Paper Abstract:
|
Nowadays, technological improvement has been a motivation to develop new healthcare programs and approaches to better assist chronic patients. E-Health monitoring refers to a continuous observation of patients condition (physiological and physical) traditionally performed by one or several body sensors. Data coming from such sensors are then transferred to a server, then monitored, processed and accessed by medical experts. In this kind of applications, very important actions and decisions are based on sensed data (as remote diagnosis, consultations, emergency intervention, hospitalization, etc.) and thus a high level quality of data is essential to manage healthcare effectively. Data quality in this domain is an important issue that has to be addressed. Data Quality, being important part of information management, helps to ensure the correct processing of collected data as well as the appropriate interpretation and intervention of medical services. In this paper we explore the issues that define data quality in e-health applications. |
