Dear ontolog-ers,
I consider myself one of the rare medical specialists with both
interests in patients as in ontology. Anyway, we are trying to develop a
semantic platform for an increasing problem in healthcare : chronic
wounds, more particular the imaging of chronic wounds. We were
already able to overcome some major problem namely the device-dependency of
digital imaging by using a reference chart and transforming to a standard
color space (sRGB) (Consistent cutaneous imaging with commercial digital
cameras. Arch Dermatol. 2006 Jan;142(1):42-6). The architecture for our
semantic platform will be based on the collaboration of clinicians and ontology
experts. I would be very pleased if the project could be reviewed by some
experts and perhaps someone is interested for collaboration.
