To make remote monitoring devices interoperable, we must examine a variety of use cases and the current evidence of their effectiveness. The presentation is from the January 2020 IHE Connectathon in Cleveland, Oho.
Virtual health is supporting continuing efforts to further humanize health care by extending and expanding the concept of a patient-centric care delivery model into one that is truly life-centric.
Virtual health uses telecommunication and networked technologies to connect clinicians with patients (and with other clinicians) to remotely deliver health care services and support well-being. For providers, committing to virtual health at a personal and organizational level affords ever-increasing opportunities to deliver the right care at the right time in the right place, in a connected and coordinated manner.
By strengthening and facilitating a therapeutic alliance between clinicians and patients, virtual health is an important step on our continuous journey to humanize health care. It works within and around a patient’s life, as opposed to their sickness, to deliver care when, where, and how they need and want it. Also, virtual health works its way into consumers’ daily routines by being embedded in electronic devices associated with living life (e.g., smartphones and personal computers) more so than caring for sickness.
The healthcare industry is primed for expanded adoption of virtual health; a 2016 report estimated that the US virtual health market will reach $3.5 billion in revenues by 2022. Several factors are elevating stakeholder interest, including expected physician shortages, continued growth in digital technologies, changing reimbursement models, increasing consumer demand, and the evolving regulatory landscape. One game-changer: Today, nine in 10 American adults use the internet, giving clinicians the capability and flexibility to communicate with and serve health care consumers via the web.

The Learning Health System: Thinking and Acting Across ScalesPhilip Payne
A Learning Health System (LHS) can be defined as an environment in which knowledge generation processes are embedded into daily clinical practice in order to continually improve the quality, safety, and outcomes of healthcare delivery. While still largely an aspirational goal, the promise of the LHS is a future in which every patient encounter is an opportunity to learn and improve that patient’s care, as well as the care their family and broader community receives. The foundation for building such an LHS can and should be the Electronic Health Record (EHR), which provides the basis for the comprehensive instrumentation and measurement of clinical phenotypes, as well as a means of delivering new evidence at the patient- and population levels. In this presentation, we will explore the ways in which such EHR-derived phenotypes can be combined with complementary data across a spectrum from biomolecules to population level trends, to both generate insights and deliver such knowledge in the right time, place, and format, ultimately improving clinical outcomes and value.
FTC Spring Privacy Series: Consumer Generated and Controlled Health DataBrian Ahier
Increasingly, consumers are taking a more active role in managing and generating their own health data. For example, consumers are researching their health conditions and diagnosing themselves online. Consumers are also uploading their information into personal health records and apps that allow them to manage and analyze their data, and utilizing connected health and fitness devices that regularly collect information about them and transmit this information to other entities.
The movement of health data outside the traditional medical provider context has many potential benefits; however, it also raises potential privacy concerns. The seminar will address questions such as:
What types of websites, products, and services are consumers using to generate and control their health data, and how are consumers using them?
Who are the companies behind these websites, products, and services, what are their business models, and what does the current marketplace look like?
How can consumers benefit from these companies’ websites, products, and services?
What actions are these companies taking to protect consumers’ privacy and security?
What do consumers expect from these companies regarding privacy and security protections?
Do consumers differentiate between these companies and those that offer traditional medical products and services that are covered by HIPAA?
What restrictions, if any, do advertising networks and others impose on tracking of health data?

