   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automatic assessments; data visualization; data-driven modelling; home assessments; information technology; mobile computing; objective measures; Parkinson’s disease; quantitative assessments; remote monitoring; spirography; symptom severity; tapping tests; telemedicine; telemetry; time series analysis; web technology; Information technology; Informationsteknologi; Datavetenskap; Computer Science; PAULINA - Uppföljning av Parkinsonsymptom från hemmet;

   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.

5. 3. The effectiveness of a full-mobility architecture for wireless mobile computing and personal communications

   Author : George Yuejin Liu; Gerald Maguire; Randy Katz; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mobile Computing; Mobile-API; Mobile Agent; Mobile Floating Agent; Intelligent Agent; Full-Mobility; Mobility Architecture; Mobility Awareness; Location Awareness; Location Prediction; Mobile Personal Communications.;

   Abstract : The emergence of wireless mobile computing, especially the mobility of computers, introduces challenging new problems that were encountered in neither the design and implementation of conventional mobile networks or in fixed computer networks. A critical and challenging problem, for mobile computing and personal communications, is how to fully cope with the special characteristics of the mobile wireless environment, i. READ MORE

6. 4. Mobile Computing and Project Communication : - mixing oil and water?

   Author : Alexander Löfgren; Örjan Wikforss; Per Andersson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mobile computing; Project communication; Construction; Implementation; Usefulness; Industrial organisation; administration and economics; Industriell organisation; administration och ekonomi;

   Abstract : The use of mobile and wireless Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in geographically distributed project organizations appears to be an appropriate application of new technical capabilities in an existing business environment. But to successfully introduce and adopt a suitable mobile ICT-based project communication platform in an existing operational setting involves a complex framework of socio-technical issues that have to be considered.
