COOVADIS: A new framework for collaborative diagnosis approach of the vascular system

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new telediagnosis environment for the collaborative diagnosis of vascular system, which combines advantages of ontology design and semantic web. This environment, called COOVADIS (COllabOrative VAscular teleDIagnoSis), enables physicians collaborations to improve quality of the diagnosis reports. Thus, each specialist can share information, experience and expertize for clinical decision-making, for the patient benefit.
