5 How big a problem traumatic brain injury is? TraumaticBrainInjury.com Falls Among Older Adults: An Overview On this Page Each year, one in every three adults age 65 and older falls

6 Decision support tool for clinicians Early prediction of the outcome of TBI by intelligent analysis and synthesis of medical data

7 TBIcare common effort evidence based software solution for diagnostics and treatment planning new biomarkers and their combinations datamining-based statistical framework for fusing highly heterogenous data new efficient data quantification tools software tools for clinicians use To produce a software tool which is able to: 1. Give an accurate estimate about the nature of the injury (= improved diagnostics) 2. Assist in selecting the most appropriate treatment for this particular patient (= improved care)

8 Model and software development 1. develop a statistical model that predicts the outcome from heterogeneous patient measurements and biomarkers 2. implement the model in a software tool meeting clinical requirements in the care of traumatic brain injuries 3. develop a socio-economic simulation model for understanding interconnections of different aspects in traumatic brain injuries.
