It developed three main applications: a virtual trainer for home rehabilitation exercises providing audio feedback, a smart monitor for tracking daily mobility, and a remote assistant for detecting falls and alerting caregivers. An initial clinical trial with 18 older adults found the system feasible and that it increased adherence to exercises, awareness, and reduced falls. However, further validation is still needed including improved methods for simulating falls versus detecting real falls.
WHITE PAPER: How safe is your quantified self? from the Symantec Security Res...Symantec
Fueled by technological advances and social factors, the quantified self movement has experienced rapid growth. Quantified self, also known as self-tracking, aims to improve lifestyle and achievements by measuring and analyzing key performance data across a range of activities.
Symantec has found security risks in a large number of self tracking devices and applications. One of the most significant findings was that all of the wearable activity-tracking devices examined, including those from leading brands, are vulnerable to location tracking.
Our researchers built a number of scanning devices using Raspberry Pi mini computers and, by taking them out to athletic events and busy public spaces, found that it was possible to track individuals.
Symantec also found vulnerabilities in how personal data is stored and managed, such as passwords being transmitted in clear text and poor session management. As we collect, store, and share more data about ourselves, do we ever pause to consider the risks and implications of sharing this additional data?
This document discusses different types of sensors that can be used for wearable computing applications. It describes sensors for measuring physical context like location, activity, and environment as well as internal states like emotions and cognition. Both software sensors from data on devices and hardware sensors are covered. Specific sensor technologies discussed include accelerometers, gyroscopes, inertial measurement units, GPS, radio fingerprints, capacitive sensing, electrooculography, and skin conductance sensors. Examples are given of how sensor data can be fused and analyzed to infer higher level context and activities. Challenges of using sensors on the body are also addressed.

Military Caregiving: Assistive Technology Devicesmilfamln
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO ASK
From wheelchairs to hearing aids, memory supports to speech devices, assistive technology (AT) solutions have long been a staple for supporting the functioning of individuals with disabilities, especially wounded service members. However, there can be barriers to successful implementation of an assistive technology solution. Research has shown that the most important way to reduce this non-use or abandonment rate is to know how to find the available AT resources, involve the service member in selecting the AT, and to use a systematic process for assessing both the warrior’s needs and preferences. The most effective support may be personal assistance, strategies, or technologies—most commonly, a combination of these.
This webinar will present ways to be informed of the variety of available AT and the use of a systematic process to match the service member with the most appropriate solution for his or her enhanced functioning and well-being.

This webinar will demonstrate two mobile applications produced by the National Center for Telehealth & Technology that offer providers evidence-informed tools for the treatment and engagement in clinical care of patients with mTBI.
Recent advances in the evidence base for technology-based behavioral health applications have provided clinicians a better understanding and guidance on the integration of these tools into clinical care. Participants will learn about research findings on current technologies in use in clinical practice, such as audio conferencing, video conferencing, and virtual reality, in addition to tools available for use between patients, such as the use of websites and mobile applications and wearable sensors.
This webinar is designed to inform providers as to how mobile applications like Virtual Hope Box can empower and engage patients in their own care. Clinicians will learn how to integrate the Virtual Hope Box app into their clinical practice supporting the mental health of military service members and their families.
The "Hope Box" is a tool used to support patients who feel hopeless and may be considering suicide or self-harm. Therapists suggest that their patients fill a shoe box (or other container) with items that remind them of why their life is worth living, such as supportive letters from loved ones, their favorite music CDs, photos, reminders of their accomplishments, or a list of things they want to do.
However, since such a box is awkward to carry, it may not always be handy when a patient needs it most. Using the principles of the original hope box, a smartphone app was created called the “Virtual Hope Box” (VHB). As with its namesake, patients choose items, but the “container” is more portable and more private—and it’s always with them. Patients can also add more-accessible types of content like music files and video files.
The document discusses how health occurs in the "white space", which is the time spent outside of direct healthcare interactions that account for only 100 minutes per year. It argues that this white space, consisting of daily activities like sleep, work, and leisure, is where health is truly built. New technologies could be leveraged to enhance health in the white space through approaches like online education, mobile tracking apps, and skill-building tools to empower patients. The goal is not to replace healthcare but to augment it by lowering barriers and keeping patients engaged between visits.
The AfterDeployment.org Community of Practice (AD COP) is a group of clinicians actively using content from AfterDeployment.org in their behavioral health practice supporting service members, veterans, and military families.
This edition of the AD COP introduces the AfterDeployment.org Provider Manual, discusses the use of AfterDeployment.org in a VA primary care treatment setting, and introduces the new AD COP online LinkedIn group.
The document summarizes an in-home telehealth study for depression that aims to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of telemental healthcare as a standard of care for the Department of Defense. It will utilize MOVI software to deliver an 8-session behavioral activation treatment for depression to eligible active duty service members via in-home videoconferencing. Participants will complete eligibility screening, mid-treatment and end-of-treatment interviews, as well as a 3-month follow-up interview as part of the procedures to evaluate the program.
Technology offers great potential in developing new models of care for behavioral health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This presentation covers some of the advances in Web applications, mobile applications, and virtual reality made by the National Center for Telehealth & Technology in support of PTSD in military service members and veterans.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

5. Mobile Health
• A mobile app is a type of application software
designed to run on a mobile device, such as a
smartphone or tablet computer.
• A mobile device is a portable computing device
such as a phone or tablet, typically having a
display screen with touch interface and/or a
miniature keyboard.
• The MHS Mobile Application Framework defines
mobile health as the use of mobile devices to
deliver health care services wirelessly.
6. Mobile Operating Systems

7. Mobile Applications
• In 2009, the University of Pennsylvania‟s Wharton
School named the biggest “life changers” of the past 30
years. They cited, in rank order, the Internet, broadband;
PC and laptop; mobile phones; email; and DNA testing
and sequencing. Today, approximately 40 years after Dr.
Martin Cooper conceived the first portable cellular
phone, a typical smart phone can do all the above, with
(at this writing) DNA sequencing being the possible
exception.
