“…On the contrary, webpages that provide information regarding HMP seem to present them in a more simplified way. Adopting this challenge, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have allowed the generation of a variety of tools and applications for personal health data management that are able to provide personalized feedback and recommendation, through easily accessible and automated services, for the patient or informal caregiver [42,65]. Typical examples of such tools and applications are the development of services that allow end-users to manage and update their personal health data [38,40,66].…”

PharmActa: Empowering Patients to Avoid Clinical Significant Drug–Herb Interactions

et al. 2019

Herbal medicinal products (HMPs) are the subject of increasing interest regarding their benefits for health. However, a serious concern is the potential appearance of clinically significant drug–herb interactions in patients. This work provides an overview of drug–herb interactions and an evaluation of their clinical significance. We discuss how personalized health services and mobile health applications can utilize tools that provide essential information to patients to avoid drug–HMP interactions. There is a specific mention to PharmActa, a dedicated mobile app for personalized pharmaceutical care with information regarding drug–HMPs interactions. Several studies over the years have shown that for some HMPs, the potential to present clinically significant interactions is evident, especially for many of the top selling HMPs. Towards that, PharmActa presents how we can improve the way that information regarding potential drug–herb interactions can be disseminated to the public. The utilization of technologies focusing on medical information and context awareness introduce a new era in healthcare. The exploitation of eHealth tools and pervasive mobile monitoring technologies in the case of HMPs will allow the citizens to be informed and avoid potential drug–HMPs interactions enhancing the effectiveness and ensuring safety for HMPs.

“… Practitioner's knowledge: implicit knowledge regarding the practices of medical staff while providing care to patients, and the practitioner acquires knowledge through continuous learning, observations, and experiences [46].  Medical knowledge: the basis of knowledge through which theories about medicine and health care, methods of presentation and processes are described (Chronaki et al, 2003).  Knowledge of resources: an estimate of the resources provided and the infrastructure available in the field of health care.…”

The main objective of this article is to investigate the role of using new technologies in the security and confidentiality of vast amounts of health care big data. After performing this survey and reviewing numerous studies based on the analytical descriptive methodology that is based on the evaluation of several scientific articles from 2011 to 2022, the study reaches to several outcomes, the most significant of which are: The ability of these technologies to predict the behavior of beneficiaries of patients and doctors, reduce the risks they face, keep data confidential and ensure that it is preserved. Many health institutions are unable to familiarize themselves with and use all their data. Finally concluded, it was proved that emerging technologies have changed the practice of healthcare and transformed the entire nature of the relationship between disease and health.

“…Figure 1 shows a proposed “maturity” model for interoperability in eHealth ( 4 ). The model consists of five levels that, incrementally, describe a more mature version of an interoperable infrastructure, starting from Level 1 for non-connected eHealth applications; Level 2 where a single eHealth application is directly linked to another application for simple data exchange ( 5 ); Level 3 for distributed systems that agree on protocols used, data formats, message exchange patterns ( 6 ), etc. ; Level 4, where eHealth applications from different suppliers that serve a common goal are linked but the applications do not need to have common objectives ( 7 ); and finally, at the “universal” Level 5, where diverse eHealth applications connect to an open, interoperable infrastructure possibly spanning multiple countries ( 8 , 9 ).…”

This work aims to provide information, guidelines, established practices and standards, and an extensive evaluation on new and promising technologies for the implementation of a secure information sharing platform for health-related data. We focus strictly on the technical aspects and specifically on the sharing of health information, studying innovative techniques for secure information sharing within the health-care domain, and we describe our solution and evaluate the use of blockchain methodologically for integrating within our implementation. To do so, we analyze health information sharing within the concept of the PANACEA project that facilitates the design, implementation, and deployment of a relevant platform. The research presented in this paper provides evidence and argumentation toward advanced and novel implementation strategies for a state-of-the-art information sharing environment; a description of high-level requirements for the transfer of data between different health-care organizations or cross-border; technologies to support the secure interconnectivity and trust between information technology (IT) systems participating in a sharing-data “community”; standards, guidelines, and interoperability specifications for implementing a common understanding and integration in the sharing of clinical information; and the use of cloud computing and prospectively more advanced technologies such as blockchain. The technologies described and the possible implementation approaches are presented in the design of an innovative secure information sharing platform in the health-care domain.
