This document discusses what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in the assisted active living (AAL) marketplace. It notes that entrepreneurs recognize needs, identify solutions, exploit market opportunities through their capabilities, and sometimes change business norms through creative destruction and lateral thinking across sectors. An example is given of Cardionetics, which recognized a need for more flexible heart monitoring, developed a portable ECG monitor solution, and is now widely used in the UK. Docobo is also discussed as recognizing a need for portable web-based health monitoring.
The document discusses the company's strategy to develop a content business by leveraging its global connectivity assets and negotiating content packages that can be delivered across devices. It notes the growing demand for video consumption over the internet and the opportunity for telecom companies to provide trusted internet video services. The strategy aims to integrate content with the company's billing and CRM tools to provide linear, on-demand, and interactive content services.
This document discusses opportunities in the aging-at-home/connected health market. It notes that while technology develops globally, services are delivered locally. The market is emerging with no dominant architecture and evolving business models. Market sizes and forecasts vary significantly depending on factors like scope and country-specific healthcare changes. Successful service delivery requires both global technology partnerships and local service delivery partnerships to adapt solutions to individual country needs. Opportunities exist in developing lower-cost integrated solutions, next-generation user interfaces, and technologies that support various care levels from self-care to monitored care.
The document summarizes the 9th Annual Meeting of the International Society for HTA to be held in Bilbao, Spain in 2012.

W9 technology and the ageing society - hazel pricelgconf11
Kent has implemented telecare and telehealth programs since 2004. Over 1,100 users participated in telecare, which helped 93% feel more independent and safer at home. A telehealth pilot from 2005-2007 provided monitors to 250 older adults and found it reduced hospital visits, saved an average of £1,878 per patient over six months, and could potentially save £7,560,000-£10,942,000 annually for long term condition management in Kent. Mainstreaming assistive technologies faces challenges of making it a core service, equitable access, and changing commissioning practices to support assistive technology. The vision is for a shared 'platform' to facilitate wider use of technologies across users.
The document discusses how information technology (IT) can transform healthcare in India. It notes that the current state of IT in Indian healthcare is low, with little investment and utilization of IT to deliver quality, affordable, and accessible care. However, IT has great potential to improve healthcare as an enabler if adopted properly. Some key areas where IT could be used include increasing health awareness, overcoming infrastructure gaps through telemedicine, building health worker skills through e-learning, and managing non-communicable diseases with remote monitoring solutions. The presentation emphasizes that IT, if implemented collaboratively across various healthcare stakeholders, can help transform sick care to wellness care for the population.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
