Background Frontline health care workers are experiencing a myriad of physical and psychosocial challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic. There is growing recognition that digital technologies have potential to improve well-being frontline workers. However, there has been limited development wellness interventions using mobile (mHealth) technology. More importantly, little research conducted on how perceive mHealth-based support promote their well-being. Objective This study aimed explore...
ObjectivesLittle empirical research exists on how key stakeholders involved in the provision of care for chronic conditions and policy planning perceive indirect or "spillover" effects COVID-19 non-COVID patients. This study aims to explore stakeholder experiences perspectives impact conditions, evolving modalities care, suggestions improving health system resilience prepare future pandemics.DesignQualitative design.Setting ParticipantsThis was conducted during after lockdown period...
Background The clinical management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents a significant challenge due to the constantly evolving practice guidelines and growing array drug classes available. Evidence suggests that artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled decision support systems (CDSSs) have proven be effective in assisting clinicians with informed decision-making. Despite merits AI-driven CDSSs, research gap exists concerning early-stage implementation adoption AI-enabled CDSSs T2DM...
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a new and emerging protocol that used to establish release the connection between two end systems. It in preference older H323 protocol. Both protocols provide similar set of services but SIP much simpler because it has less logical components. This paper describes implementation VoIP application using as handshaking The performed with aid Libsip++ library from Columbia University. audio signal transmitted via Microsoft's Windows API. system was created...
Socioeconomic status (SES) is a well-established determinant of health and home ownership commonly used composite indicator SES. Patients in low-income households often stay public rental housing. The association between housing mortality has not been examined Singapore.A retrospective, cohort study was conducted involving all patients who utilized the healthcare facilities under SingHealth Regional Health (SHRS) Services Year 2012. Each patient followed up for 5 years. were non-citizens or...
Two polymerizable ionic surfactants sodium 4-(ω-acryloyloxyalkyl)oxy benzene sulfonate (SABS-n, n = 8 or 10) have been synthesized and polymerized. Their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) were determined to be 9.40 × 10-3 M 2.02 at 25 °C for SABS-8 SABS-10, respectively. The rate of micellar polymerization SABS-10 was found proportional half an order the concentration ammonium persulfate (APS) first surfactant concentration. activation energies relatively low, that is, 58.2 kJ mol-1 45.4...
The working population encounters unique work-related stressors. Despite these challenges, accessibility to mental healthcare remains limited. Digital technology-enabled wellness tools can offer much-needed access healthcare. However, existing literature has given limited attention their relevance and user engagement, particularly for the population.
Abstract Objectives Patients with terminal cancer receiving home palliative care present differential healthcare utilization trajectories before death. It remains unclear which situational elements influence these among disparate patient groups. The aim of this study was to compare influences on “persistently high” and “low stable” in patients who received support at home. Methods Bereaved family caregivers were recruited from our prior quantitative investigating oncology home-based care....
Abstract Background Various population segmentation tools have been developed to inform the design of interventions that improve health. However, there has little consensus on core indicators and purposes segmentation. The existing frameworks were further limited by their applicability in different practice settings involving stakeholders at all levels. aim this study was generate a comprehensive set based experience perspectives key involved Methods We conducted in-depth semi-structured...
There is a growing trend in developing the wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communication for factory automation. Currently, most protocols infrastructureless mobile ad-hoc networks focus on mobility issue and are mainly suitable narrowband radio devices. The mechanisms route update discovery that work well prove to be redundant instead add processing overheads static setting. This paper presents development implementation of new routing protocol, Bluewave, caters specifically between...
The use of the electronic spreadsheet as a modeling and simulation tool in engineering fields is increasingly popular with an increasing number tertiary institutions, including teaching resource core curriculum these fields. Concurrently, dramatic improvement Internet speed allows certain course material to be delivered online, facilitating electronic-learning (E-learning). E-learning frees students from restriction time, although they are still largely constrained by space nearest wired...
COVID-19 vaccination in healthcare workers (HCW) is essential for improved patient safety and resilience of health systems. Despite growing body literature on the perceptions COVID vaccines HCWs, existing studies tend to focus reasons 'refusing' vaccines, using surveys almost exclusively. To gain a more nuanced understanding, we explored multifactorial influences underpinning decision suggestions support improve vaccine uptake among HCWs early phase rollout. Semi-structured interviews were...
Objectives This study aims to examine the impact of COVID-19 measures on wellbeing and self-management in medically vulnerable non-COVID patients their views novel modalities care Singapore. Methods Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), respiratory disease, chronic kidney diabetes cancer were recruited from SingHealth cluster national cohort older adults. Data demographics, conditions perceived collected using questionnaire. We performed multivariable regression factors associated...
Early detection of undiagnosed diabetes, hypertension or hyperlipidemia through screening could reduce healthcare costs resulting from disease complications. To date, despite ample research on the factors linked to uptake community health programs, little attention has been directed at delayed incomplete follow-up after positive outcomes are identified in tests. This study aimed investigate socioeconomic and behavioral that influence non-compliance with recommendations for primary care...
Abstract Objective: This study aimed to explore how deployed healthcare workers (HCWs) perceived personal preparedness for response, and their main avenues coping maintain resilience during the prolonged COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 HCWs frontline an extended period provide acute related care. Interviews audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, analyzed thematically. Results: demonstrated heightened self-confidence readiness deal...
