen from the view of therapists and the patients, and how the newer mobile technologies (smart phones and tablets) can be utilized to support development of such a system. The study focuses on several existing solutions available either freely or on the market. Then these solutions are evaluated by both patients and medical professionals as a part of the system requirements study to be used in a new system development that will utilize mobile technologies to support the performance and patient outcomes.

    Medical knowledge extraction: application of data analysis methods to support clinical decisions1993Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    In building computer based clinical decision support extensive data analysis is sought to acquire all the medical knowledge needed to formulate the decision rules.

    This study explores, compares and discusses several approaches to knowledge extraction from medical data. Statistical methods (univariate, multivariate), probabilistic artificial intelligence approaches (inductive learning procedures, neural networks) and the rough sets were used for this purpose. The methods were applied in two clinical sets of data with well defined patients groups.

    The aim of the study was then to use different data analytical methods and extract knowledge, both of semantic and classification nature, enabling to differentiate among patients, observations and disease groups, what in turn was aimed to support clinical decisions.

    Semantic analysis was performed in two ways. In prior analysis subgroups or patterns were formed based on the distance within the data, while in posterior semantic analysis 'types' of observation falling into various groups and their measured values were explored.

    To study further discrimination, two empirical systems, based on principles of learning from examples, i.e. based on Quintan's ID3 algorithm (the AssPro system) and CART (Classification and Regression Trees), were compared. The knowledge representation in both systems is tree structured, thus the comparison is made according to the complexity, accuracy and structure of their optimal decision trees. The inductive learning system was additionaly compared and evaluated in relation to the location model of discriminant analysis, the linear Ficherian discrimination and the rough sets.

    All methods used were analysed and compared for their theoretical and applicative performances, and in some cases they were assessed medical appropriateness. By using them for the extensive knowledge extraction, it was possible to give a strong methodological basis for design of clinical decision support systems specific for the problem and the medical environments considered.

    Medical knowledge extraction. Applications of data analysis methods1992Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    In this thesis we explore and discuss some important methods for knowledge extraction from meclical data. This is done in relation to, and for the purpose of design and development of decision support systems, which could be population specific.

    To test data and extract knowledge, we use univariate and multivariate statistical methods, the rough sets theory and probabilistic artificial intelligence approaches. These methods are used to estimate characteristics of patient groups, disease profiles and other features relevant for medical problems. In particular, we apply them to clifferentiate among patient groups, develop patient models and derive decision rules. Our experience refers to two medical domains (patients with diagnosed and non-diagnosed, but suspected liver disease and patients with duodenal ulcer surgery).

    Extracted knowledge can be used both in clinical practice and health care programs, as well as in computer based decision support systems to adjust them to various clinical environments.

    Case Based Reasoning in a Web Based Decision Support System for Thoracic Surgery2013In: IFMBE Proceedings 41 / [ed] L.M. Roa Romero, Springer, 2013, p. 1413-1416Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Case Based Reasoning (CBR) methodology provides means of collecting patients cases and retrieving them following the clinical criteria. By studying previously treated patients with similar backgrounds, the physician can get a better base for deciding on treatment for a current patient and be better prepared for complications that might occur during and after surgery. This could be taken advantage of when there is not enough data for a statistical analysis, but electronic patient records that provide all the relevant information to assure a timely and accurate clinical insight into a patient particular situation.

    We have developed and implemented a CBR engine using the Nearest Neighbor algorithm. A patient case is represented as a combination of perioperative variable values and operation reports. Physicians could review a selected number of cases by browsing through the electronic patient record and operational narratives which provides an exhaustive insight into the previously treated cases. An evaluation of the search algorithm suggests a very good functionality.

    Self-reporting for Bipolar Patients through Smartphone2014In: IFMBE Proceedings / [ed] Laura M. Roa Romero, Springer, 2014, Vol. 41, p. 1358-1361Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Self-reporting of symptoms is widely used and validated in the field of psychiatry, also in the context of bipolar disorder. This paper presents work on a self-reporting system for bipolar patients using a smartphone to gather data from the patient, which is communicated to a server via a secure connection. The data is presented in a web application to a patient for his/hers self-monitoring, and to medical personnel associated with the treatment of the patient. The work described here is part of an ongoing system development and gives insights into the field research and motivation for choosing Life Charting Methodology as a structural element. Leaning on such well accepted and validated therapeutic tools should secure validity and feasibility of the final system that would appear to patients as familiar and easy to use. Consequently, the application is expected to be directly understandable to everyone involved in the treatment. Programming solutions will capture the essence, but will be adjusted to the electronic environment which will be validated for its correctness and user-friendliness.

