- Proposal of an ontology for Mental Health Management in BrazilPublication . Yamada, Diego Bettiol; Yoshiura, Vinicius Tohoru; Miyoshi, Newton Shydeo Brandão; Lima, Inácia Bezerra de; Shinoda, Gustavo Yukiu Usumoto; Rijo, Rui, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Marques, João Mazzoncini de Azevedo; Cruz-Cunha, Maria Manuela; Alves, DomingosMental illness represent a large part of public health problems worldwide. Additionally, mental health managers need to make decisions based on complex data from dispersed sources with low levels of standardization and integration. This generally hinders knowledge extraction and its use as a reference to provide useful indicators and reports for efficient decision making. In this context, the interoperability between Information Systems is an essential characteristic to establish the capacity of communication, exchange and reuse of information for the generation of knowledge. In order to reduce the data complexity and to assist in the data interpretation, Semantic Web technology can be used. It classifies the stored information with metadata and give them meaning and thematic through the use of ontologies. Therefore, given the importance of mental health and the need for quality data, this article aims to specify and develop an ontology capable of consuming, integrating, analyzing and making available data of a regional mental healthcare network.
- Satisfaction evaluation of health professionals in the usability of software for monitoring the tuberculosis treatmentPublication . Crepaldi, Nathalia Yukie; Lima, Inácia Bezerra de; Vicentine, Fernanda Bergamini; Rodrigues, Lídia Maria Lourençon; Yamaguti, Verena Hokino; Sanches, Tiago Lara Michelin; Ruffino-Netto, Antonio; Alves, Domingos; Rijo, Rui Pedro Charters LopesThe evaluation of health software from the point of view of the health professionals is critical for its success. The work aims to present one of the steps, in this case the usability evaluation, of a more comprehensive protocol of how health software can be evaluated. A software for monitoring tuberculosis treatment (SISTB) was used to test the proposed protocol. The Computer System Usability Questionnaire was the instrument chosen to evaluate software usability. Its adaptation to Portuguese (from Brazil) was performed through three pretests, which obtained high internal consistency, using the Cronbach alpha reliability analysis. SISTB was deployed in three of four referral outpatient clinics for tuberculosis, in the city of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. After three months, health professionals answered the questionnaire. All outpatients presented satisfactory results for usability, showing that the satisfaction degree with software is good and that three months are sufficient for adaptation in relation to the SISTB use. Despite the good acceptance, some suggestions have been proposed, showing that software should be in constant development to facilitate the service of those who use it.
- Towards a health observatory conceptual model based on the semantic webPublication . Yoshiura, Vinicius Tohoru; Yamada, Diego Bettiol; Pellison, Felipe Carvalho; Lima, Inácia Bezerra de; Damian, Ieda Pelogia Martins; Rijo, Rui, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Marques, João Mazzoncini de Azevedo; Alves, DomingosIntroduction. Health Observatories have gained global popularity and have been established worldwide since the 1970s. With the advent of the Semantic Web, machines can process, reuse, integrate and understand the meaning (semantics) of the information and knowledge on the World Wide Web to perform complex tasks. Objective. To propose a health observatory conceptual model based on Semantic Web in order to assist in the design, development and implementation processes of a Health Observatory. Methods. The proposed model was based on a conceptual analysis that include Semantic Web technologies narrative review, multi-layer software architecture and an integrative review of Health Observatories. Results. The proposed Health Observatory conceptual model consists of a chain of several related components based on information technology multi-layer architecture, Semantic Web technologies, Health Observatories stakeholders and key concepts. Conclusion. The proposed model can provide opportunities for the development and implementation of new observatories or for the adequacy of existing Health Observatories.
