Tittel: "Communication theory down to everyday medicine (and telemedicine as well!)"
Foredragsholder: Lege/forsker Enrico Maria Staderini, NST (Nasjonalt Senter for Telemedisin).

Forelseningen er en del av kurset INF-3791, Telemedisin og e-helsesystemer, men åpent for andre.

Details:

• Isn't Shannon's theory of communication of general validity? So how does it work in the medical practice?


• Specificities of the communication channel carrying medical information from the source (patient's body) to the target (physician's brain) (and back!). Entropy, bit/rate, etc.


• How noise enters the game


• The seminar will also cover basic sensor (transducer) concepts of sensitivity, precision, accuracy, SNR, statistics, as well as cognitive and psychological challenges in the patient-physician interaction (both in presence and remotely).


• Medical information coding schemes (standardized, physician's specific and popular) will be addressed too.
