Learning how to build a Microsoft Azure Health Bot
A group of Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors have been working for past 10 months under the guidance and mentorship of the team with the Microsoft Azure Health Bot Product Group to bring a brand new learning path for anyone who's looking out to build a Azure Health Bot.UCL IXN & GOSH FHIR ToolSuite for Healthcare Developers on Azure
ToolSuite is the proposed web platform that serves a range of tools that aims to abstract away the complexities of working with healthcare data when developing software for the healthcare sector. It provides developers with necessary documentation that allows the tools and their functions to be integrated in their applications; and allows developers with more experience working with such standards to propose or add more tools to help others with their healthcare applications.Hospital innovation with Computer Science students on Azure FHIR – GOSH DRIVE and UCL CS students
The DRIVE unit based at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust (GOSH) is a world first and unique in the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS). It is a major innovation hub for hospital systems and over the past two years since its creation, it has become a central London lab for experimental clinical systems development.UCL IXN FHIR Using Augmented Reality to Humanize Healthcare settings
My answer in this context was a more humanized and reality-based experience. We all know how frustrating it can be to be in a consultation and trying to explain something to a doctor or nurse who is immersed in a screen – it breaks the human to human connection that is so important in a patient-clinician interaction. From the clinician’s point of view, facing away from their patient towards their screen, being unable to look them in the eye, is not ideal either, and might lead them to miss crucial diagnostic information due to being distracted or frustrated with technology. For me, this is the true potential advantage of AR - it doesn’t have to draw the user away from the real world – in fact, it should draw them into it.FHIR Data Visualization
The main goal of the project was to speed up the auditing cycle in healthcare. The auditing cycle is a process used by health professionals to improve patient care in a systemic way through analyzing and evaluating data. A big part of the auditing cycle is to collect data, whether from computerized or physical records, and visualizing data for analytical purposes which can be slow depending on the region. The solution is to provide an intuitive dashboard for relevant parties to access information from the FHIR database with ease, allowing users possessing minimal technical skills to utilize the analytic features even during the early stages of adopting the program.A Statistical Solution to Synthetic Data Generation for Patient Files
The project I created for the FHIR hackathon is a mathematically driven library which generates a DataFrame of patient files given input data, which preserves statistical properties of the original data. The type of statistics employed is an important demonstrator of a method of generating synthetic data given a small initial dataset to base it on, and is a technique that will generally surpass widely used (but data-intensive) deep learning techniques on these types of smaller datasets.UCL IXN & GOSH Azure FHIR-Display
One of the problems when viewing patient data inside of a hospital is the trade-off between privacy and ease of access. You need key patient information, such as their name or medication, to be readily accessible. Currently this is in a printed form, close to their bed, so that clinicians can easily monitor lots of patients at the same time. This allows anyone with physical access to a patient to be able to read their medical records. It can also be difficult to keep track of patients when they are moving around different parts of the hospital, especially if they are out-patients and not easily recognised. Further to this, more in-depth, up to date, or complex information is held digitally and needs to be accessed via a computer or iPad.
