Medical protocols for taking decisions, in an ubiquitous computation context
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ubiquitous computation refers to the creation of environments with high processing and communication capacities in which the computers practically go unnoticed by the users. A context in which this vision of the future opens different lines of research is the field of health. The goal of this paper is to present a proposal for ubiquitous computation in a hospital context for the application of medical protocols that help with the taking of decisions. As a case study we use a protocol of action for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the infections caused by central catheters.

متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Distance Measures for Multivariate Time Series Clustering
Multivariate time series (MTS) data are ubiquitous in science and daily life, and how to measure their similarity is a core part of MTS analyzing process. Many of the research efforts in this context have focused on proposing novel similarity measures for the underlying data. However, with the countless techniques to estimate similarity between MTS, this field suffers from a lack of comparative...
متن کاملEmotion and decision-making under uncertainty: Physiological arousal predicts increased gambling during ambiguity but not risk.
Uncertainty, which is ubiquitous in decision-making, can be fractionated into known probabilities (risk) and unknown probabilities (ambiguity). Although research has illustrated that individuals more often avoid decisions associated with ambiguity compared to risk, it remains unclear why ambiguity is perceived as more aversive. Here we examine the role of arousal in shaping the representation o...
