Design processes such as human-centered design, which involve the end user throughout product development and testing process, can be crucial in ensuring that meets needs capabilities of user, particularly terms safety experience. The structured iterative nature design often present a challenge when teams are faced with necessary, rapid, life cycles associated competitive connected health industry.
Design processes such as human-centered design (HCD), which involve the end user throughout product development and testing process, can be crucial in ensuring that meets needs capabilities of user, particularly terms safety experience. The structured iterative nature HCD often conflict with necessary rapid life-cycles associated competitive connected health industry.The aim this study was to apply a methodology smartphone app used within fall risk detection system. Our utilizes so called...
Patients with hypertension in the community frequently fail to meet treatment goals. The optimal way organize and deliver care hypertensive patients has not been clearly identified. powerful on-board computing capacity of mobile devices, along unique relationship individuals have newer technologies, suggests that they potential influence behaviour. However, little is known regarding views experiences using such technology self-manage their associated lifestyle behaviours. aim this study was...
Each year, millions of older adults fall, with more than 1 out 4 people experiencing a fall annually, thereby causing major social and economic impact. Falling once doubles one’s chances falling again, making prediction an important aspect preventative strategies. In this study, 22 aged between 65 85 years were trained in the use smartphone-based system. The system is designed to continuously assess risk by measuring various gait balance parameters using smart insole smartphone, also detect...
Abstract Background The emerging use of video in neonatology units raises ethical and practical questions. This study aims to gain a better understanding the suitability, limitations constraints concerning live as tool neonatal clinical practice. perceptions parents healthcare professionals regard were examined. Methods Nine focus groups conducted four involving 20 19 parents. Data triangulated using transcripts field notes analyzed inductive semantic thematic analysis. Results seven major...
Wearable electronics are gaining widespread use as enabling technologies, monitoring human physical activity and behavior part of connected health infrastructures. Attention to factors comfort these devices can greatly positively influence user experience, with a subsequently higher likelihood acceptance lower levels device rejection. Here, we employ assessment methodology grounded in the principles human-centered design enhance an instrumented insole. A case was developed interrogated by...
Training clinicians on the use of hospital-based patient monitoring systems (PMS) is vital to mitigate risk errors and frustration using these devices, especially when used in ICU settings. PMS training typically delivered through face-to-face sessions hospital. However, it not always feasible deliver this format all clinical staff given some constraints (e.g., availability trainers attend in-person costs associated with training). The literature indicates that E-learning has potential...
Constant monitoring of gait in real life conditions is considered the best way to assess Fall Risk Index (FRI) since most falls happen out ideal which clinicians are currently analyzing patient's behavior. This paper presents WIISEL platform and results obtained through use first full-wireless insole devices that can measure almost all related data directly on feet (not upper part body as existing wearable solutions). The consists a complete tool-chain: insoles, smartphone & app,...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The patient monitor (PM) is one of the most commonly used medical devices in hospitals worldwide. PMs are to patients’ vital signs a wide variety care settings, especially critical such as intensive units. An interesting observation that design has not significantly changed over past 2 decades, with layout and structure more or less unchanged, incremental changes being made rather than transformational changes. Thus, we believe it well-timed review novel PM...
