Computational signal detection constitutes a key element of postmarketing drug monitoring and surveillance. Diverse data sources are considered within the 'search space' pharmacovigilance scientists, respective analysis methods employed, all with their qualities shortcomings, towards more timely accurate detection. Recent systematic comparative studies highlighted not only event-based data-source-based differential performance across but also complementarity. These findings reinforce...

Summary Objectives: Sensor networks constitute the backbone for construction of personalized monitoring systems. Up to now, several sensor have been proposed diverse pervasive healthcare applications, which are however characterized by a significant lack open architectures, resulting in closed, non-interoperable and difficult extend solutions. In this context, we propose an reconfigurable wireless network (WSN) health monitoring, with particular emphasis its easy extension additional sensors...

Summary Background: Errors related to medication seriously affect patient safety and the quality of healthcare. It has been widely argued that various types such errors may be prevented by introducing Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) at point care. Objectives: Although significant research conducted in field, still is a crucial issue, while few outcomes are mature enough considered for use actual clinical settings. In this paper, we present decision support framework targeting with...
