   Abstract : A challenge for the clinical management of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the large within- and between-patient variability in symptom profiles as well as the emergence of motor complications which represent a significant source of disability in patients. This thesis deals with the development and evaluation of methods and systems for supporting the management of PD by using repeated measures, consisting of subjective assessments of symptoms and objective assessments of motor function through fine motor tests (spirography and tapping), collected by means of a telemetry touch screen device.

4. 2. Reactive navigation of an autonomous vehicle in underground mines

   Author : Johan Larsson; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mobile Robots; Computer science; Datavetenskap; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Computer and Systems Science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : In most underground mines, LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) vehicles are used to transportore from the stope or muck-pile to a dumping point, and are typically operated by a human who is sitting on-board the vehicle. Generally, an underground mine does not offer the best working environment for humans, and the job of an LHD operator can be characterised as Three D: Dangerous, Dirty and Dull. READ MORE

5. 3. Integration of Mobile Technologies with Routine Healthcare Services in Mozambique
