Background Research on digital technology to change health behavior has increased enormously in recent decades. Due the interdisciplinary nature of this topic, knowledge and technologies from different research areas are required. Up now, it is not clear how those fields combined actual applications. A comprehensive analysis that systematically maps explores use within emerging field Objective This study aims provide an overview area around design development for explore trends patterns....
Abstract Background Smoking rates among women are currently low, but they the fastest growing segment of cigarette smoking population in developing countries. We aimed to assess knowledge and perceptions towards identify factors related with level adult urban slums. Methods This was a cross sectional study conducted on 250 (≥18 years age) attending primary care clinics three slums Karachi, Pakistan. A pre-tested structured, interviewer administered questionnaire used for data collection....
The current debate about the brain drain of health professionals from low-income countries such as Pakistan to rich world often demonizes medical graduates who choose leave their countries. Such are sometimes considered be insensitive plight country's struggling sector. But what is forgotten in this that some doctors emigrate West have every intention returning after higher-level training overseas. And while blamed for Pakistan's difficulty meeting its people's care needs, other factors play...
Secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease through dedicated stroke clinics has been shown to decrease recurrent vascular events in patients. However, there is limited literature describing such clinic experiences from low and middle income countries. This study describes patient characteristics observations made at the first systematized Pakistan.A retrospective audit medical records all patients presenting between September 2006 August 2008 with a event was conducted. Information...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with many cardiovascular and psychiatric diseases. Day-time sleepiness a common consequence of sleep apnea correlates road-traffic accidents (RTA). Pakistan has high prevalence factors which predispose an individual to OSA death from RTAs are huge burden. However there dearth studies in this regard. We aim understand local relevance the disease estimate individuals high-risk for OSA. This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 450 at Aga Khan...
Intracranial stenosis is the most common cause of stroke among Asians. It has a poor prognosis with high rate recurrence. No effective medical or surgical treatment modality been developed for due to intracranial stenosis. We aim identify risk factors and biomarkers develop techniques such as use transcranial doppler help diagnose in cost-effective manner. The Karachi Stenosis Study (KISS) prospective, observational, case-control study describe clinical features determine patients compare...
The pathway through which behavior change techniques have an effect on the of individual is referred to as Mechanism Action (MoA). Digitally enabled interventions could potentially benefit from explicitly modelling MoA achieve more effective, adaptive, and personalized interventions. For example, if ‘motivation’ proposed targeted construct in any intervention, how can a model this be used act mechanism action, mediating intervention using various techniques? This article discusses...
Pakistan has been facing an acute decline in the aquamarine population, especially fisheries, over last few years. Therefore, current study attempted to facilitate policymakers identifying and addressing fish shortage using Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL). Policymakers can achieve this objective with help of biologists experts working field AI. Presently, manual identification methods are still utilized breeding, however, aquaculture is only sector where use DL...
Agent-oriented solutions form a useful paradigm to design intelligent systems.For health-related behaviour change, this is also promising approach.Designing an agent for lifestyle change interventions difficult task because socio-ecological models are involved that represent many conflicting desires and goals.Different types of cognitive architectures available type health behavior agents but they rarely used.In paper, we used the BDI model will execute intervention better healthy...
Sedentary behavior has emerged as a serious risk factor for numerous health outcomes.However, little work been done to approach the problem through social-cognitive theories.In this study, network model proposed sedentary intervention based on Influential determinants from major socialcognitive theories i.e., theory of planned and health-belief model.Accounting these means that we are influencing with peripheral route, which included somatic markers body-feelings in model.An effective change...
