Translation of "système informatique d'auto-diagnostic " (French → English) :

- for health: personal non-obtrusive systems that enable citizens to manage their well-being such as wearable or implantable monitoring devices with communication capabilities and autonomous systems for supporting a healthy state; emerging techniques such as molecular imaging for improved prevention and individualised medicine; health knowledge discovery and application in clinical practice; modelling and simulation of organ functions; micro- and nano-robotic devices for minimally invasive surgical and therapeutic applications; remote assistance and remote monitoring technologies for the chronically ill and for elderly people; comp ...[+++]uter aided detection and clinical decision support systems that lead to more reliable diagnosis and an improved workflow, eventually leading to disease specific expert systems taking an integral carecycle approach, and exploiting accumulated patient data, and model based disease knowledge through data mining, bioinformatics, and systems biology; enterprise IT systems leading to increased efficiency and reduced medical error in the hospital and in secondary care facilities;

“OBD” means an on-board diagnostic system for emission control, which has the capability of detecting the occurrence of a malfunction and of identifying the likely area of malfunction by means of fault codes stored in computer memory;

‘Usable format’ means that all diagnostic signals and data flow information for electronic control systems, including all error codes and freeze-frame data used, must be manufactured in accordance with the industrial standards laid down in the Community.

On the issue of the onboard diagnostic computer system, the contention brought out in committee was the question of whether or not MMT gums up the OBD II systems.

Of course, the minister rehashes all the same old stuff from the automotive lobby about the harmful effects of MMT on pollution control devices, particularly the diagnostic systems commonly called OBDs, and about how this in turn results in increased atmospheric pollution and health hazards.
