Optimized continuous homecare provisioning through distributed data-driven semantic services and cross-organizational workflows.
Article in Journal of biomedical semantics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn healthcare, an increasing collaboration can be noticed between different caregivers, especially considering the shift to homecare. To provide optimal patient care, efficient coordination of data and workflows between these different stakeholders is required. To achieve this, data should be exposed in a machine-interpretable, reusable manner. In addition, there is a need for smart, dynamic, personalized and performant services provided on top of this data. Flexible workflows should be defined that realize their desired functionality, adhere to use case specific quality constraints and improve coordination across stakeholders. User interfaces should allow configuring all of this in an easy, user-friendly way.
methodsA distributed, generic, cascading reasoning reference architecture can solve the presented challenges. It can be instantiated with existing tools built upon Semantic Web technologies that provide data-driven semantic services and constructing cross-organizational workflows. These tools include RMLStreamer to generate Linked Data, DIVIDE to adaptively manage contextually relevant local queries, Streaming MASSIF to deploy reusable services, AMADEUS to compose semantic workflows, and RMLEditor and Matey to configure rules to generate Linked Data.
resultsA use case demonstrator is built on a scenario that focuses on personalized smart monitoring and cross-organizational treatment planning. The performance and usability of the demonstrator's implementation is evaluated. The former shows that the monitoring pipeline efficiently processes a stream of 14 observations per second: RMLStreamer maps JSON observations to RDF in 13.5 ms, a C-SPARQL query to generate fever alarms is executed on a window of 5 s in 26.4 ms, and Streaming MASSIF generates a smart notification for fever alarms based on severity and urgency in 1539.5 ms. DIVIDE derives the C-SPARQL queries in 7249.5 ms, while AMADEUS constructs a colon cancer treatment plan and performs conflict detection with it in 190.8 ms and 1335.7 ms, respectively.
conclusionsExisting tools built upon Semantic Web technologies can be leveraged to optimize continuous care provisioning. The evaluation of the building blocks on a realistic homecare monitoring use case demonstrates their applicability, usability and good performance. Further extending the available user interfaces for some tools is required to increase their adoption.