Sri Lanka is well known for its better health indices when compared with other countries in South Asia. However, the burdens of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) have increased rapidly during last two decades. NCDs such as neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and chronic respiratory pathologies recorded were 10.2, 41.7, 13.3 (related deaths per 100,000 population) respectively during the year 1990. However by 2009, the same NCDs recorded 18.5, 60.6, and 21.9 (related deaths per 100,000 populations) respectively according to the Annual Health Bullatin released by the Medical Statistics Unit - Ministry of Healthcare & Nutrition [1]. Most communicable diseases have been controlled successfully (e.g. Malaria, Polio) several infective diseases, such as, Tuberculosis and Leprosy has been re-emerged due to various reasons. Dengue is also still remains a major crisis in Sri Lankan health sector.
Health Information Systems have been shown an integral role in health systems in facing double burden of disease, specially quantifying the cost of care. Also, Health Information Systems are one of WHO's 6 building blocks for health system strengthening. This work investigates the Sri Lankan scenario empirically based on selected electronic health information systems to evaluate the effect of reducing uncertainty and promoting coordination in the clinical care pathway.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Telemedicine & Remote Patient Monitoring Considerations
Providing telemedicine comes with a variety of benefits that can save you and your organization both time and money. The average savings for a
single employee is around $300, according to the American Medical Association (AMA).
Eliminate costly in-person evaluations to monitor participants’ vital signs by remotely collecting validated digital health data. Review data more
quickly and frequently to verify whether participants are responding positively or negatively to the drug.
Monitoring programs can also help keep people healthy, allow older and disabled individuals to live at home longer and avoid having to move
into skilled nursing facilities. RPM can also serve to reduce the number of hospitalizations, readmissions, and lengths of stay in hospitals—all of
which help improve quality of life and contain costs.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Wearable technology has proven ROI for healthcare and has many benefits for patients, but needs proper
infrastructure to support it in a secure environment.
Overcoming Issues
5. • Create and administer wearable users and
devices
• Organize devices and users by team or
customer
• Send system-wide messages and notifications
• Establish policies to facilitate management of
software applications
Key Features
• Device Connectivity & Data Delivery
• Customizable Rules Engine & Alerts
• On-boarding & Support Tools
• Monitoring Dashboard
• Administrator Dashboard
• Device Management Tools
6. ● SIMPLICITY - Standardization of data: Different manufacturers utilize their own nomenclature for data points, such as steps, strides, paces, etc.
We standardize all of these into a single data point (in this case, steps) so that as we add devices, the data points will remain the same on your
end. In addition, we manage the overall relationship for you including setting up accounts, changes to APIs, and support.
● AUTOMATED ACTIONABLE DATA - Rules engine: Our rules engine allows you to define thresholds for min/max readings, deviations from the
moving average, and frequency of readings. These triggers may be mapped to push, SMS, or email alerts on your end to remind a patient to
submit a reading, alert clinicians of changes in condition, and many others. I have many strategies I am happy to discuss for tracking everything
from diabetes and heart conditions to behavioral health and overall wellness.
● FLEXIBILITY - Over 350 devices (and counting): This will drive your BYOD approach and drastically reduce your efforts for adding new devices
in the future since we will do it for you.

23. Greater access to practitioners: By empowering them to connect digitally with their healthcare professionals,
patients can overcome one of the biggest challenges they face—access to care. Whether you’re located an hour
from the nearest doctor or you simply struggle with wait times in a crowded hospital setting, RPM systems
alleviate the dilemma. RPM solutions empower patients to look for doctors in any location, leaving them
unencumbered by the limitations of regional facilities.
Reduce logistical limitations: Just getting to a doctor’s office can be a difficult process. Taking time off work, or
taking your children out of school, can be all but impossible. Then add on the cost of transportation, lab tests and
other travel considerations. For those with medical conditions that limit ambulation, this can be even more
challenging. Leveraging an RPM system will allow patients to get the care they need from the comfort of their own
home, reducing costs and other logistical limitations.
Early detection for improved outcomes: Time is of the essence when it comes to patient outcomes. Remote
patient monitoring can improve patient outcomes by allowing for continued monitoring that augments
practitioners’ ability to preempt serious issues. This can be useful for diagnoses, as well as making alterations
throughout the course of treatment. This can be especially useful for patients making medication changes, as they’ll
be able to report any side effects and adjust quickly if need be.
Early detection in this instance can also refer to connected medical devices. If these devices start to act up, early
detection capability is once more indispensable.
Enhanced autonomy: Remote patient monitoring allows individuals to take greater control over their own
course of treatment. From alerts to remain compliant with prescriptions, to the ability to educate and inform
themselves with the data in their RPM system, patients that can stay engaged and active in their own care will have
a chance to maximize the results of their program.
The Benefits of Remote Patient Monitoring
