2. 1. Textile-enabled Bioimpedance Instrumentation for Personalised Health Monitoring Applications

   Author : Javier Ferreira Gonzalez; Kaj Lindecrantz; Fernando Seoane; Javier Jiménez Leube; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; personal healthcare systems; bioimpedance; wearable; portable; monitoring; textrodes; body composition; chronic kidney disease; ambient assisting living; wireless sensor;

   Abstract : A growing number of factors, including the costs, technological advancements, an ageing population, and medical errors are leading industrialised countries to invest in research on alternative solutions to improving their health care systems and increasing patients’ life quality. Personal Health System (PHS) solutions envision the use of information and communication technologies that enable a paradigm shift from the traditional hospital-centred healthcare delivery model toward a preventive and person-centred approach.

4. 2. Artificial Intelligence for Non-Contact-Based Driver Health Monitoring

   Author : Hamidur Rahman; Mobyen Uddin Ahmed; Shahina Begum; Peter Funk; Hasan Fleyeh; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Driver Monitoring; Artificial Intelligence; Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : In clinical situations, a patient’s physical state is often monitored by sensors attached to the patient, and medical staff are alerted if the patient’s status changes in an undesirable or life-threatening direction. However, in unsupervised situations, such as when driving a vehicle, connecting sensors to the driver is often troublesome and wired sensors may not produce sufficient quality due to factors such as movement and electrical disturbance.

5. 3. Traffic Light System-BasicADL (TLS-BasicADL) Development, reliability, validity, clinical utility and patient perspective

   Author : Gillian Asplin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Outcome measures; Physiotherapy; ADL; reliability; validity; hip fracture; patient participation; functional balance; physical performance; patient experience; qualitative content analysis;

   Abstract : Aim: To describe the development of Traffic Light System-BasicADL (TLS-BasicADL), and procedures to establish properties of reliability, validity, clinical utility and patient perspective. TLS-BasicADL measures the patient’s ability to perform basic activities of daily living. READ MORE

6. 4. The dynostatic algorithm in adult and paediatric respiratory monitoring

   Author : Sören Söndergaard; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : monitoring; respiratory mechanics; lung model; fibre optic pressure measurement; alveolar pressure; dynostatic algorithm;

   Abstract : Introduction: Positive pressure ventilation carries a risk of aggravating systemic and lung disease. Monitoring of ventilatory pressure and volume is important to minimize this risk. Conventionally, the pressure of the respiratory system is measured outside the patient. READ MORE

7. 5. Pharmacovigilance in municipal elderly care : From a nursing perspective

   Author : Rose-Marie Johansson-Pajala; Lene Martin; Kerstin Jorsäter Blomgren; Johan Fastbom; Pernilla Hillerås; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; competence; computerized decision support systems; content analysis; drug monitoring; inter-professional collaboration; nurse; older person; patient; pharmacovigilance; pharmacovigilant activities; phenomenography; Care Sciences; vårdvetenskap;

   Abstract : Medication management constitutes a large part of registered nurses' (RNs) daily work in municipal elderly care. They are responsible for monitoring multimorbid older persons with extensive treatments, and they often work alone, without daily access to physicians. RNs’ drug monitoring is, in this thesis, based on the concept of pharmacovigilance. READ MORE
