Global Data Quality and Governance as the Cornerstone of AI Decision Support in Healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is only as trustworthy as the data it learns from and the context in which that data is used. This white paper explains why global data quality is the foundation for decision support in Healthcare AI applications and outlines the practical steps that health systems,…
Aspects and Challenges of Patient-Controlled Electronic Health Records
As governments increasingly adopt digital health services and digital access becomes ubiquitous through internet and mobile technologies, differing approaches to personal health record (PHR) systems have become more apparent. Across countries and economic regions, successful implementation and widespread adoption have led to the emergence of de facto models that reflect…
Interoperable Semantic Architectures for Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine In Electronic Health Record Systems
This white paper addresses the challenge of integrating traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) into modern electronic health record (EHR) systems. While current EHRs support biomedical interoperability, they often lack structured, machine-interpretable mechanisms for capturing TCIM diagnostic frameworks, interventions, and therapies. Building on IEEE Industry Connections definitions of EMRs and…
Ethical Principles for Engineering Digital Services for Children
Prior work on the ethics of engineering digital products and services for children has led to a patchwork of proposed principles. There appears to be limited ethics education embedded within traditional digital engineering curricula, which may be one of several factors relevant to understanding the risks and harms children and…
Low-Carbon Transition of Building Electrical Systems: Technology Integration, Standardization, and Carbon Neutrality Pathways
