Abstract

This paper presents the architecture and data model of a Clinical Decision Support System for managing asthma in school-aged children. The system is based on modular framework, including modules that cover the patient in home, school and healthcare environment to ensure continuous monitoring and control of the patient´s medical conditions. The system has capabilities to learn from the patient´s individual medical data collected on a regular basis and expand its knowledge base, providing in that way a support to the decision making. Such system is expected to significantly improve the management of asthma in school-aged children and allow them to live a near-normal live.
