Transforming medical advice into clinical activities for patient follow-up

The delivery of Computer-Interpretable Guidelines occurs mainly in the form of tools following a Q&A strategy for the interaction with users. Despite the interactivity conferred by this style of communication, currently available tools do not possess control mechanisms to ensure the fulfilment of clinical recommendations. With the CompGuide personal assistant web application for scheduling clinical tasks, besides the normal input of information and the production of recommendations by an execution engine, there is a mapping of these recommendations to an agenda of activities for the health care professional. These activities are also monitored and notifications are produced to ensure their delivery times.POFC - Programa Operacional Temático Factores de Competitividade(POCI-01-0145-FEDER-0070 43
