Congratulations Sumithra!
The HEXAnord-HEalth teXt Analysis network in the Nordic and Baltic countries signed today!
The research network that is funded by Norfa (Nordic council) obtained funding for three years. The partners in addition to DSV/KTH-Stockholm University are the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTU, the Danish Technical University, DTU, University of Turku, Finland, University of Tartu, Estonia and Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania. The aim of the network is to construct synthetic patient records for the development and evaluation of textmining tools to be used on real electronic health records as well as give PhD-courses in the area of clinical text mining.
Today, we had the kick-off meeting for the SAMMET project – Methods for Customer Interactive Service Design. Representatives from SYSLAB, Linköping University, University of Skövde, Dataföreningen, Ericsson, SAS, Volvo, and Skatteverket participated in the meeting. We discussed the needs of the organisations, which ranged from novel e-services for citizens to interoperability architectures for global enterprises. Furthermore, the researchers presented a number of model and method components including tools for value and goal analysis, interaction design, and participative service modelling.
