Title: Context Aware Pervasive Healthcare Framework

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most severe public health problems worldwide. Pervasive computing technology creates a new opportunity to redesign the traditional pattern of medical system. While many pervasive healthcare systems are currently found in the literature, there is little published research on the effectiveness and adaptation of these paradigms in the medical context. We designed and validated a rule-based ontology framework for COPD patients. Unlike conventional systems, this work presents a new vision of telemedicine and remote care solutions that will promote individual self-management and autonomy for COPD patients through an advanced decision-making technique. This framework organizes and manages patients’ data and information, as well as helps doctors and medical experts in diagnosing disease and taking precluding procedure to avoid exacerbation as much as possible. In this talk, I will highlight the main components of this framework and show methods to adapt it based on the context of patients.

Title: Precision Medicine In India: Current Advances And Future Needs.

Abstract:

Precision medicine is a medical model that proposes treatment of an individual based on his or her genetic content. Thus various and appropriate diagnostic tests are needed in a patient to find his/her genetic contents. Various tools employed in precision medicine may include molecular diagnostics, imaging, and analytics. There is no universal definition for the term “precision medicine,” although probably, the most widely accepted is the one provided by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) that defines it as ‘‘an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person’’. This at times is used synonymously with personalized or individualized medicine. Precision medicine, as defined by the National Institutes of Health’s Precision Medicine Initiative Working Group, is “an approach to disease treatment and prevention that seeks to maximize therapeutic effectiveness by taking into account the individual genetic, molecular, environmental, and lifestyle differences.”