    Cherry: mobile application for children with cancer2013In: MEDINFO 2013: proceedings of the 14th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics / [ed] Christoph Ulrich Lehmann, Elske Ammenwerth, Christian Nøhr, IOS Press, 2013, p. 1168-Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The Cherry project seeks to address the information needs of young cancer patients, their parents, and health care providers. It aims at helping the patients to understand various aspects of their disease and treatment, and allow them to assess and record their disease related quality of life. It uses elements of social media to offer a meeting point with the physician and peers. Information is presented in a way that is both understandable and appealing to young children in school age and adolescents. Preschool children will be studied as a separate user group to address their needs and possibilities to meet them. The Cherry system wants to utilize Internet and mobile technologies to benefit patient outcome.

    Information System for Postmarket Surveillance of Total Joint Prostheses2015In: 16th Nordic-Baltic Conference on Biomedical Engineering / [ed] Henrik Mindedal ; Mikael Persson, Springer, 2015, p. 24-27Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Storage, integration and presentation of clinical data is an important aspect of any modern medical research. The Biomaterials research group at the Haukeland University Hospital uses both their own locally generated clinical data and external registry data to examine explanted joint implants. As a solution to this challenge, a system prototype was developed that would enable further integration of these information systems into a multi-user environment.

    The system allows importing registry data and matching it with local data, viewing and editing of this information and exporting the integrated data for further statistical analysis. An evaluation consisting of both user testing and heuristic evaluation was carried out and generated constructive feedback.

    The prototype demonstrates the feasibility of combining these data sources in a single database and the future possibility of exposing parts of this information to external users through a web application.

    Future integration of external sources could improve the information management of biobank data for postmarket surveillance of medical devices.

    Clustering as a data mining method in a Web-based system for thoracic surgery2001In: Journal of the Medical Informatics Association. Symposium Supplement, Washington: Hanley&Belfus , 2001, p. 888-Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Cluster analysis is one way of data mining from large amounts of information. Being able to perform series of analyses, varying clinical criteria and requests, expected results of the clustering might be truly rewarding. Instead of having a few hypotheses prepared and tested, medical experts can be surprised by obtaining a set of hypotheses to further validate and work on.

    Internet technologies enable a substantial flexibility that can be taken advantage of when implementing a Web-based tool. Division of Medical Informatics together with Linkoping Heart Center of the Linkoping University is developing procedures for multivariate clustering within the Web-based AssistMe1 system.

    Information Technologies for Cognitive Decline2022In: : Advances in Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare / [ed] John Mantas, Parisis Gallos, Emmanouil Zoulias, Arie Hasman, Mowafa S. Househ, Marianna Diomidous, Joseph Liaskos, Martha Charalampidou, IOS Press, 2022, Vol. 295, p. 217-220Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Information technology (IT) is used to establish diagnoses and provide treatments for people with cognitive decline. The condition affects many before it becomes clear that more permanent changes, like dementia, could be noticed. Those who search for information are exposed to lots of information and different technologies which they need to make sense of and eventually use to help themselves. In this research, we have systematically analyzed the literature and information available on the Internet to systematically present methods used in diagnosing and treatment. We have also developed an artifact to help users obtain information with help of illustrations and text. The final user groups are all those for whom the cognitive decline is of concern. Medical professionals could be interested to direct their patients to use the artifact to gain information and keep learning at their own pace.

    Digital storytelling as a tool for conveying cancer diagnoses to children2014In: MTD Abstract Proceedings, Medicinteknikdagarna Göteborg, 14-16 oktober, 2014, 2014Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The experience of receiving a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness will be difficult for many, especially for children as they often have inadequate knowledge and understanding of what this entails (Fottland, 2004). It is therefore important that they receive thorough and accurate information about the disease together with the diagnosis, and that this information is presented in a child -friendly way. This is the essence of this project. The type of diagnosis chosen for this project is cancer, as research shows that this diagnosis evokes difficult emotions for many children (Fottland, 2004). According to Fottland (2004) many children have the perception that cancer implies death.

