Architectural and data model of clinical decision support system for managing asthma in school-aged children

This paper presents the architecture and data model of a Clinical Decision Support System for managing asthma in school-aged children. The system is based on modular framework, including modules that cover the patient in home, school and healthcare environment to ensure continuous monitoring and control of the patient's medical conditions. The system has capabilities to learn from the patient's individual medical data collected on a regular basis and expand its knowledge base, providing in that way a support to the decision making. Such system is expected to significantly improve the management of asthma in school-aged children and allow them to live a near-normal live.
