It Services: Consulting, Software Development, Internet And Support – Development Of An Ai-Mediated Knowledge Surveillance System For Environmental Health Care. The Environmental Health Care Team Of The Department Of Care Is Responsible For The Preparation, Implementation And Substantiation Of The Preventive Health Policy Regarding Environmental Health Care In Flanders. Environmental Health Care Is The Part Of Preventive Health Policy That Focuses On The Prevention, Early Detection And Intervention Of Environmental Health Damage Through A Multidisciplinary Approach, Including At Least The Scientific Disciplines Of Medicine, Toxicology, Epidemiology, Health Care, Environmental Technology And Environmental Science. Within The Flemish Medical Environmental Network (Vmmn), The Team Works Together With Various Governments, Knowledge Institutions And Partner Organizations. The Teams Core Activities Include Climate Health, Risk Analysis, Promoting A Healthy Public Space, Environmental Health Focus Areas, Recreational And Drinking Water Quality, Indoor Environment, Nature Health And Soil Health. Analyzes Are Carried Out To Estimate The Environmental Health Impact, And Advice Is Formulated On Environmental Health Aspects. However, The Knowledge Landscape Within Medical Environmental Science Is Growing Extremely Quickly. New Scientific Insights, Technological Developments, Changing Regulations And International Social Developments Ensure A Continuous Flow Of Information. Today, The Systematic Monitoring, Assessment And Application Of This Knowledge Is Largely Done Manually And Requires Significant Personnel Efforts. This Increases The Risk Of Knowledge Gaps, While The Department Of Healthcare Is Expected To Provide Advice, Policy Decisions And Health Impact Analyzes Based On The Most Current And Reliable Insights. To Tackle This Challenge, The Department Of Healthcare Wishes To Develop An Ai-Mediated Knowledge Surveillance System. This System Must Automatically Detect, Process, Structure And Make Relevant Information From Internal And External Sources Accessible To Policy Makers And Experts. The Solution Supports The Monitoring Of Scientific Literature, Policy Documents, Reports, Regulations And Other Knowledge Sources And Translates Them Into Useful Document Fiches And Syntheses. The System Focuses On The Four Central Storylines Within Environmental Health Care: Substances Of Very High Concern, Climate And Health, Healthy Public Space And One Health. Knowledge Is Organized According To The Source-Exposure-Tax-Effect Chain (Bbbe), So That Users Can More Quickly Find And Apply Relevant Insights In Files, Risk Analyses, Policy Preparation And Advice. These Initiatives Have Their Legal Basis In The Prevention Decree, The Decree On General Provisions Of Environmental Policy With Regard To Environmental Hygiene Aspects, The Eia Decree; And Are Used In Accordance With The Prioritization Of The Health Objective Environmental Health Care And The Climate Health Plan.
