Semanticweb.com's Scott Koegler interviewed Semantech Inc. principal consultant, Stephen Lahanas this month on the topic of how Semantic Technology can be applied to Healthcare IT. The article and full audio of the interview are on the Semanticweb.com site. Mr. Koegler, the former editor and blog-master of SemanticReport.com asked about how the practice of Semantic Integration could be applied to solve critical healthcare issues.
“Intelligent Healthcare” (IH) is a metaphor both for design and for practice with the explicit understanding that through emerging technologies those two will become ever more closely intertwined. IH recognizes that there are or will be innumerable potential domain boundaries both internally and externally that will necessarily segment ‘islands of information.’ Those islands of information represent individual and community knowledge and practice options. The role of IH is to both harness those diverse information resources dynamically and apply them back to their respective communities to enable continuous practice improvements.
The Intelligent Healthcare practice is being launched in partnership with the Teksouth Corporation.
