Abstract Background Electronic personal health records (ePHRs) play a key role in the digitalization of healthcare, but older adults, often less familiar with digital tools, face access challenges. This study assesses effects an interactive, microlearning-based e-learning platform on improving adults’ ePHR competencies. Methods To examine use competencies, pilot trial was conducted two groups. One group consisted young-old adults (YOA) aged 50 to 64 years, and other (OA) 65 years older....
Background/Objectives: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is prevalent among older adults and leads to significant functional limitations reduced quality of life. Segmental stabilization exercises (SSEs) are commonly used treat CLBP, but the selective activation deep abdominal muscles during these can be challenging for patients. To support muscle activation, physiotherapists use biofeedback methods such as palpation ultrasound imaging. This randomized controlled pilot study aimed compare...
Computerized cognitive training (cCT) is a non-invasive treatment strategy in which individuals repeatedly practice computer-based tasks targeting specific functions. While traditional face-to-face costly and accompanied by long waiting times, mobile cCT can improve the healthcare situation due to its accessibility versatility. This interim analysis of NeuroNation MED Effectiveness Study (NeNaE) explores initial effects mobile, gamified (NeuroNation MED) on psychosocial outcomes adults...
Reliable acoustic coupling in a non-handheld mode and reducing the form factor of electronics are specific challenges making ultrasound wearable. Applications relying on large field view (such as tracking muscles) induce need for element count to achieve high image quality. In our work, we developed 256-element linear array imaging abdominal muscles with four integrated custom-developed 8:32 multiplexer Integrated Circuits (ICs), allowing be driven by compact 32 ch electronics. The system is...
Abstract Since the introduction of electronic Personal Health Record (ePHR) in Germany 2021, usage rates among those with statutory health insurance have remained below 1%. The patient-administered conception ePHR presents access barriers, particularly for older adults. This study aimed to evaluate an e-learning platform as empowerment tool usage, tailored toward In this explorative study, a micro-learning-based prototype effective utilization was evaluated through both online ( n = 53) and...
Abstract Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) involves decline beyond typical age-related changes, but without significant daily activity disruption. It can encompass various domains as the causes of MCI are diverse. well frequent comorbid neuropsychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety affect individuals’ quality life. Early interventions essential, computerized training (cCT) is an established treatment method. This paper presents protocol for NeuroNation MED Effectiveness...
Restrictions in mobility can lead to social and health-related issues. Assistive technologies devices help sustain or regain affected persons. One of the most commonly used is wheelchair. Many wheelchair users experience difficulties within provision process with device itself. The presented study investigated satisfaction corresponding process.A comprehensive online survey was conducted. questionnaire surveyed quality wheelchairs among Germany. Descriptive methods were analyse results....

One possible approach to counter singularization and loneliness of older adults is the development implementation socially interactive robots. Little known about expectations experiences with humanoid
Abstract Background Electronic personal health records (ePHRs) are an important component in the increasing digitalization of healthcare. Access barriers can arise, especially for older adults, with limited experience using digital systems. The aim study was to evaluate effects interactive microlearning-based e-learning platform on adults’ competencies dealing ePHR. Methods To examine use competencies, a pilot conducted two arms. One arm consisted young-old adults (YOA) aged 50 64 years and...
Abstract Background The number of older adults in need care and living at home is increasing Europe. At the same time, professional caregivers decreasing. This development reinforces for assistive technology to support recipients their own homes promote independence. One main challenges independent preparation food. Interactive robots could assist with difficulties performing physically demanding tasks. Within project AuRorA (full German title: Wiederverwendbare, interaktive Verhalten für...
Chronic back pain has a high prevalence, especially in older adults, and seriously affects sufferers’ quality of life. Segmental stabilization exercise (SSE) is often used during physiotherapy to enhance core stability. The execution SSE requires the selective contraction deep abdominal muscles. Motor learning can be supported using ultrasound imaging as visual biofeedback. ULTRAWEAR mobile system that provides learning-based biofeedback on execution, which currently under development. We...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Neben den soziodemografischen Faktoren spielen handlungstheoretische Konstrukte wie die Technikakzeptanz oder Technikkompetenz eine wichtige Rolle bei der Techniknutzung. Ziel Arbeit Innerhalb vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, Techniknutzung mit und handlungstheoretischen Konstrukten Technikinteresse zusammenhängt. Materialien Methoden Im Zeitraum von 2014 bis 2020 wurden Daten 585 Studienteilnehmenden im Alter über 60 Jahre aus 14 Erhebungen gesammelt. Zur...

Abstract Computerized cognitive training (cCT) is recommended as standard therapy for patients with mild impairment (MCI). While traditional involves long waiting times, mobile cCT can efficiently improve the healthcare situation. This interim analysis of ongoing NeuroNation MED Effectiveness Study (NeNaE) aims to assess first effects a mobile, gamified (NeuroNation MED) in participants MCI. In intention-to-treat analysis, intervention group (IG) performed 12 weeks app, while control (CG)...
Wearable ultrasound devices can be used to continuously monitor muscle activity. One possible application is provide real-time feedback during physiotherapy, show a patient whether an exercise performed correctly. Algorithms which automatically analyze the data of importance overcome need for manual assessment and annotations speed up evaluations especially when considering video sequences. They even could present in understandable manner patients home-use scenario. The following work...
INTRODUCTION. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) involves small but noticeable declines in abilities. This study explores the effectiveness of mobile computerized training (cCT) to improve function individuals with MCI.METHODS. A 12-week cCT program (NeuroNation MED) was tested a single-blinded, multicenter randomized controlled trial. The included 288 MCI participants, global cognition measured using scores from five domains.RESULTS. Analysis Covariance showed improvements (F(1, 286) = 8.06, p...
Abstract This study aimed to examine the initial efficacy of a virtual reality (VR) exergame for blood pressure (BP), body composition, lung function, physical working capacity, and mobility in older hypertensive adults. Furthermore, objective was explore exercise intensities that can be reached during training. designed as randomized controlled pilot trial. The group (EG) completed 6-week training using VR; conventional (CTG) performed over same time period. sample included thirty-five...
