Virtual reality (VR) has several applications in the medical domain and also generates a secure environment to carry out activities. Evaluation of effectiveness VR among older populations revealed positive effects as tool reduce risks falls improve social emotional well-being adults. The decline physical mental health, loss functional capabilities, weakening ties represent obstacles towards active aging adults indicate need for support. Existing research focused on populations, its uses...
Most of the communicable diseases have contact, airborne and/or droplet mode transsmission. Following outbreak COVID-19, Taiwan government implemented use masks and sanitizer, as well other preventive measures like social distancing for prevention. This public response likely contributed significantly to decline in infectious diseases.
Mobile apps have a great potential to support patients in healthcare, and encourage healthy behavioral changes such as smoking cessation. Nevertheless, the user rejection levels are still high. A set of factors that has impact on app effectiveness is related quality those features lead positive experiences when using app. This work aims evaluate experience, more specifically usability satisfaction with mobile application for will also provide basis future improvements.We provided cessation...
Recommender systems are gaining traction in healthcare because they can tailor recommendations based on users' feedback concerning their appreciation of previous health-related messages. However, recommender often not grounded behavioral change theories, which may further increase the effectiveness recommendations. This paper's objective is to describe principles for designing and developing a health system I-Change model that shall be implemented through mobile app smoking cessation support...
Lung cancer is the most lethal type in Taiwan and worldwide. Early detection treatment advancements have improved survival. However, small peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPN) biopsy often challenging, relying solely on bronchoscopy with radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). Augmented fluoroscopy overlays intra-procedural cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images enabling real-time three-dimensional localization during bronchoscopic transbronchial biopsy. The hybrid operating room (HOR),...
Non-contact sensors are gaining popularity in clinical settings to monitor the vital parameters of patients. In this study, we used a non-contact sensor device like heart rate, respiration and rate variability hemodialysis (HD) patients for period 23 weeks during their HD sessions. During these weeks, total number 3237 sessions were observed. Out 109 enrolled 78 reported events such as muscle spasms, inpatient stays, emergency visits or even death study period. We analyzed data two groups...
Survival prediction is highly valued in end-of-life care clinical practice, and patient performance status evaluation stands as a predominant component survival prognostication. While current tools are limited to their subjective nature, the advent of wearable technology enables continual recordings patients' activity has potential measure objectively. We hypothesize that wristband actigraphy monitoring devices can predict in-hospital death end-stage cancer patients during time hospital...
Background Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a rare disorder characterized by inadequate secretion of growth (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. One challenges in optimizing GH therapy improving adherence. Using digital interventions may overcome barriers to optimum treatment delivery. Massive open online courses (MOOCs), first introduced 2008, are made available over internet without charge large number people. Here, we describe MOOC aiming improve health literacy among healthcare...
Smoking cessation is the most common preventative for an array of diseases, including lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although there are many efforts advocating smoking cessation, still highly prevalent. For instance, in USA 2015, 50% all smokers attempted to quit smoking, only 5–7% them succeeded – with slight deviation depending on external assistance. Previous studies show that computer-tailored messages which support abstinence effective. The combination health...
Scientific and clinical research have advanced the ability of healthcare professionals to more precisely define diseases classify patients into different groups based on their likelihood responding a given treatment, future risks. However, significant gap remains between delivery stratified personalization. The latter implies solutions that seek treat each citizen as truly unique individual, opposed member group with whom they share common risks or health-related characteristics....
Different approaches are required in treating patients with multiple pulmonary lesions. A multistage procedure may increase the risk of complications and patient discomfort. This study reports an initial experience single-stage management lung lesions using percutaneous ablation thoracoscopic resection a hybrid operating room (HOR).

Background: Health recommender systems (HRSs) are intelligent that can be used to tailor digital health interventions. We compared two HRSs assess their impact providing smoking cessation support messages. Methods: Smokers who downloaded a mobile app abstinence were randomly assigned They received personalized, ratable motivational messages on the app. The first intervention had knowledge-based HRS (n = 181): it selected random from subset matching users’ demographics and habits. second...
Introduction: Owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, digitalization is booming in all sectors, including health care. This study provides evidence of using a social networking mobile app as telemedicine tool during pandemic India. Methods: The data include conversations 318 COVID-19 patients who were consulted over WhatsApp period March 31 April 16, 2021, and monitored quarantine 17 days. Results: In total, 2,089 consultations made by these period. Diagnostic reports...
Epidemiological surveillance is an essential component of public health practice especially during infectious disease outbreaks. It critical to offer transparent epidemiological information in a rigorous manner at different regional levels countries for managing the outbreak situations. The objectives this research are better understand flow COVID-19 monitoring systems and determine data gaps incidence national provincial Indonesia. was researched using government websites various levels.
