Current tools for self-management of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases (CORD) are difficult to use, notindividualized and requiring laborious analysis by health professionals, discouraging their use in healthcare. There is anopportunity for
Due to a variety of factors, among others medical and legislative requirements, the quality requirements on medicalsoftware become increasingly demanding. Several quality standards and guidelines are already in place, e.g., ISO/IECs9126, 14598 and
The International Patient Summary (IPS) comprises the essential clinical data that must be available in case an Europeancitizen needs unscheduled or urgent health care while abroad. The implementation of cross- border exchange of IPS isamong the
By a case study approach, the paper analyzes a project and information ecosystem of the Clinical Research environmentwithin a Medical School at a University. There are two types of data sources, a medical information system based on atransactional
This article presents the results of quality analysis of data on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) for groups of drugs, which aremost frequently discussed by users of Internet resources.Several Russian-language resources were used as data sources. An

The article discusses the possibilities of solving NER (Named Entity Recognition) problem for medical texts in Arabic with limited availability of labeled datasets, as well as computational and specialized linguistic resources. To overcome them, it is proposed to use recurrent neural networks. In our experiments, we used "BERT-Base, Multilingual Cased" from Google and Pooled-GRU with Multi-lingual Universal Sentence Encoder (MUSE) from Facebook. Each network was fine-tuned with our dataset. The used dataset was obtained from three medical volumes issued by Arabic Encyclopedia. We experimentally evaluated the effectiveness of tuned models on real NLP (Natural Language Processing) task - medical entities recognition from the Arabic Medical Encyclopedia and obtained encouraging results.

This paper analyses a regional solution to digital transformation of health care services in Norway during the period 2014 to 2020. Facing the national health authorities' requirements for implementing welfare technology in public health care services, this rural region with its many small and medium-sized municipalities developed a unique framework for supporting this task across the small units. First, collaboration between organizations representing a wide set of competences, roles, and positions in the region and locally; second, a regional center responsible for developing health care services that – unlike other similar centers in Norway, took on a role to lead this work; and third, a regional emergency central originally developed for fire services taking on the role as the technical expert in the region. The analysis is based on documentation, project reports and interviews with participants from the project. While national guidelines for implementation of welfare technology have been important for motivating this work, many challenges were left for municipalities to solve, in particular the question pursued here: how should local and regional traditions be transformed to integrate technology in a sector and among professional groups that traditionally have not been associated with technology? The findings show that the regional model for collaboration supported the municipalities' health care services in this task by building on a regional model for cross-sectoral collaboration as well as regional trusted networks and channels of communication in unique ways in a national context.
