Background: Assistive technology, in the form of a smart home environment, is employed to support people with dementia. Objectives: To propose system for continuous and objective remote monitoring problematic daily living activity areas design personalized interventions based on fee dback clinical observations improving cognitive function health-related quality life. Methods: The assistive technology proposed system, including wearable, sleep, object motion, presence, utility usage sensors,...
This work introduces an ontology for incorporating Ambient Intelligence in Smart Buildings. The extends and benefits from existing ontologies the field, but also adds classes needed to sufficiently model every aspect of a service-oriented smart building system. Namely, it includes concepts modeling all functionality (i.e. services, operations, inputs, outputs, logic, parameters environmental conditions), QoS (resources, parameters), hardware (smart devices, sensors actuators, appliances,...
Stress is a common problem that affects most people with dementia and their caregivers. symptoms for are often measured by answering checklist of questions the clinical staff who work closely person dementia. This process requires lot effort continuous observation over long term. article investigates effectiveness using straightforward method, based on single wristband sensor to classify events "Stressed" "Not stressed" The presented system calculates stress level as an integer value from...
Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) impairs the ability to carry out daily activities, reduces independence and quality of life increases caregiver burden. Our understanding functional decline has traditionally relied on reports by family caregivers, which are subjective vulnerable recall bias. The Internet Things (IoT) wearable sensor technologies promise provide objective, affordable, reliable means for monitoring function. However, human factors its acceptance relatively unexplored....
Activities of daily living (ADLs) are fundamental routine tasks that the majority physically and mentally healthy people can independently execute. In this paper, we present a semantic framework for detecting problems in ADLs execution, monitored through smart home sensors. context work, conducted pilot study, gathering raw data from various sensors devices installed environment. The proposed combines multiple Semantic Web technologies (i.e., ontology, RDF, triplestore) to handle transform...
In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on the pervasive issue of medical misinformation in social networks from perspective information technology. The aims at providing systematic review related research and helping researchers practitioners navigate through fast-changing field. Research spans multiple disciplines, but technical surveys rarely focus domain. Existing provide broad insights for various stakeholders lack deep dive into computational methods. This fills that gap by...
The kidney possesses a high concentration of folate binding protein (FBP) that resides primarily in the brush-border membrane (BBM) proximal tubular cells. To assess possible involvement this renal conservation we determined urinary clearance, rats, three forms folates with sharply different affinities for FBP. After single intravenous injections 0.1 to 1.0-nmol doses radioactive clearance based on radioisotope determination was sequence: folic acid less than 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-CH3...
Accurate and objective pain evaluation is crucial in developing effective management protocols, aiming to alleviate distress prevent patients from experiencing decreased functionality. A multimodal automatic assessment framework for acute utilizing video heart rate signals introduced this study. The proposed comprises four pivotal modules: the Spatial Module , responsible extracting embeddings videos; Heart Rate Encoder tasked with mapping into a higher dimensional space; AugmNet designed...
Assessing functional decline related to activities of daily living (ADLs) is deemed significant for the early diagnosis dementia. As current assessment methods ADLs often lack ability capture subtle changes, technology-based approaches are perceived as advantageous. Specifically, digital biomarkers emerging, offering a promising avenue research, they allow unobtrusive and objective monitoring. A study was conducted with involvement 36 participants assigned three known groups (Healthy...
Interactive smart home systems are particularly useful for people with cognitive impairment.To investigate the long-term effects of Assistive Technology (AT) combined tailored non-pharmacological interventions impairment.18 participants (12 mild impairment and 6 Alzheimer's disease) took part in study that we evenly allocated one three groups: 1) experimental group (EG), 2) control 1 (CG1), 3) 2 (CG2). EG received system installed at 4 to 12 months, during which they according observations....
Brain Training games are increasingly gaining attention as a non-pharmacological intervention to promote well-being and quality of life in people living with dementia. Herein we present the COSMA software pilot study evaluate its impact on emotions spectrum The was created accordance UK National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines ‘brain-stimulating’ use by cognitive impairment i.e., mild (MCI) early aims investigate whether current game designs have an MCI emotional...
Abstract Background The national e-prescription system in Greece is one of the most important achievements e-health sector. Healthcare professionals’ feedback essential to ensure introduced tends their needs and reduces everyday workload. number surveys collecting users’ views limited, while existing studies include only a small participants. Methods In this study, healthcare perceptions on are explored. For this, questionnaire was distributed online, containing closed- open-ended questions...
This work aims to advance Web Service retrieval, also known as Matching, in two directions. First, it introduces a matching algorithm for SAWSDL, which adapts and extends concepts with novel strategies. Effective logic-based syntactic strategies are introduced combined hybrid strategy, targeting an envisioned well-defined, real-world scenario matching. The is evaluated universal environment algorithms, SME2, objective, reproducible manner. Evaluation ranks Tomaco high amongst state of the...
