“…6N°1-2 016 L'utilisation des algorithmes en médecine est clairement démontréed epuis de nombreuses années diminuant le risque d'erreurs de prise en charge médicale et améliorant la pertinence et le contrôle des coûts [10,11]. Ce type d'outil algorithmique d'aide à la décision permettrait ainsi dans le cadre de cette maladie chronique d'améliorer la qualité de la prise en charge et notamment d'homogénéiser la prise en charge sur le territoire.…”

“…Medical instruments are used to screen for diseases, and in MVIs the algorithms play an important role in the process. 71 The algorithms used in MVIs refer to a step-by-step procedure for diagnosing and classifying a disease using a finite number of steps. The choice of the algorithm used depends on the type of diseases to be diagnosed, type of input parameters available for the process and the available resources for the computation.…”

Ambient Assisted Living has become a cost-effective option for coping with the rapid aging of society. Personalized health monitoring is an important aspect of Ambient Assisted Living, and it depends on the availability and use of appropriate medical devices. Medical virtual instruments provide a viable option for such devices. They refer to a hardware/software co-design of medical instruments that provides the dependability of hardware as well as the flexibility of software. In this paper, we discuss the concept of medical virtual instruments and their use as an effective option for Ambient Assisted Living. The discussion covers the enablers of this technology, the main challenges, and the hardware, software and connectivity options for such instruments.

The literature and the Internet provide different sources, in which medical community as well as patients can browse through medical algorithms. These algorithms are dispersed and use different formats of presentation. We present visualized diagnosis (ViDis), a web platform aimed to construction and sharing of graphical representations of medical algorithms in a single place and in a unified format. ViDis is accessible as a web application, which can run on an arbitrary platform with a modern web browser. The platform's user friendly interfaces allow the users with different backgrounds to construct, share, and browse through medical algorithms. Visualization of the algorithms can be created using a flowchart diagram notation that is commonly applied in the design of computer software and is very intuitive to use and understand. Algorithms can be viewed in two different formats, that is, in the format of flowchart diagrams or in the format of sequential steps that guide the user from the beginning to the end of a medical procedure in dependence on his or her decisions made in each step of the process. ViDis enables registered users to create, edit, and share visualized medical algorithms and guest users to view these visualizations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first platform for efficient sharing of medical algorithms with the community. We believe that ViDis provides an excellent platform for sharing medical knowledge and information among diagnosticians, clinicians, researchers, and patients.
