The Web technology has made the exchange of information among heterogeneous platforms possible with no added cost to end-users. Adding to this, it made it possible to access databases residing on servers in different geographic locations giving thus conceptors and programmers the possibility of making distributed applications with a fraction of the time needed before. This technology is therefore very well suited to medical applications which are normally multi-user, multiplatform, and data-intensive. In this paper, we present an application for epidemiological studies based on the Web technology and the reuse of common concepts in epidemiology to produce a generic model that can be parameterisable by the end-user to suit the needs of his study. This model is then applied to develop an application to optimise the collection and processing of nutritional data for a nation-wide epidemiological study concerning renal failure patients.
网络技术使得异构平台之间的信息交换成为可能，而终端用户无需额外付费。此外，它还使得访问位于不同地理位置服务器上的数据库成为可能，从而使概念开发者和程序员能够用比以前少得多的时间来制作分布式应用程序。因此，这项技术非常适合通常为多用户、多平台且数据密集型的医学应用。在本文中，我们展示了一个基于网络技术和流行病学中通用概念的重用的流行病学研究应用程序，以生成一个可由终端用户进行参数化设置以满足其研究需求的通用模型。然后，该模型被应用于开发一个应用程序，以优化针对全国范围内肾衰竭患者的流行病学研究的营养数据收集和处理。
