Problem Statement

Populations are aging worldwide

Older adults tend to have multiple chronic conditions

Data??

Management of multiple comorbidities presents a challenging problem

Almost all clinical practice guidelines focus on the management of single diseases

May take comorbidities into account

Simultaneous application of multiple guidelines leads to suboptimal care

Research Goals

Develop a modular and extensible platform for exploring informatics and clinical issues

Integrate and reuse best-of-breed knowledge resources and applications

Create methods for detecting, repairing and integrating treatment recommendations from multiple guideliens

Method

Adapt BioSTORM agent architectureTask decomposition

Problem-solving method

Reuse ATHENA CDSS Clinical domains: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, chronic kidney disease

Develop new agents for detecting, repairing, and integrating treatment recommendations

Apply methods on anonymized patient cases from the Stanford STRIDE database
