Enhanced Real-Time Maintenance Management Model - A Step toward Industry 4.0 th...
Mendes, David; Gaspar, Pedro Dinis; Charrua-Santos, Fernando; Navas, Helena V. G.Conveyor belts (CBs) are widely used for the continuous transport of bulk materials. CBs must be extremely reliable due to the cost associated with their failure in continuous production systems. Thus, it is highly relevant in terms of maintenance and planning to find solutions to reduce the existing stoppages from these assets. In this sense, it is essential to monitor and collect real-time data from this piec...
Integrating TPM and Industry 4.0 to Increase the Availability of Industrial Ass...
Mendes, David; Gaspar, Pedro Dinis; Charrua-Santos, Fernando; Navas, HelenaAs the global market becomes increasingly competitive and demanding, companies face the challenge of responding swiftly and efficiently to customer needs. To maintain a competitive advantage, organisations must optimise the usage of their assets. This study focuses on the critical role of maintenance management and presents a novel, cost-effective, and easily applicable model that integrates Industry 4.0 (I4.0)...
Resilient Software Architecture Platform for the Individual Care Plan
Mendes, David; Lopes, Manuel José; García-Alonso, José Manuel; Santos, Jorge M Azevedo; Sousa, Luís Manuel MotaThe individual care plan (ICP) is a metamorphic being. The only steady reality that it maintains is its final objective, stated and explained in the previous chapter where the ICP is thoroughly introduced and debated. It is a fantastic beast, better described as a system of systems that is severely polymorphic due to its coverage both in level of care as well as sources of data to handle. Patient monitoring gen...
STUDY OF TROPOPAUSE DYNAMICS OVER NATAL-RN FROM RADIOSONDE DATA OF METEOROLOGIC...
Silva Júnior, José Pedro; Silva, Régia Pereira; Cazuza, Elio Pessoa; Tenório, Ricardo Bruno de Araújo; Borba, Gilvan Luiz; Mendes, DavidThe terrestrial equatorial tropopause is generally analyzed as a region of modest temperature variations and defined only as an interface between the troposphere and the stratosphere. However, recent works has suggested that the tropopause may be a source of disturbances capable of locally affecting the tropospheric climate. In this context, the present work describes a detailed investigation of the characteris...
Making the Invisible Visible: Intelligent Recovery Monitoring of Aortic Arch Re...
Dios, Mercedes; Mendes, David; Gomez-Cantarino, Sagrario; Sim-Sim, MargaridaThoracic pain is a very frequent reason for consultation in the primary care nursing consultation. However, when the healthcare professional is facing a patient with intense and tearing pain in the chest that induces him to think that he is facing a possible aortic dissection, then it is in an emergency where the patient requires immediate attention and a referral without loss of time to a cardiac surgery unit....
Automatic learning for improvement in joint mobility in the elderly
Romero-Valencia, Sara; Gomez-Cantarino, Sagrario; Sim-Sim, Margarida; Espina, Blanca; Mendes, DavidIn Europe, the elderly are the majority group, an issue that implies specific attention. On many occasions, they need to be taken care of by other people. It is essential to talk about the gait, this plays an important role and it is necessary to maintain a joint width of movement adequate in the hip, knee and ankle so that the standing and walking are functional. Among the physical factors that limit mobility ...
Deep Learning and IoT to Assist Multimorbidity Home Based Healthcare
Mendes, David; Lopes, Manuel; Parreira, Pedro; Fonseca, CésarThe authors present a proposal to develop intelligent assisted living environments for home based healthcare in the presence of multimorbidity chronic patients. These environments unite the chronicle patient clinical history sematic representation ICP (Individual Care Process) with the ability of monitoring the living conditions using IoT technologies and events recurring to a fully managed Semantic Web of Thin...
Extended Clinical Discourse Representation Structure for Controlled Natural Lan...
Mendes, David; Pimenta Rodrigues, Irene; Baeta, Carlos; Solano-Rodriguez, CarlosTo support an end to end Question and Answering system to help the clinical practitioners in a cardiovascular healthcare environment, an extended discourse representation structure CIDERS is introduced. This extension of the well-known DRT (Discourse Representation Theory) structures, go beyond single text representation extending them to embrace the general clinical history of a given patient. Introduced is a ...
Clinical Practice Ontology Automatic Learning from SOAP Reports
Mendes, David; Pimenta Rodrigues, Irene; Baeta, CarlosWe show how we implemented an end-to-end process to automatically develop a clinical practice knowledge base acquiring from SOAP notes. With our contribution we intend to overcome the “Knowledge Acquisition Bottleneck” problem by jump-starting the knowledge gathering from the most widely available source of clinical information that are natural language reports. We present the different phases of our process to...
Healthcare Computer Reasoning Addressing Chronically Ill Societies Using IoT: D...
Mendes, David; Lopes, M. J.; Romão, Artur; Rodrigues, Irene PimentaThe authors present a proposal to develop intelligent assisted living environments for home based healthcare. These environments unite the chronical patient clinical history sematic representation with the ability of monitoring the living conditions and events recurring to a fully managed Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). Several levels of acquired knowledge and the case based reasoning that is possible by knowled...
