Background: Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the main components Cannabis sativa and has anxiolytic properties, but no study been conducted to evaluate effects CBD on anxiety signs symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This aimed impacts acute administration at a dose 300 mg measures tremors induced by Simulated Public Speaking Test (SPST) individuals PD. Methods: A randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial was conducted. total 24 PD were included...
Devices and sensors for identification of fallers can be used to implement actions prevent falls allow the elderly live an independent life while reducing long-term care costs. In this study we aimed investigate accuracy Timed Up Go test, fallers' identification, using fusion features extracted from accelerometer data. Single dual tasks TUG (manual cognitive) were performed by a final sample (94% power) 36 community dwelling healthy older persons (18 paired with 18 non-fallers) they wear...
Introduction: Many adults do not reach the recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines, which can lead to serious health problems. A promising method increase PA is use of smartphone applications. However, despite development and evaluation multiple apps, it remains unclear how develop design engaging effective apps. Furthermore, little known on ways harness potential artificial intelligence for developing personalized In this paper, we describe Playful data-driven Active Urban Living...
OBJECTIVE : To compare the reliability and convergent validity of instruments assessing quality life in Brazilian older adults. METHODS Cross-sectional study 278 literate, community-dwelling adults attending a municipal university for elderly Sao Carlos, SP, Southeastern Brazil between 2006 2008. The versions SF-36 WHOQOL-BREF to assess were compared. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used estimate Pearson’s correlation comparison two scales. RESULTS Most participants women (87.8%) with mean...
The sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design allows for changes in the intervention during period. Despite its potential and feasibility defining best sequence of interventions, so far, it has not been utilized a smartphone/gamified physical activity.We aimed to investigate SMART assessing effects smartphone app improve activity adults. We also describe participants' perception regarding protocol use qualitatively.We conducted 24-week/two-stage which 18 insufficiently...
Despite physical activity being one of the determinants healthy aging, older people tend to become less active over years. Maintaining levels during life course is a motivational challenge. Digital tools have been used change this pattern, such as smartphone applications support activity; but there lack in-depth research on diversity user's experiences, especially considering users or non-users information and communication technologies.Our goal was identify requirements for designing mobile...
Despite potential for preventing social isolation and loneliness, providing health care access other benefits, older persons tend to be less receptive digital devices. Elderly people frequently appoint complex interface perceived usefulness as cause not using health-related ICT. There is little information about preferences interests of this specific population tailored customized technology, but according the current literature; users caregivers both think that accessible interactive design...
ABSTRACT Objective: Assess the effect of a Health Education (HE) program on cognition, mood and functional capacity participants in University The Third Age (U3A). Method: Controlled clinical trial. HE Program consisted 10 sessions with group dynamics, including orientations disease prevention cognitive stimulation exercises, lasting four months. Intervention Group (IG) n=13; Control (CG) n=15. All were assessed at start end study, using Addenbrook´s Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R),...
Population ageing represents an opportunity and a challenge for Gerontechnology innovation. The usability should be considered in the design of applications on mobile devices older users because as we age, cognitive functions begin to decline people may have more difficulty cope with managing eventfully daily routine, even those experiencing healthy process. Thus, opportunities that brought by use smartphones solutions difficulties are still demand. Therefore, co-design focus preferences...
Background: Dementia has become a major public health issue due to its high prevalence and serious consequences.In this context, the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) could provide support for communication between people living with dementia their formal informal caregivers, both locally remotely.More specifically, multimedia in form digital story narratives might improve such care networks through richer forms expression life experiences activities.Objective: To explore...
