This work describes the design and preliminary evaluation of mLabour, a mobile application that aims to reduce death injury in childbirth. mLabour incorporates digital partograph workflows support labor ward management. reduces some barriers prevent partograph, paper tool has been shown improve outcomes, from being fully utilized. We discuss tradeoffs made during implementation, largely driven by prototype testing with nurses. then results study application's usage, which suggests promise as...
The World Health Organization advocates the paper partograph as single most effective tool for monitoring labor and reducing complications in developing countries. Used correctly, can serve a early detection of serious maternal fetal during labor, allowing sufficient time an appropriate response. However, order to be effective, must used correctly. Recent studies Kenya reported that less than one fourth partographs were completed accordance with WHO guidelines. In countries, lack training...
Background Lower limb loss (LLL) is a distressing experience with psychological, physical, and social challenges. Education needed to enhance the coping skills confidence of patients improve LLL outcomes. However, access rehabilitation services education limited outside urban centers. To address this service gap, we co-created an eHealth platform, called S elf- M anagement for A mputee R ehabilitation using T echnology (SMART). Objectives First, will test effect SMART usual care compared...
Paper-based systems for monitoring maternal labor have been shown to reduce life-threatening complications in low-resource environments; however, significant barriers exist the use of these tools developing countries. This paper presents PartoPen - a digital pen system that enhances common labormonitoring form known as partograph. The provides real-time data feedback and reinforces birth attendant training, while retaining paper-and-pen interface currently used by most healthcare workers. In...
This paper presents the findings from two studies of PartoPen system – a digital pen software application that enhances partograph, paper-based labor-monitoring tool used extensively in developing regions. The provides nurses with real-time decision support, instructions, and patientspecific reminders by playing short audio clips when nurse records data on existing partograph form. Previous have shown correct use significantly reduces pregnancy complications; however, is not always reliably...
This paper critically examines the use of digital pen technology at two key points in healthcare system Kenya: nursing student training and patient care public labor wards. The PartoPen -- a software designed to enhance monitoring tool known as partograph was evaluated with 95 students University Nairobi (UoN), 50 nurses ward Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). Students using had significantly higher scores on worksheets than silent PartoPen, especially challenging high-risk cases difficult...
Existing paper-based systems for monitoring maternal labor have been shown to reduce life-threatening complications in low-resource environments; however, significant barriers exist their use developing countries. In this paper I describe a system that enhances common labor-monitoring form, the partograph, using digital pen. The partograph provides real-time data feedback and reinforces birth attendant training, while retaining paper-and-pen interface currently used by most healthcare...
Past research has shown the benefits of increased engagement and collaboration for learning using multiple inputs children sharing computers. Taking work forth beyond clicks, we demonstrate use inexpensive numeric keypads as input devices in shared computing scenarios, many have argued are well-suited to developing world, show its utility mathematical young children.
Background Compared to other patient population groups, the field of amputation research in Canada lacks cohesion largely due limited funding sources, lack connection among scientists, and loose ties geographically dispersed healthcare centres, institutes advocacy groups. As a result, advances clinical care are hampered ultimately negatively influence outcomes persons living with limb loss.Objective To stimulate national strategy on advancing Canada, consensus-workshop was organized an...
The goal of the PartoPen system is to enhance partograph, a paper-based labor monitoring tool intended promote timely delivery quality care by birth attendants in developing countries. digital pen hardware and software supports partograph use providing audio instructions for measuring recording progress indicators, real-time decision support based on recorded measurements, time-based patient-specific reminders taking measurements. Earlier work found effective nursing classrooms at University...
Background: Individuals with lower limb loss (LLL) require self-management education for amputation adaptation. eHealth technologies, like online platforms, widen access to educational resources. We developed an program individuals LLL called Self-Management Amputee Rehabilitation using Technology (SMART). Objective: To assess the feasibility of SMART improving walking capacity and confidence adults recent LLL. Study Design: A single-group pre-post intervention design. Methods: recruited...
The clinical landscape of limb loss rehabilitation across Canada is poorly delineated, lacks standard guidelines, and without a shared database.
Abstract Inworks is a new initiative of the University Colorado Denver and Anschutz Medical Campus that draws together faculty, staff students from across two campuses, as well entrepreneurs leaders industry, government, education community to address problems importance human society. The primary purpose create innovative solutions some world’s most challenging while, in process, creating lifelong innovators. We do this by scaffolding collaborative innovation providing extensive facilities...

The agrarian crisis in India is characterized by high rates of male farmer suicides, which result numbers widowed women farmers. These face intense gender-based barriers especially surrounding economic inclusion. In this paper, we suggest the reintroduction traditional seed saving practices coupled with a radio-based education component, and call for further research addressing gaps women-specific data India.
