Autonomous Agent and Gateway to Support Ambulatory Medical Practices

Topic for this project is the development of a fully autonomous agent and gateway system as building block for a fully distributed decision support system for ambulatory medical practices.

Background
In most countries all over the world, medical care is provided by a combination of hospitals or hospital-like facilities, and individual, self-contained (ambulatory) medical practices. While hospitals, due to their centralized structure, can take advantage of electronic health records to coordinate treatments and minimize the risk of conflicting treatments for the patients, the risk of treatment conflicts in ambulatory medical practices is by several orders of magnitude higher than in hospitals due to the lack of information exchange.

The Project
I designed a fully distributed information system which can discover which medical offices a particular patient had visited in the past within a specified time frame. This discovery is fully anonymous and relies on the presence of the coordinating software agent in a large number (ideally all) medical offices. To reach this goal, the agent / gateway system must be totally self-contained, autonomous and low cost. The computer system hosting this agent / gateway must be separate from the electronic health record system of the medical practice (for privacy reasons), must have fast network access capability, and must have suitable interfaces and processing power to drive its own specialized database. To ensure high reliability, the system must have low enough power consumption to run for extended hours on backup-battery power.

The Role of the OrangePi
I have searched for a microcomputer to fit the system requirements and feel that the OrangePi Plus is the best fit. The concept had been presented at several conferences and received positive feedback. However the original Linux-based prototype is unsuitable for mass-deployment due to cost, maintenance burden and lack of security. Receiving an OrangePi Plus would be a great help to create and test a deployable unit as seed for a first field trial. Instead of Linux, the OrangePi Plus unit will use the high secure seL4 microkernel.

The communication technology for this project has a much broader use than just in the described medical application. It creates ad-hoc self-organizing networks without being tied to a specific networking technology. Or in other words, it creates a private, situation-specific networks on top of a general-purpose carrier, like wired or wireless networks.

Other usages are for example crowd-sourcing applications, where contributing nodes join and leave at any time; or the dynamic creation of temporary "social" network groups, or much more.

Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it. login topcer88

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox now whenever a comment is added I receive four emails sticking with the same comment. Possibly there is any way you can get rid of me from that service? Thanks! film izle
