The federated healthcare record to support shared diabetes care.

In this paper the conception of the federated healthcare record server to support shared diabetes care is described. Business process modelling is applied to describe the shared care for diabetes patients. Typical dialogues between the different users (patient, internist, GPs, and diabetic nurses) are analysed and described in terms of use cases. Next to this modelling three incremental steps are defined to realise the record server based upon results of standardisation. It proves to be successful to design and build this record server on modern technologies like CORBA and JAVA.

Supporting shared care for diabetes patients. The synapses solution.

In this paper we discuss the construction of a Federated Health Care Record server within the context of the European R&D project Synapses. We describe the system using the five ODP viewpoints. From an analysis of the business process to be supported by the distributed system (the shared care for diabetes patients) requirements for the server are derived.

The effect of inhalation flow on the performance of a dry powder inhalation system.

Dry powder inhalation systems are composed of a small amount of active ingredients and a larger amount of filler. The drug particles are believed to be bound by the filler crystals. The complexes are too large to be inhaled and need to be separated before they enter the lungs. This is done by the air patients inhale through the inhaler. Asthmatics can show low inhalation flows and the performance of a dry powder inhaler at low flows was investigated. It was shown, that small particles (less than 5 microns) separate swiftly at low flows and larger particles (greater than 5 microns) will need higher flows. The conclusion is that dry powder inhalation preparation do not show a simple separation pattern.
