iCare: Intelligent Medical Information Logistics

The diversity and quantity of medical information emerging
from patient treatment makes it a challenging task for medical staff to identify and handle the information they need to perform their tasks in the best possible way. The doctor's ward round, for example, is a knowledge-intensive process comprising complex information-centric tasks such as patient examination and diagnosis. Goal is to provide medical staff with relevant information dependent on their work context. This paper picks up this challenge and presents iCare, a semantic application enabling an intelligent integration, analysis, and delivery of personalized medical information.