    The project goal is to create a digital storytelling tool that presents a story of a child that gets a cancer diagnosis and how the story main character experiences it, as well as what is happening in the body as the treatment develops. This way children will learn about the emotional as well as the medical aspects of the disease. The project has two focus areas; a psychological to facilitate the story-telling in a child-friendly learning way, as well as a technical with focus on interaction design.

    Health Facility Ownership Type and Performance on HIV Indicator Data Reporting in Kenya2020In: Digital Personalized Health and Medicine / [ed] Louise B. Pape-Haugaard, Christian Lovis, Inge Cort Madsen, Patrick Weber, Per Hostrup Nielsen, Philip Scott, IOS Press , 2020, Vol. 270, p. 1301-1302Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In low- and middle-income countries, private and public facilities tend to have highly variable characteristics, which might affect their performance in meeting reporting requirements mandated by ministries of health. There is conflicting evidence on which facility type performs better across various care dimensions, and only few studies exist to evaluate relative performance around nationally-mandated indicator reporting to Ministries of Health. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between facility ownership type and performance on HIV indicator data reporting, using the case of Kenya. We conducted Mann-Whitney U tests using HIV indicator data extracted from years 2011 to 2018 for all the counties in Kenya, from the District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2). Results from the study reveal that public facilities have statistically significant better performance compared to private facilities, with an exception of year 2017 in reporting of counselling and testing, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission indicator categories.

    K-Means Clustering in Monitoring Facility Reporting of HIV Indicator Data: Case of Kenya2020In: The Importance of Health Informatics in Public Health during a Pandemic / [ed] John Mantas, Arie Hasman, Mowafa S. Househ, Parisis Gallos, Emmanouil Zoulias, IOS Press , 2020, Vol. 272, p. 143-146Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Health management information systems (HMISs) in low- and middle-income countries have been used to collect large amounts of data after years of implementation, especially in support of HIV care services. National-level aggregate reporting data derived from HMISs are essential for informed decision-making. However, the optimal statistical approaches and algorithms for deriving key insights from these data are yet to be fully and adequately utilized. This paper demonstrates use of the k-means clustering algorithm as an approach in supporting monitoring of facility reporting and data-informed decision-making, using the case example of Kenya HIV national reporting data. Results reveal four homogeneous cluster categories that can be used in assessing overall facility performance and rating of that performance.

    Designing a Dashboard for HIV-data Reporting Performance by Facilities: Case Study of Kenya.2022In: Advances in Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare / [ed] John Mantas, Parisis Gallos, Emmanouil Zoulias, Arie Hasman, Mowafa S. Househ, Marianna Diomidous, Joseph Liaskos, Martha Charalampidou, IOS Press, 2022, Vol. 295, p. 238-241Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Health management information systems implemented in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) have provided availability of HIV-data. As such, dashboards have become increasingly popular as they provide a potentially powerful avenue for deriving insights at glance. This promotes use of data for decision-making by various stakeholders such as Ministries of Health as well as international donor organizations. Nonetheless, despite the use of dashboards in LMICs, their potential may go unrealized with underutilization of good design principles. In various LMICs, health facilities are required to submit HIV-indicator data on time for its use in decision-making. Hence, dashboards can be utilized in assessing facility reporting performance overtime in order to identify where interventions are needed. In this study, we applied good design principles in developing a dashboard, which presents the performance of facilities in reporting HIV-indicator data overtime (2011–2018). Timeliness and completeness in reporting were used as performance indicators and were extracted from the District Health Information Software Version 2 (DHIS2) in Kenya. Results for the system usability scale used in evaluating the dashboard was 87, which meant the dashboard usability was good.

