A larger definition (wikipedia)
• Electronic health records: enabling the communication of patient data between healthcare professionals (interoperability, health cards, …)
• Telemedicine: physical and psychological treatments at a distance
• Consumer health informatics: use of electronic resources on medical topics by healthy individuals or patients
• Health knowledge management: medical journals, best practice guidelines or epidemiological tracking (LinkedLifeData)
• Virtual healthcare teams: consisting of healthcare professionals who collaborate and share information on patients through digital equipment
• mHealth or m-Health: includes the use of mobile devices
• Medical research using Grids: powerful computing and data management capabilities to handle large amounts of heterogeneous data
• Healthcare Information Systems: often refer to software for appointment scheduling, patient data management, work schedule management and other administrative tasks surrounding health.

… et en Suisse
• http://www.e-health-suisse.ch/
• Web page is always updated with last initiatives
• Much work has been going on for several years
• June 2007: eHealth strategy for Switzerland was
decided • Core groups on specific topics
• Larger groups involving all interested stakeholders
• There are now:
• Technical and semantic standards
• An organizational vision and definition of processes
• Ideas for a legal framework
• Ideas of certification and accreditation

A legal framework
• An eHealth law is under preparation
• Future law on the electronic patient record
(EPDG-LDEP), in the parliament in 2013
• Collaboration between the confederation and the
cantons (a long/slow process)
• Companies need to follow the standards
• Otherwise there will be no access to the markets
• Medical software is a medical device
• Security needs to be assured, certification

Pilot tests in the cantons
• e-Toile in Geneva
• More information at http://www.e-toile-ge.ch
• Data accessible in decentralized form,
confidentiality and security are regarded as
extremely important
• Patient can decide on access with a physician
• Data access only with patient and professional
card

• Medical image analysis and retrieval
• Analysis of big data
• Clinical decision support
• On temporal data using intelligent agents
• Combining multimodal data of various sources
• Using signal and image data with other sources

Motivation for image management
• “An image is worth a thousand words”
• Medical imaging is estimated to occupy 30% of world storage capacity in 2010!
• Mammography data in the US in 2009 amounts to 2.5 Petabytes

Big data challenges and opportunities
• Signal data in the images needs to be mapped to semantic information
• Reduce amount of data to keep accessible
• Get information for decision support
• Information of interest can be extremely small
• Simple and efficient tools are required
• And these might work better on big data
• Many rare diseases could be analyzed
• These are difficult as people do not know them,
they are missed and incorrectly treated 14
