A new smart system to support medical staff

A UPM researcher has developed a model, Intelligent Biomedic Organizations (IBOs), that provides genetic data analysis.

The study, carried out in collaboration with the Universidad de Salamanca and the Cancer Centro of Salamanca (Centro de Cáncer de Salamanca), has proposed an organizational model specially designed to provide medical staff in daily data analysis, as well as establishing a innovative intelligent system for classification and pattern prediction from large volumes of data. The results have shown improvements compared to manual data analysis.

The application of information and communications technology in the field of biomedicine has become increasingly important in recent years. Frequently, the data analysis on bioinformatics requires conducting different action sequences grouped in pre-processing stages information filtering, clustering and knowledge extraction or classification.

This study shows an architecture that allows us to analyze workflow in terms of data analysis. Depending on the data stream results, the system can create new flows that optimize results.

The system incorporates techniques of data mining, statistics and artificial intelligence which are applied to workflow. The organizational model can be applied to diverse types of data that require certain computational load.