    A pattern recognition framework for detecting dynamic changes on cyclic time series2015In: Pattern Recognition, ISSN 0031-3203, E-ISSN 1873-5142, Vol. 48, no 3, p. 696-708Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper proposes a framework for binary classification of the time series with cyclic characteristics. The framework presents an iterative algorithm for learning the cyclic characteristics by introducing the discriminative frequency bands (DFBs) using the discriminant analysis along with k-means clustering method. The DFBs are employed by a hybrid model for learning dynamic characteristics of the time series within the cycles, using statistical and structural machine learning techniques. The framework offers a systematic procedure for finding the optimal design parameters associated with the hybrid model. The proposed  model is optimized to detect the changes of the heart sound recordings (HSRs) related to aortic stenosis. Experimental results show that the proposed framework provides efficient tools for classification of the HSRs based on the heart murmurs. It is also evidenced that the hybrid model, proposed by the framework, substantially improves the classification performance when it comes to detection of the heart disease.

    A Novel Model for Screening Aortic Stenosis Using Phonocardiogram2015In: 16th Nordic-Baltic Conference on Biomedical Engineering / [ed] Henrik Mindedal and Mikael Persson, Springer Science Business Media , 2015, p. 48-51Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study presents an algorithm for screening aortic stenosis, based on heart sound signal processing. It benefits from an artificial intelligent-based (AI-based) model using a multi-layer perceptron neural network. The AI-based model learns disease related murmurs using non-stationary features of the murmurs. Performance of the model is statistically evaluated using two different databases, one of children and the other of elderly volunteers with normal heart condition and aortic stenosis. Results showed a 95% confidence interval of the high accuracy/sensitivity (84.1%-86.0%)/(86.0%-88.4%) thus exhibiting a superior performance to a cardiologist who relies on the conventional auscultation. The study suggests including the heart sound signal in the clinical decision making due to its potential to improve the screening accuracy.

    A-Test Method for Quantifying Structural Risk and Learning Capacity of Supervised Machine Learning Methods2022In: Studies in Health Technology and Informatics, ISSN 0926-9630, E-ISSN 1879-8365, Vol. 289, p. 132-135Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents an original method for studying the performance of the supervised Machine Learning (ML) methods, the A-Test method. The method offers the possibility of investigating the structural risk as well as the learning capacity of ML methods in a quantitating manner. A-Test provides a powerful validation method for the learning methods with small or medium size of the learning data, where overfitting is regarded as a common problem of learning. Such a condition can occur in many applications of bioinformatics and biomedical engineering in which access to a large dataset is a challengeable task. Performance of the A-Test method is explored by validation of two ML methods, using real datasets of heart sound signals. The datasets comprise of children cases with a normal heart condition as well as 4 pathological cases: aortic stenosis, ventricular septal defect, mitral regurgitation, and pulmonary stenosis. It is observed that the A[1]Test method provides further comprehensive and more realistic information about the performance of the classification methods as compared to the existing alternatives, the K-fold validation and repeated random sub-sampling.

    Structural Risk Evaluation of a Deep Neural Network and a Markov Model in Extracting Medical Information from Phonocardiography2018In: Data, Informatics and Technology: An Inspiration for Improved Healthcare / [ed] Arie Hasman, Parisis Gallos, Joseph Liaskos, Mowafa S. Househ, John Mantas, IOS Press, 2018, Vol. 251, p. 157-160Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents a method for exploring structural risk of any artificial intelligence-based method in bioinformatics, the A-Test method. This method provides a way to not only quantitate the structural risk associated with a classification method, but provides a graphical representation to compare the learning capacity of different classification methods. Two different methods, Deep Time Growing Neural Network (DTGNN) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM), are selected as two classification methods for comparison. Time series of heart sound signals are employed as the case study where the classifiers are trained to learn the disease-related changes. Results showed that the DTGNN offers a superior performance both in terms of the capacity and the structural risk. The A-Test method can be especially employed in comparing the learning methods with small data size.

    Parralel Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network for Abnormal Heart Sound Classification2023In: CARING IS SHARING-EXPLOITING THE VALUE IN DATA FOR HEALTH AND INNOVATION-PROCEEDINGS OF MIE 2023, IOS PRESS , 2023, Vol. 302, p. 526-530Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents the results of a study performed on Parallel Convolutional Neural Network (PCNN) toward detecting heart abnormalities from the heart sound signals. The PCNN preserves dynamic contents of the signal in a parallel combination of the recurrent neural network and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The performance of the PCNN is evaluated and compared to the one obtained from a Serial form of the Convolutional Neural Network (SCNN) as well as two other baseline studies: a Long- and Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network and a Conventional CNN (CCNN). We employed a well-known public dataset of heart sound signals: the Physionet heart sound. The accuracy of the PCNN, was estimated to be 87.2% which outperforms the rest of the three methods: the SCNN, the LSTM, and the CCNN by 12%, 7%, and 0.5%, respectively. The resulting method can be easily implemented in an Internet of Things platform to be employed as a decision support system for the screening heart abnormalities.

