2. 1. Point of care microfluidic tool development for resource limited settings

   Author : Indradumna Banerjee; Aman Russom; Luca Brandt; Gustaf Mårtensson; Jens Ducrée; KTH; []
   Keywords : Blood; control; cell separation; centrifugal microfluidics; diagnostics; elasto-inertial; hematocrit level; microfluidics; neonatal diagnostics; nucleic acid quantification; point of care; particle focusing; resource limited settings.; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Abstract : The development of point of care diagnostics using recent advances in microfluidics have the potential to transform health care in several ways, especially in resource limited settings with limited access to advanced health care infrastructure. However, translating a point of care device to reality is often a challenging task because of the complexities involved in integrating a number of diverse engineering concepts into an easy to use, accurate and portable device.

4. 2. Centrifugal microfluidics-based point of care diagnostics at resource limited settings

   Author : Ahmad Saleem Akhtar; Aman Russom; Ines Fernandes Pinto; Nicole Pamme; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microfluidics; centrifugal microfluidics; point-of-care; low-cost; diagnostics; agarose beads; immunoassays; colorimetry; fluorescence; cytokines; nucleic acid amplification; isothermal amplification; COVID-19; portable; smartphone; resource limited settings.; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : Advancements in medical diagnostics have allowed us to understand the underlying mechanism and treat the root cause for many diseases which had been causing morbidity and mortality up until this point in human history. Furthermore, many of the standard diagnostic procedures have now been transformed to provide answers at or near the point-of-care. READ MORE

5. 3. Maternal Healthcare in Low-Resource Settings: Investigations of IT as a resource

   Author : Hawa Nyende; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maternal Healthcare; Value-based healthcare; Low-resource settings; Service-dominant Logic; Value Co-creation; Information Technology; Task-shifting strategy;

   Abstract : Maternal mortality is a major problem especially in developing countries. Maternal deaths are partly attributed to the limited access to healthcare and a shortage of medically trained health professionals who can provide maternal healthcare service. Approaches have been adopted to improve access and quality of healthcare. READ MORE

6. 4. Wounds of war : surgical care for conflict-related injuries among civilians in resource-limited settings

   Author : Andreas Älgå; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Armed conflicts significantly contribute to the global burden of injury and death. Armed conflicts shocks health systems, deprive its resources and reduce its function, as well as limits access to civilian hospital care. READ MORE

7. 5. Efficient and systematic network resource management

   Author : Muslim Elkotob; Anna Brunström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pervasive Mobile Computing; Distribuerade datorsystem;

   Abstract : The demand for network resources (e.g. forwarding capacity, buffer space) by increasingly used real-time multimedia applications is growing. Moreover, their stringent performance requirements (e. READ MORE
