Radial Visualization Model in Healthcare: A Survey

AHFE international (2022)

Rute Bastardo Mariana Castro Luís Filipe Da Silva Ramos João Pavão

One of the main focuses of research in healthcare involves the processing of large amounts of data accumulated in Electronic Health Records and their communication in an interactive, understandable, and adequate way to the needs of each user, either healthcare professionals, patients, or care givers. One way of conveying the information to all of them is in a graphical way. There are, traditionally, two types of graphic models for data presentation: Cartesian/linear mod- els and radial models. From literature one can observe that there is an increasing interest in radial models to analyze and present large amounts of data. In this paper an exploratory study is presented aiming to understand how radial visualization model evolved throughout history, as well as its importance and relevance in data visualization with a particular interest in clinical data. The methodology used is focused on case studies found in literature, collecting all the relevant references about the radial visualization model and conclude on their weaknesses and strengths.

A systematic review of the use of FHIR to support clinical research, public health and medical education

Data Technologies and Applications (2024)

João Pavão Rute Bastardo Nelson Pacheco Rocha

Purpose This systematic review aimed to identify and categorize applications using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) to support activities outside of direct healthcare provision. Design/methodology/approach A systematic electronic search was performed, and 53 studies were included after the selection process. Findings The results show that FHIR is being used to support (1) clinical research (i.e. clinical research based on interventional trials, data interoperability to support clinical research and advanced communication services to support clinical research), (2) public health and (3) medical education. Despite the FHIR potential to support activities outside of direct healthcare provision, some barriers were identified, namely difficulties translating the proposed applications to clinical environments or FHIR technical issues that require further developments. Originality/value This study provided a broad review of how FHIR is being applied in clinical activities outside of direct clinical care and identified three major domains, that is, clinical research, public health and medical education, being the first and most representative in terms of number of publications.

João Pavão Rute Bastardo Nelson Pacheco Rocha

The systematic review reported by this article aimed to analyze and synthesize state-of-the-art studies focused on the cyber resilience of healthcare information systems, namely in terms of (i) their purposes and (ii) methods being used to validate the proposed solutions. An electronic search was conducted, and 14 studies were included in this systematic review after the selection process. The research related to cyber resilience in the context of healthcare information systems is relatively recent and it is increasing, and according to the findings five different purposes were identified: (i) strategies to improve the cyber resilience of healthcare information systems; (ii) methods to design cyber resilient healthcare information systems; (iii) risk assessment; (iv) cyber resilience frameworks; and (v) development of cyber resilient healthcare information systems. Moreover, the solutions reported by the included articles present a low maturity level, which means that further research is required to increase the cyber resilience of healthcare information systems that constitute critical assets of the healthcare provision.

Smart Cities’ Applications to Facilitate the Mobility of Older Adults: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Applied Sciences (2021)

Nelson Pacheco Rocha Rute Bastardo João Pavão Gonçalo Santinha Mário Rodrigues

This study aimed to identify: (i) the relevant applications based on information technologies and requiring smart cities’ infrastructure to facilitate the mobility of older adults in URBAN SPACES; (ii) the type of data being used by the proposed applications; (iii) the maturity level of these applications; and (iv) the barriers TO their dissemination. An electronic search was conducted on Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases, combining relevant keywords. Then, titles and abstracts were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the full texts of the eligible articles were retrieved and screened for inclusion. A total of 28 articles were included. These articles report smart cities’ applications to facilitate the mobility of older adults using different types of sensing devices. The number of included articles is reduced when compared with the total number of articles related to smart cities, which means that the mobility of older adults it is still a not significant topic within the research on smart cities’. Although most of the included studies aimed the implementation of specific applications, these were still in an early stage of development, without the assessment of potential end-users. This is an important research gap since it makes difficult the creation of market-oriented solutions. Another research gap is the integration of knowledge generated by other research topics related to smart cities and smart mobility. Consequently, important issues (e.g., user privacy, data standardization and integration, Internet of Things implementation, and sensors’ characteristics) were poorly addressed by the included studies.

A timeline model for clinical events: empowering data

Procedia Computer Science (2022)

Rute Bastardo Mariana Castro João Pavão Luis Leonardo Taborda Ramos

Data visualization is key in the Big Data context, enabling different cognitive perspectives over large datasets. These visual perspectives can prompt relevant advantages with regard to healthcare records, because they may contribute to a faster, more understandable, and adequate way to capture patients' health history and overall condition, thus improving healthcare quality. Timelines are well-known visual artifacts that help healthcare professionals to visualize patients' electronic health records (EHR) over a time period. As data stored in EHR tend to quickly grow with each interaction between patient and healthcare system both number and size, traditional linear timelines are can increasingly become more difficult to manage visually, as they often span over different screens. Considering that a holistic analysis is desirable to provide proper and quality health services, data visualization should enable a seamless understanding of patients' health history and overall condition. When dealing with critical episodes - such as an emergency - where time is an important factor, this is even more decisive. Furthermore, traditional timelines do not support multidimensional data representation. This paper presents a new visual model of time-dependent EHR based on radial models. It is capable of simultaneously displaying several data categories that characterize patients' medical history, enabling medical professionals to be aware of different data categories over time in a single display, without the need to scroll between screens.

Cyber Resilience, a Survey of Case Studies

Procedia Computer Science (2023)

João Pavão Rute Bastardo Dário Carreira Nelson Pacheco Rocha

Considering the potential magnitude and impact of cyber-attacks, organizations must be able to understand their capabilities to prevent, respond and re-cover from these attacks as well to implement and refine adequate resilience plans. Due to the importance of cyber resilience, this survey aimed to review relevant case studies published in the scientific literature. The identified case studies followed different approaches since some of them were focused on risk assessment and risk management processes and the complexity of their implementation, while others were focused on the use of well-known frameworks to assess cyber resilience or on proposing new cyber resilience frameworks and tools.

Digital (2024)

Rute Bastardo João Pavão Nelson Pacheco Rocha

This systematic literature review aimed to assess the methodological quality of user-centered usability evaluation of digital applications to promote citizens’ engagement and participation in public governance by (i) systematizing their purposes; (ii) analyzing the evaluation procedures, methods, and instruments that were used; (iii) determining their conformance with recommended usability evaluation good practices; and (iv) identifying the implications of the reported results for future developments. An electronic search was conducted on Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases, and after a screening procedure considering predefined eligibility criteria, 34 studies were reviewed. These studies performed user-centered usability evaluation of digital applications related to (i) participatory reporting of urban issues, (ii) environmental sustainability, (iii) civic participation, (iv) urban planning, (v) promotion of democratic values, (vi) electronic voting, and (vii) chatbots. In terms of the methodological quality of the included studies, the results suggest that there is a high heterogeneity of the user-centered usability evaluation. Therefore, there is a need for recommendations to support user-centered usability evaluations of digital applications to promote citizens’ engagement and participation in public governance to improve the planning and conduction of future research.
