Abstract

In this paper we present construction of a software platform for supporting medical research teams, in the area of impedance cardiography, called IPMed. Using the platform, research tasks will be performed by the teams through computer-supported cooperative work. The platform enables secure medical data storing, access to the data for research group members, cooperative analysis of medical data and provide analysis supporting tools basing on intelligent information retrieval techniques (semantic text comparison, charts, images, video matching). On top of the platform, a dedicated web application is built for medical teams focused on the area of hemodynamics. The acquired data enables the researchers to develop new classification schemes for hemodynamic profiles, which will be used for construction of prototype application for supporting stroke treatment centers. In the paper we compare IPMed to other existing platforms which offer similar functionality and describe a concept of its migration to a cloud based system.
