Cross-border messaging is important for globally integrated teams as communication methods have changed and employee expectations have evolved. Standardization versus localization is not a dichotomy, and degrees of both are needed. Proprietary research on global consumer segments showed differences in national versus global identity that inform appropriate web and app localization strategies between countries. Cultural theory models like Hofstede and Trompenaars provide guidance on country differences to respectfully adapt communications to each location.
The document discusses the potential of an intelligent, manageable and adaptive personal health (pHealth) platform. It notes that chronic diseases affect 60% of adults and pHealth platforms could help manage chronic care through personalized agendas, reminders, vital sign monitoring and more. It also discusses challenges around data management, privacy and ensuring platforms are easy for users and healthcare providers. The document emphasizes that data management is key but not the end goal, and that pHealth will be important for improving healthcare quality through closed-loop, evidence-based and personalized care enabled by new technologies.
Presentation carried out in Rome the 26th January, 2011 during HEALTHINF-BIOSTEC 2011 about CONTINUOUS CLINICAL PATHWAYS EVALUATION BY USING AUTOMATIC LEARNING ALGORITHMS
Authors: Carlos Fernández-Llatas, Teresa Meneu, Jose Miguel Benedí and Vicente Traver
Vicente Traver is the general manager of ITACA-TSB, a research group within the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia focused on technologies for health and wellbeing. The group has 30 people working on EU and national research projects involving e-health and e-inclusion using technologies like wireless communication, knowledge management, and ambient intelligence. Vicente Traver is in Tromso, Norway from June to September to learn about their telemedicine model, analyze communication networks and standards, and conduct research on personal health and health 2.0 technologies.
The document describes an ontology for modeling interactions in ambient assisted living environments. It discusses the VAALID project which aims to create an open model defining users, environments, and their interactions. It outlines the user model which is based on ICF descriptors, and presents an interaction model based on common accessibility profiles that describes the capabilities of users, devices, and environments. It provides an example of modeling a specific user, Johann, based on their abilities and capabilities.

Vicente Traver seeks to raise awareness of chronic disease management, rising healthcare costs, and the need for a new paradigm centered around patient empowerment through information and communication technologies. The presentation discusses using ICT like personal health systems to shift from a provider-centered model to one where engaged patients better manage their own care at different levels from basic self-care to complex case management. It also touches on technologies, best practices, disruptive innovation, recommendations from WHO, and ethical considerations regarding privacy and data protection with the use of social networks and mobile health.
This document discusses a project called eMOTIVA that aims to use monitoring technologies and personalized motivation games to help manage dementia. The project seeks to detect behavior patterns in dementia patients using sensors to monitor them. It then provides personalized games and stimuli to motivate patients and help slow the progression of their cognitive decline. Researchers have installed sensors in a nursing home and are testing serious games with patients. Preliminary results found the games promoted cognitive processes and emotions. The system aims to facilitate early detection of dementia and help alleviate the degenerative process through personalized human behavior modeling and monitoring tools.

The annual report summarizes the activities of the ITACA-TSB group in 2010. Some key points:
1) ITACA-TSB worked to structure tasks around values of innovation, value and commitment to their environment during a period of global economic crisis.
2) Activities continued to grow and the group received awards including the Health 2000 Technological Contribution Prize.
3) ITACA-TSB has 56 staff working on 26 national and European projects, with a business volume of 2.6 million euros. Their work focuses on research, development and technology transfer in ICT for health and wellbeing.
Presentation done by Vicente Traver - from ITACA-SABIEN at PAHCE congress in Madrid, 8th April 2016 about how Process Mining and Interactive Pattern Recogniton can be used for enhancing medical evidence discovery during an special session coordinated by the LINK consortium.
Presentation carried out during the EMBC'16 conference in Orlando the 17th of August by Paulo Carvalho and Vicente Traver introducing the LINK project and the results of the first iteration with experts about the future opportunities and challenges for research on personalised health care for cardiovascular disease management.
This study aimed to improve digital health literacy among citizens. Researchers conducted an online course on social media in healthcare with over 1,500 active learners. A survey with 10 questions on finding and judging online health information was administered, with 20% responding. Results showed it was easier for participants to find information but more difficult to judge quality and reliability. Health literacy was largely ignored and needs more educational efforts. General practitioners and quality stamps can help consumers evaluate online health information.
