  2. 1. Building Usability into Health Informatics : Development and Evaluation of Information Systems for Shared Homecare

    Author : Isabella Scandurra; Sabine Koch; Bengt Sandblad; Margareta Ehnfors; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; health informatics; participatory design; user centred design; homecare services; cooperative work; integrated health information systems; mobile devices; usability evaluation; Medical informatics; Medicinsk informatik;

    Abstract : How can we develop usable and work process-oriented ICT systems for shared homecare?Shared homecare involves different professionals, consists of mobile work and requires immediate and ubiquitous access to patient-oriented information, supporting an integrated view on the care process.This thesis presents a new collaborative design method for user needs analysis and requirements specification in the context of health information systems development; the Multi-disciplinary Thematic Seminar (MdTS) method.

    Abstract : Cancers in the neural system presents a major health challenge. The most aggressive brain tumor in adults, glioblastoma, has a median survival of 15 months and few therapeutic options. High-risk neuroblastoma, a childhood tumor originating in the sympathetic nervous system, has a 5-year survival under 50%, despite extensive therapy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Deep Regression and Segmentation for Medical Inference from Large-Scale Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Author : Taro Langner; Joel Kullberg; Anders Eklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetic resonance imaging; medical image analysis; neural networks; machine learning; semantic segmentation; deep regression; saliency analysis; uncertainty quantification; UK Biobank; Medical Informatics; Medicinsk informatik;

    Abstract : Large-scale studies, such as UK Biobank, acquire medical imaging data for thousands of participants. With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), comprehensive representations of human anatomy can be provided for non-invasive assessments of health-related conditions, body composition, organ volumes, and more.

  6. 4. Wearable systems and sensors for the assessment of motor control : Development and validation of methods for clinical assessment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Author : Tomas Bäcklund; Nina Sundström; Anders Eklund; Jan Malm; Kaj Lindecrantz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gait; step-width; heel-heigt; balance; trunk sway; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; IMU; Inter-rater reliability; kinematics; medical informatics; medicinsk informatik;

    Abstract : Human gait and balance are controlled by automatic processes in the central nervous system, and in sensory and proprioceptive systems. If a disturbance occurs in any of these complex structures, it may lead to balance and gait problems. READ MORE
