Applicazione della IA alle Linee Guida Mediche

Attivit?

The increasing computerization of clinical and healthcare areas may play a fundamental strategic role in the ongoing process of rationalization of Italian healthcare system, meant to grant a high standard of service with contained costs. In such a context one has to take into account also the increasing attention called upon the development of clinical guidelines.
Our group, in collaboration with Department of Computer Science of Universit? del Piemonte Orientale, has developed GLARE, a domain-independent prototypical system for the representation, acquisition and execution of clinical guidelines, which has been defined, starting from 1997, in a sequence of agreements with Azienda Ospedaliera San Giovanni Battista, Torino (one of the largest hospitals in Italy). GLARE has a physician-oriented representation language and uses advanced Artificial Intelligence techniques to support decision making (through the use of Decision Theory), semi-authomatic contextualization, representation and reasoning about temporal constraints, automatic verification (through model-checking techniques). The scientific quality and prominence of GLARE project in the international scientific research community are attested not only by the relevant number of prestigious scientific papers regarding the project, but also by several acknowledgements received for such work and by the fact that the GLARE project is part of Openclinical, a large international project for the development and dissemination of medical informatics, and in particular of computer-supported clinical guidelines.
GLARE technology has been successfully tested in different clinical domains (bladder cancer, reflux esophagitis and heart failure), at the Laboratorio di Informatica Clinica, Azienda Ospedaliera San Giovanni Battista, Torino, Italy.
We made use of collaborations of prof. Paolo Terenziani, Universit? del Piemonte Orientale, and experts of some prestigious international research centers, such as:

  • Prof. J. Fox, Cancer Research Center, London, UK;
  • Prof. S. Miksch, University of Vienna, Austria;
  • Prof. S. Tu, Stanford University, USA;
  • Prof. RN. Shiffman, Yale Center for Medical Informatics, USA;
  • Prof. Y. Shahar, Negev University, Israel;
  • Prof. A. Sattar, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia.
