In clinical decision-making, data are fundamental elements for extracting knowledge for knowledge-based systems. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) need to ensure that stored data are semantically interoperable to, in turn, represent clinical knowledge and improve the quality of healthcare delivery. The openEHR standard provides a set of specifications that allow health information systems to manage elect...
Low-code is an approach to programming that seeks to enable the creation of artefacts by both programmers and non-programmers. It enables the rapid creation and delivery of applications with minimal effort to write in a programming language as well as for installation and configuration of environments, training and deployment. This allows the development to follow the needs of a company in a faster and more eff...
Background: Corneal transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a widely performed surgical procedure that aims to restore vision in patients with corneal damage.
