The 21st Brazilian Symposium on Computing Applied to Health short course book addresses topics of interest to the Health Informatics community. These topics range from biomarkers to biomedical images, through the application of technologies such as IoT and Blockchain in the field of Health, ending with the presentation of a model of agile, standard-based software development of healthcare system requirements.
The first chapter, entitled “Precision Radiomic Biomarkers: a brief introduction, some technical development, and several clinical applications” presents some robust radiomic biomarkers identified in recent years for different pathological imaging patterns. The chapter introduces the basic theory of radiomic biomarkers and discusses next-generation radiomic precision biomarkers for three different diseases.
The chapter “Internet of things, blockchain and smart contracts applied to healthcare” presents recent research using IoT, blockchain, and smart contracts in healthcare. How to employ these technologies in healthcare is detailed and a practical example is presented, building a decentralized application using the concepts presented.
The third chapter “Fundamentals of IEC 62304 with an Agile Software Development Model” presents the fundamentals and definitions of the IEC 62304 standard that aims to provide requirements for manufacturers of healthcare systems with Software to demonstrate their ability to provide Software that consistently meets the requirements of the customer and regulatory requirements. This chapter also presents an IEC 62304 compliant Agile Software Development Model describing its main phases.
The themes presented in this book aim to meet the interests of both students, professors, and professionals in the field of Health Informatics.
