Objectives:
This article presents the 2009 selection of the best papers in the special section dedicated to biomedical informatics and cybernetics.
Method:
Synopsis of the articles selected for the IMIA yearbook 2009
Results:
Five papers from international peer reviewed journals where selected for this section. Most of the papers have a strong practical orientation in clinical care. And this selection gives a good overview of what is done with "closing loop" approach, particularly during the year 2008.
Conclusion:
While quite mature for some clinical applications such as mechanical ventilation, it remains a challenge where rules for the decision system could be difficult to identify due to the number of variables. More complex systems with greater Artificial Intelligence approaches will certainly be the next trend for closed-loop applications.
