Products - Neuroscience Enterprise Information System (NEIS)

NEIS provides an information system for managing the operations of a dense array EEG (d-EEG) laboratory in a hospital, clinic or research center. NEIS is based on Hospital Information Center (HIC) a hospital/laboratory "client side" software architecture component. It intends to provide effective and efficient diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Neuro-Science Clinics. It aim is to achieve a three dimensional integration: in the space, in the time and among the component levels of the health services and link them to central system by means of a suitable network to exchange information both inside and outside of clinic.

Objectives of NEIS are:

• Patient scheduling.
• Resource management.
• Electronic medical records keeping.
• Both technician and physician workflow management.
• The laboratory operations shall include following specialized functions of the dEEG.
• Including tracking the dEEG acquisition to the networked IBM SAN based storage server..
• Managing the workflow of local signal processing operations. Slow Wave, Artifact Detection and Spike Detection etc
• Integrating MR image acquisition (clini/hospital PACS)
• Scheduling and coordinating data transfer for remote jobs i.e. head modeling services and signal processing services.

Hospital Information Center:

• NEIS middleware is called Hospital Information Center (HIC)
• HIC is kind of Enterprise Service Bus while allow interaction, instantiation and lifetime management of components/services.
• It describes an architecture that uses loosely coupled components to support the requirements of business processes and users.
• A component inside HIC is a function that is well defined, self-contained, and does not depend on the context or state of other component. So each component is capable to provide a different kind of independent functionality.
• HIC along with its components provide conceptual implementation of NOLIS requirements
