The core of CARRE functionality revolves around the concept of comorbidity, and in particular comorbidities in the case of cardiorenal syndrome. To enable the open and seamless use and reuse of these described medical risk factors, we have developed an on-line web based system for their description. Also, the resulting risk factor descriptions are available…
An aging population, increasing rates of chronic diseases, and rising healthcare costs represent important pressures towards forms of self-management of health and disease outside health care institutions. New techniques of self-management have become feasible owing to the advent of a variety of personal e-health systems, including wearable sensors (Swan, 2012), personal health records (Johansen and…

The purpose of disease progression visual analysis is to visualize related risk factors according to the patient’s health and lifestyle status and to visualize the changes that may happen if the user changes the lifestyle or medical indicators. Disease progression visual analysis is an integrated visual analysis of charts, timeline and graph. It is composed…

An arbitrary number of SPARQL queries can be executed for exploiting the risk factors associations captured within CARRE. CARRE’s RESTFul API component has implemented a number of representative methods that allow developers with very little knowledge of the underlying scheme to efficiently make use of the repository’s data. These methods are presented below: instances –…
Wristwatch is the longest known wearable device to the mankind, therefore we can consider it completely unobtrusive. Possibly the device of such type could be easily accepted by patients for continuous health observables monitoring. Existing commercial smart wristwatches already try to measure some health related parameters, such as heart rate, steps, or burned calories. However,…
The CARRE repository acts as the central point of information storage for all CARRE applications. It conforms to the principles of the Semantic Web and the guidelines of Linked Data. The Linked Data guidelines can be summarized as follows: Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs, so that people can look up those…
