Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Aiming to improve quality in health care and diagnoses, the book discusses information processing and communication in medicine and presents a new approach. By object-oriented analysis, modelling and design the approach enables an evolutionary development according to the needs of the medical environment. Following this approach medical applications are realised using a heterogeneous distributed information management system. This system provides integration and communication of multimedia information for medical services. Concepts, architectures and techniques for realisation are introduced.
``...clear overview by Martin Ohly and the contribution on medical terminology in clinical applications by Dr. Paparoditis. The integrated hospital systems developed in the project and the telemedicine services are well described and there is an interesting (...) account of digital signal processing. ... I ended by feeling more positive about the underlying strengths of the work described and admiring the achievement of delivering such a huge and broad-ranging set of demonstrations in clinical practice. The book is an important record of a major contribution in the evolution of health informatics.' - David Ingram, UCL Medical School, London, UK.
