A Decisionsupport Algorithm for Selfmanagement of Anticoagulation Therapy Used in a Smartphone Application Warfarin for anticoagulation therapy is used by patients with specific cardiovascular diseases to control the ability of blood clotting. Traditional ways for selfmanagement of the therapy are based on paper forms and procedures. This paper presents an algorithm developed for the smartphone application xe2x80x9cWarfarin Guidexe2x80x9d, which is a computerassisted decisionsupport system used to help patients with selfmanagement of their anticoagulation therapy related to International Normalized Ratio (INR) values. The algorithm was based on clinical guidelines for Warfarin therapy and it was adapted for the software application to address challenges with regular INR checks and adjustments for temporary fluctuations. An evaluation study with 14 participants showed that the patients evaluated the Warfarin Guide as useful for selfmanagement of anticoagulation therapy, even though some issues could be improved.

A Mobile Intelligent Checklist System for Stroke Emergency The patient safety is a significant concern during the stroke emergency. The intelligent checklist, which is to regulate medical behavior and reduce medical error, can improve the patient safety. Most existing intelligent checklist systems are used at a certain work station which does not fit the environment of acute stroke care, due to timecritical, high pressure, and heavy workload. Therefore, we develop a mobile intelligent checklist system which focus on decreasing patient issues in stroke emergency care. The requirements of intelligent checklist system are collected by questionnaire investigation, literature studies, interviews and discussions. The system architecture is designed to separate clinical rules from application based on Drools rule engine. A templatebased approach is used to generate the content of the checklist dynamically to enable flexible configuration and rapid deployment. In cooperation with clinical experts, an intravenous thrombolysis checklist is designed and implemented, which evaluted the availability of the mobile intelligent checklist system. The system guarantees that check tasks well accomplished at the right time for the right patients with the right conditions by generating checklist content based on clinical rules and using a mobile checking terminal in stroke emergency.
