LAB Presentation - Printable Version
Mission
Serving the Patients by Serving Doctors and Institutions through Information and Communication Methods and Technologies has been the routing guide towards the overall academic activity of the e-Health Lab since the late 80s. The pathway went across the several radical changes occurred over the last decades within Information & Communication Technologies and Healthcare. The e-Health Lab is active in the scenario of the Department of Bioengineering that, founded about 25 years ago, is still the only Italian University department entirely focused on Bioengineering.
Research
- Mobile technologies for Personalized Health Informatics,
these are the main ongoing research areas active at the e-Health Lab. ICT skills and knowledge available allow an approach including: environment analysis, process definition, process modeling, product design, and prototype development. Researches are developed in multidisciplinary teams: computer and communication engineers, clinicians of different fields, psychologists, and experts of economics and marketing. The e-Health Lab serves as scientific advisor on e-Health standard implementation for ICT service public providers.
Among
recent achievement, the “Historia Medica Familiae Digitalis” system for the
management of health-related documents in the multigenerational family
environment, developed to be a leaf of a Regionalized Healthcare Information
System [1]; the “Lexicon camera” basic tool for the definition of the family
medical lexicon [2]; a series of ontologies for the “Ages of life”, namely the
“Ontology for Geriatrics”, “Ontology for Pediatrics”, “Ontology for the
Newborns”, and “Ontology for the First Aid Emergency”, representing the case of
the middle age [3]. Apps for homecare and wellness will be tested soon.
Education
The e-Health Lab manages the Healthcare-ICT (HICT) tracks in the engineering curricula -bachelor, master, and PhD- at the Politecnico di Milano technical University."Learning-by-doing" is the policy grounding the delivery of all the teaching activities.
Major products of the long lasting teaching experience are the two textbooks, one on basics and one on applications of e-Health. Published to answer a wide need of engineering education, they are still unique in conjugating user-oriented expectations and developer skills and opportunities
Collaborations
and Dissemination
-
The Italian Ministry of Health,
-
the Italian Ministry of Public Administration and Innovation,
-
from five Regional Governments,
and many
clinical and technological scientific societies in the field of Medicine and
e-Health
are
among the institutions having supported, with their patronage, the e-Health Lab
in its recent activities.
The e-Health
Lab has been organizing university workshops, conferences, and seminars on hot
topics in e-Health every six months. They became a recognized opportunity of
cooperative evaluation of recent efforts to reach a consensus vision between the
ICT manufacturers and the healthcare governance.
The
activity of the Lab promoted the generation of a number of cousin initiatives
within the Politecnico: from the ICT in Healthcare Observatory, to the efforts
of the Bio-Search Computing project, and more.
