Knowledge Representation & Data Integration Consultations

Request This Service » 
 

Advancements in biomedical research require the sharing of datasets, integration of disparate datasets, and access to shared knowledge frameworks. Therefore, it is important that biomedical knowledge is encoded in ways that are semantically precise, standardized, and computable. Our research topics include integration of biomedical terminologies using biomedical ontologies, construction of disease-specific knowledge maps, data visualization, and the development of user interfaces to support interacting with ontologies.

Qualitative research design

  • Design of information artifacts and services (e.g. focus groups and interviews), usability testing
  • Design of data visualizations
  • Design of technology-mediated behavioral interventions

Biomedical knowledge map

  • Integrate biomedical terminologies using disease-related ontologies such as UMLS, SNOMED CT, OMIM, and MeSH.
  • Development of ontologies and terminologies using domain knowledge and EHR data
