Mapping results: an example



2376 local lab tests(Laboratorio Lamberti)

89% mappedVS

11% unmapped

It is strictly necessary a standardized mapping procedure/guidelines

The chance to look at what other labs have done is a key factor in mapping success



What we understood

Edition” Project

Where we left last time…



Governamental adoption of LOINC



LOINC is one of the standardized vocabulary

recommended for identifying single items

in clinical report documents

Mobile Health Monitoring Systems

Aims: This research activity aims at designing and

realizing an intelligent mobile system for clinical care and remote patient monitoring, in particular for heart monitoring of patients with chronic heart diseases.

Monitor parameters is not enough: Example:

a system monitors Heart rate and Heart rate variability; if (HR >= 120) alarm

If the person under monitoring is running?

Intelligent context awareness



Idea: Proposed approach aims at solving some m-Health

open issues about intrusiveness, technological limits, reliability, interoperability and security in order to guarantee : Non-intrusive data capture by using wearable

monitoring devices Intelligent data analysis for Medical aims or healthy

LifeStyle Pervasive data transfer and access (e.g. Electronic

Health Record) Interoperability between health services and devices Reliability in communications Security in terms of privacy and data Integrity




Results: A prototype system has been designed and

realized in order to: Guarantee an intelligent data analysis in terms of

reliability Assure a correct monitoring and warning system for

doctors and for patients reducing false positive alarms The prototype is for Android Tablets and Smartphones and

for PC Desktop Windows based. The proposed approach consists in:

Correlation of biomedical parameters with patient’s context-aware information: Biomedical information: HR, HRV, SpO2, Glycemia, Body

Temperature, Respiratory Rate, etc. Physical activity: Posture, Movements, etc.

Use of knowledge technologies to build proper applications e.g. Decision Support Systems




More biomedical sensors are integrated in our system, like: Zephyr BioHarness:

a physiological monitoring system. The subject wears a Smart Fabric chest strap or shirt which incorporates sensors to monitor heart ECG signals, and respiration rate. Attached to the strap is the BioHarness Module. This contains a temperature sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer for monitoring attitude (subject posture) and activity (acceleration).

Alive ECG Monitor:a small device aimed at monitoring the user's ECG. The ECG signal can be stored in an SD memory card placed on the device and/or transmitted via a Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone, PDA, or PC for real-time display, recording and analysis. It is a wearable system suitable for the screening, diagnosis and management of cardiac chronic diseases. It is also able to monitor movements and physical activities performed by the user by means of an embedded accelerometer sensor.




The system was tested on: Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Android 4.0.3

Samsung Galaxy “gio” Android 2.3

PC Desktop Windows XP




What LOINC can do for us:Terminology standard:

Communication with Electronic Health Record Systems (EHR) LOINC coding system is used to identify all monitored parameters

Definition of Rules (?m http://mH#heartRate ?hr), greaterThan(?hr,100) -> newInstance(?

abn, http://mH#abnormalCondition), (?abn http://mH#conditionType 'Tachycardia'^^xsd:string), (?abn http://mHealthOnto#dueTo ?m) ]

What we can do for LOINC Contribute to upgrade the

database with new codes related to parameters detected by wearable sensors

“Sagittal plane body position” : LOINC number 72282-7




Conclusions and future work



We would like to suggest to start thinking about the need of a «translation control». Could be challenging BUT it is LOINC content that goes all over

the worldLOINC is part of a third stage of the InFSE project (started

July 1st 2012)LOINC tutorialLOINC online helpdeskClinical LOINC, especially Tumor Registry class, to be used in

a recently approved project by Pharmacy Department of the University of Calabria

Thank you for your attention!