    Distinguishing Septal Heart Defects from the Valvular Regurgitation Using Intelligent Phonocardiography2020In: Digital Personalized Health and Medicine / [ed] Louise B. Pape-Haugaard, Christian Lovis, Inge Cort Madsen, Patrick Weber, Per Hostrup Nielsen, Philip Scott, IOS Press , 2020, Vol. 270, p. 178-182Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents an original machine learning method for extracting diagnostic medical information from heart sound recordings. The method is proposed to be integrated with an intelligent phonocardiography in order to enhance diagnostic value of this technology. The method is tailored to diagnose children with heart septal defects, the pathological condition which can bring irreversible and sometimes fatal consequences to the children. The study includes 115 children referrals to an university hospital, consisting of 6 groups of the individuals: atrial septal defects (10), healthy children with innocent murmur (25), healthy children without any murmur (25), mitral regurgitation (15), tricuspid regurgitation (15), and ventricular septal defect (25). The method is trained to detect the atrial or ventricular septal defects versus the rest of the groups. Accuracy/sensitivity and the structural risk of the method is estimated to be 91.6%/88.4% and 9.89%, using the repeated random sub sampling and the A-Test method, respectively.

    Risk Factor Analysis of Swedish Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Patients2003In: Annals of Thoracic Surgery, ISSN 0003-4975, E-ISSN 1552-6259, Vol. 76, no 6, p. 1993-1998Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background. The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) is established as a bridge to heart transplantation. Methods. All Swedish patients on the waiting list for heart transplantation, treated with LVAD since 1993 were retrospectively collected into a database and analyzed in regards to risk factors for mortality and morbidity. Results. Fifty-nine patients (46 men) with a median age of 49 years (range, 14 to 69 years), Higgins score median of 9 (range, 3 to 15), EuroScore median of 10 (range, 5 to 17) were investigated. Dominating diagnoses were dilated cardiomyopathy in 61% (n = 36) and ischemic cardiomyopathy in 18.6% (n = 11). The patients were supported with LVAD for a median time of 99.5 days (range, 1 to 873 days). Forty-five (76%) patients received transplants, and 3 (5.1%) patients were weaned from the device. Eleven patients (18.6%) died during LVAD treatment. Risk factor analysis for mortality before heart transplantation showed significance for a high total amount of autologous blood transfusions (p < 0.001), days on mechanical ventilation postoperatively (p < 0.001), prolonged postoperative intensive care unit stay (p = 0.007), and high central venous pressure 24 hours postoperatively and at the final measurement (p = 0.03 and 0.01, respectively). Mortality with LVAD treatment was 18.6% (n = 11). High C-reactive protein (p = 0.001), low mean arterial pressure (p = 0.03), and high cardiac index (p = 0.03) preoperatively were risk factors for development of right ventricular failure during LVAD treatment. Conclusions. The Swedish experience with LVAD as a bridge to heart transplantation was retrospectively collected into a database. This included data from transplant and nontransplant centers. Figures of mortality and morbidity in the database were comparable to international experience. Specific risk factors were difficult to define retrospectively as a result of different protocols for follow-up among participating centers. © 2003 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

    Abstract [en]

    The severity of chronic hepatitis C infection in the Individual patient is monitored using blood laboratory findings and liver biopsy. Lf blood test results could be shown to provide sufficient information concerning the disease, the invasive procedure of liver biopsy could perhaps be avoided in some instances. This study assessed the clinical relevance of blood laboratory tests for detecting disease-related changes. in the liver. Histopathological classification was used ta assign class membership of the patients and data mining operations were performed in an elaborate way on 19 different data sets. Disease activity could be detected by a small set of blood tests. Extended sets could identify more severe changes, but failed to distinguish them. The extracted rules are implemented as a part of the knowledge base of a corresponding decision support system aimed at specialists and general practitioners.
