  2. 1. Automating levodopa dosing schedules for Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Ilias Thomas; Jerker Westin; Moudud Alam; Björn Eskofier; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; levodopa; symptom assessment; symptom management; dosing algorithms; wearable sensors; microtablets; continuous infusion; FLOAT - Flexible Levodopa Optimizing Assistive Technology; FLOAT - Flexibel levodopa-optimerings och individanpassningsteknik;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Levodopa is mainly used to manage the motor symptoms of PD. However, disease progression and long-term use of levodopa cause reduced medication efficacy and side effects. When that happens, precise individualized dosing schedules are required. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis in the field of microdata analysis aims to introduce dose optimizing algorithms for the pharmacological management of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is a neurodegenerative disease that mostly affects the motor functions of the patients and it is characterized as a movement disorder. READ MORE

  5. 3. Machine Learning Approaches to Develop Weather Normalize Models for Urban Air Quality

    Author : Chau Ngoc Phuong; Mengjie Han; Rasa Zalakeviciute; Ilias Thomas; Mario Salvador González Rodríguez; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Weather Normalized Models WNMs ; Air Pollution; Data-Driven Modeling and Optimization; Deep Learning - Artificial Neural Network DL-ANN ; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : According to the World Health Organization, almost all human population (99%) lives in 117 countries with over 6000 cities, where air pollutant concentration exceeds recommended thresholds. The most common, so-called criteria, air pollutants that affect human lives, are particulate matter (PM) and gas-phase (SO2, CO, NO2, O3 and others). READ MORE
