Current Projects
- 3D dental computer-based patient record - This project is developing a 3D-based patient record for general dentistry.
- To date, a multidisciplinary research team with expertise in human computer interaction, dental informatics and computer science has conducted a 14-week project to develop and evaluate a proof of conc...
- Detection of Disease Outbreaks Using Oral Manifestations - Using oral signs and symptoms as part or an early warning system
- Our system builds on the notion that diseases manifestations occur in the mouth earlier than in the rest of the body. We are using this information to develop an early warning system which warns publi...
- DICOM Supplement 131 - DICOM for Implantology
- There is an ongoing DICOM Work Item (Supplement 131) for expanding the DICOM Standard to accommodate implants. This started with orthopedic implants (hip, etc.) and dental implants are to be the secon...
- EBV entry - EBV infection of B cells and epithelial cells
- We focus on understanding the roles of virus glycoproteins and cell receptors in entry of EBV into B cells and epithelial cells and in trafficking of virus between the two cell types in the nasopharyn...
- Electronic Dental Record Information Model - Developing an electronic dental record information model for the discipline of general dentistry
- The standards ANSI/ADA Specification No. 1000: Standard Clinical Data Architecture for the Structure and Content of an Electric Health Record and ANSI/ADA Specification No. 1039: Standard Clinical Con...
- Evidence-Based Dentistry - Teaching evidence-based concepts and searching techniques to dental students
- I have completed four library instruction classes on:
1. how to effectively search for evidence-based information
2. how to manage and collect this information by utilization of bibliographic citati...
- Evidence-Based Dentistry Curriculum in Dental School - EBC Curriculum
- The Learning Resource Center (Library) Director is working with faculty and with the Curriculum Commiottee to develop a four year EBD curriculum fully intergrated with the current Dental School curric...
- Federated Terminology Maintenance - Federated Terminology Maintenance through a Semantic Media Wiki
- In order to complete the NCI Thesaurus OBO Compliance prototype, Apelon created and implemented a Semantic Media Wiki to enable geographically separated editors to collaborate on the sample NCI Thesau...
- HITSP Education, Communication, and Outreach Committee - Chairman of HITSP ECO committee working group on internal communications
- I serve as the Chair of the HITSP ECO Committee Working Group on Internal Communications. Our portfolio is to identify the resources, processes, and gaps in the internal communication for HITSP (Heal...
- Information Needs of Practicing Dentists - Determine the information needs of general dentists during patient care
- Clinical information needs among physicians and nurses are found not being fully satisfied due to lack of time and various barriers to efficient information access. We can only assume that the same pr...
- Intraoral Microphone Records Mouth/Breath Sounds for Pattern Recognition Software - Intraoral Microphone + ASR-type Software
- Novel intraoral sensor can record physiological acoustic / nonacoustic sounds. Combined with sophisticated pattern recognition software, new diagnostic tools and paradigms can be produced.
- Meta modeling of data warehouses - meta modeling of data
- The volume and types of medical data is continually expanding. It is often difficult to know where to find relevant data. Meta data modeling (data about data) provides a solution. Careful modeling ...
- National Health Information Network Prototype, Rd 2 - NHIN prototype, Rd 2
- This was a proof of concept prototype for the NHIN. There were 4 competing approaches that were demonstrated at a public meeting. Apelon performed the clinical data mapping (diagnosis to SNOMED CT, ...
- NCI Thesaurus OBO compliance - Open Biomedical Ontology compliance of the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus
- One of the most used and valuable standard terminology is the NCI Thesaurus. In a research project, the NCI Thesaurus was found to be non-conformant to good ontology practices. Based on the criticis...
- NLP for Speech Input in Dentistry - Developing a Semantic Model for NLP in Dentistry
- We are using recordings of dictated patient exams to create a natural language processing semantic model for dentistry. Our model will extract common findings and their modifiers from free text dental...
- OraStar (tm) - Development of hydrophobic coatings for dental surfaces to prevent disease
- Commercialization of U.S. Patents 5,665,333; 5,888,480; 5,980,868; 5,961,958; related foriegn extensions and related trechnologies in dental and other fields.
- Photoshop for Lab Scientists - Develop an interactive teaching resource for basic histomorphometric analysis
- We try to get funding for developing an interactive teaching resource for basic histomorphometric analysis using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. Adobe has greatly expanded the capabilities of Photoshop ...
- Pragmatic Patterns for Clinical Knowledge Management - Collaboration Patterns in an Online Community of Practice in Oral Medicine
- The purpose of the Pragmatic Patterns for Clinical Knowledge Management project is to obtain further knowledge of how pragmatic patterns for clinical knowledge management that support evidence-based h...
- SNODENT - update of SNODENT terminology
- The push for interoperable medical records includes dental records. As with medical data, the most difficult part of the interoperability effort is ensuring that the data sent is understood and usabl...
- SOMWeb - Net Based Knowledge Management as Support for Clinical Practice and Knowledge Sharing
- SOMWeb is a project for managing clinical knowledge, with the intention to provide a foundation for evidence-based oral medicine. To create a sufficiently large base of clinical data, nationwide colla...
- Speech Recognition in Dentistry - Evaluation of the current status of Speech recognition in PMS
- We are conducting user tests and exploring the speech functionality of the top four Practice Management Systems. We are finding that these systems allow speech input mainly for navigation as if the de...
