This is partly due to the progress made during the past three\ndecades in the fundamental biological understanding of the causes of health and\ndisease at the molecular, (sub)cellular, and organ level. Since the end of the\n1970s, when knowledge representation and reasoning in the biomedical field\nbecame a separate area of research, huge progress has been made in the\ndevelopment of methods and tools that are finally able to impact on the way\nmedicine is being practiced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven\nthough there are huge differences in the techniques and methods used by\nbiomedical researchers, there is now an increasing tendency to share research\nresults in terms of formal knowledge representation methods, such as\nontologies, statistical models, network models, and mathematical models. As\nthere is an urgent need for health-care professionals to make better decisions,\ncomputer-based support using this knowledge is now becoming increasingly important.\nIt may also be the only way to integrate research results from the different\nparts of the spectrum of biomedical and clinical research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe\naim of this book is to shed light on developments in knowledge representation\nat different levels of biomedical application, ranging from human biology to\nclinical guidelines, and using different techniques, from probability theory\nand differential equations to logic. The book starts with two introductory\nchapters followed by 18 contributions organized in the following topical\nsections: diagnosis of disease; monitoring of health and disease and\nconformance; assessment of health and personalization; prediction and prognosis\nof health and disease; treatment of disease; and recommendations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-02-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319280066\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-28007-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 339\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45377459486860,"sku":"9783319280066","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319280066.jpg?v=1774013622","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319280066","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
