Speaker’sBio:Areti isaSeniorResearcher intheSchoolof Informatics,TheUniversityofEdinburgh.ShehasaBSc in Management Science and Technology from the Athens University of Economics andBusiness,aswellasanMScandPhDinArtificialIntelligencefromtheUniversityofEdinburgh.Herresearch expertise lies in the areas of artificial intelligence, health informatics and workflowmanagement. Shedevelops intelligentmethods tomodel, simulate, verify and analyze complexworkflows, including clinical workflows. She has been involved in a number of collaborativeprojectswiththeNHSandsheiscurrentlypartoftheSOCIAMproject,whichstudiesthetheoryand practice of social machines. She also works closely with theUsher Institute of PopulationHealthSciencesandInformatics, intheUniversityofEdinburgh,wheresheleadsawiderangeofeducationalprojectsinmedicalinformatics.

TalkAbstract:Effective and efficient provision of patient-centered care is a big challenge. Care pathways arecomplex,involvingsafety-criticaltasksandrequiringthecoordinationofmulti-disciplinaryteams.Unfortunately,itisoftennotclearwhattasksshouldbeincludedinapatientcarepathwayandinwhatorder,whileerrors,delaysandmiscommunicationarenotuncommoneither. Inthis talk, Iwill present recentwork in the University of Edinburgh,wherewe employ artificial intelligencemethods and workflow technologies to model, verify, analyze and support integrated carepathways.
