The document introduces CARA, a comprehensive home health monitoring system that uses biometric sensors, artificial intelligence, and connectivity to improve physician-patient relationships for those with chronic conditions. The CARA system includes a base station, wearable device, and mobile app to continuously monitor vital signs, track medication adherence, and provide reminders and encouragement to both patients and physicians. By automating data collection and communication, CARA aims to make managing chronic illness more convenient and effective.
A person becomes a medical practitioner by reading books, a bit of practice, learning from other practitioners. AI could do much better by combining various fields, data accrued from ages of practice and knowledge. With so many gadgets to acquire body function statuses, it should be possible to have ones own personal physician, not relying on pharmaceuticals but rather buried knowledge and available natural resources. A healthy society in the making not having to spend a huge sum for medical expenses
The document discusses cooperation and collaboration challenges facing Newham's voluntary sector. A survey found that people are more willing to collaborate on issues they care about, and cooperation provides a stronger voice. While experience with networks is positive, obstacles to collaboration include lack of time and flexible meetings. Recommendations include that the NVSC facilitate networks to address needs, share information, and learn from each other. The NVSC could also take a role as coordinator and advocate to strengthen the sector's voice.
Community Links latest research publications set out the impact of Coalition Government welfare Reform on the communities of east London. Research findings warn that the Government’s welfare reforms are likely to lead to considerable costs by wasting money in reacting to, rather than preventing, crisis. The reforms are failing claimants by pushing people towards a cliff edge.A second report "secure And Ready" identifies how a social security system tha prevented problems rather than coped with crisis could save money.
Child Poverty Action Group presentation to LESPN 19 March 2013lvscsteve
This document discusses child poverty in London and its relationship to parental employment. It finds that 37% of children in London live in poverty, largely due to low parental employment rates compared to other parts of the country. This is driven by a lack of affordable childcare and part-time jobs in London. The document recommends actions that local and regional governments could take to increase parental employment, such as prioritizing parents in job training programs, creating part-time job pledges for employers, and improving access to affordable childcare and transportation.
The North Huyton NDC Sports Development Project coordinates several programs to promote health, education, community safety, and economic development through sport. It operates in 10 primary schools and 2 secondary schools in the area, employing a project coordinator, football development officers, community coaches, sports apprentices, and volunteers. The vision is to make North Huyton an active and successful community by linking sport programs to broader regeneration efforts and school initiatives.

This document discusses evolving telecare services from traditional fixed-line systems to integrated mobile telehealthcare solutions. It outlines how standard telecare uses devices like fall detectors and pull cords (1), but mobile solutions allow remote monitoring via smartphones (2). This allows a strategic shift toward combining chronic disease support with telecare into telehealthcare (3). The integration of mobile technologies enables features like medication reminders, vital sign monitoring, personalized health notifications and social support on smartphones (4).
Digital healthcare will shape future care delivery by allowing care to occur outside hospitals through technologies that support remote care, self-management, and virtual interactions. This will lead to more integrated community and home-based care for long-term conditions. Hospitals will focus on more specialized services as routine care shifts elsewhere. Digital tools will empower patients through access to data and remote monitoring, while new types of community health hubs and an expanded workforce help support decentralized care models. However, ensuring equity, safety, and user acceptability of these new approaches will be important to avoid potential drawbacks.

For anyone involved in helping seniors maintain independent living (friends, family and professionals). This presentation details the benefits of using the Personal Response Medical Emergency System offered by Bay Alarm Medical. I service Santa Clara County, CA and will be happy to personally answer any questions.
Telehealth allows patients to receive care from providers remotely through online video chat, phone calls, secure messaging. Telediagnosis enables specialists to diagnose patients in rural areas based on transmitted health information and test results. Intercom systems, public address systems, and piped music are used in hospitals for communication and to reduce patient anxiety. Security systems like CCTV surveillance monitor daily operations and activities to enhance safety. Fire alarms, medical gas alarms, blood bank alarms, and other emergency alarms help alert staff to issues and emergencies in hospitals.
EMRAN Seminar June 2015 - Technology and AgeingCCraig138
Technology has the potential to both help and hinder older adults.
The document discusses how technology could monitor health and enable independence but may also isolate users and be difficult to learn. Both the benefits and challenges of assistive technology are described through several patient examples. Experts discuss fall detection methods using video cameras and wearable sensors, and suggest wearable textiles may be more comfortable and discreet. The goal is to help older adults safely remain active and engaged through innovative applications of technology.
"Home healthcare needs tools & protocols to support a higher degree of post-acute care in the home
* Clinical supervisors complete the assessment in their EHR while video conferencing with the client/patient"
This document discusses the interaction between patients and medical technology in hospital settings. It notes that formal admission exposes patients to many forms of advanced medical equipment used for scans, tests, and treatment. While beneficial, technology can also increase social distance between patients and medical staff. The nurse's role is to humanize interactions and preserve patient dignity. Barcode technology is highlighted as a way to reduce human error and improve safety, efficiency, and record accuracy. The document also examines stress faced by nurses and issues surrounding different nursing roles and environments.
1) Technologies like remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and smart home devices can help the elderly age in place preventively or supportively.
2) Technologies reduce reliance on healthcare workers by empowering patients and families through monitoring and early intervention.
3) Continuous remote patient monitoring platforms, mobile health records, telehealth, and smart home technologies improve care and reduce costs.
Didier Delfort, Global Vice President & General Manager, GE Healthcare, was the guest speaker at the first ever Health Tuesday, organised by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra.
Telemonitoring involves the ongoing remote monitoring of a patient's condition through sensors that detect physiological indicators and wirelessly transmit data to healthcare providers. It allows for the remote assessment of conditions like heart failure without in-person visits. The document discusses different types of telehealth including telemedicine, which provides clinical care via telecommunications, and telemonitoring, which passively monitors health indicators. Telemonitoring has been used with older adults and can benefit access to care, but faces challenges with technology, privacy concerns, and replacing in-person interactions. Research shows telemonitoring may reduce mortality and hospital readmissions for heart failure patients.
The document discusses how telehealthcare solutions can support extra care housing and help vulnerable people live independently. It provides examples of how telecare and telehealth monitoring have helped individuals with dementia, disabilities, and medical conditions stay safely in their own homes. Telehealthcare solutions provide alerts to monitoring centers in emergency situations and allow clinicians to track health data, reducing hospital visits and improving quality of life for patients and their caregivers. Research from the Whole System Demonstrator program found telehealth led to reductions in A&E visits, admissions, bed days, and mortality rates.
The document discusses various topics related to the interaction between patients and medical technology in a hospital setting. It addresses how medical technology has advanced hospital care but can also distance medical staff from patients. It emphasizes the importance of humanizing patient care even in a technologically advanced environment. The document also discusses barcode technology and how it can improve patient safety by reducing human error in areas like medication management and record keeping. Finally, it covers several aspects of nursing care as an art including touch, communication, and creating a pleasant healing environment for patients.
The document summarizes an assisted living technology workshop presented by Tahir Idris and Steve Bonner. It discusses various types of assistive technologies including aids for daily living, physical adaptations, telecare/social alarms, telehealth/telemedicine, lifestyle monitoring, communication aids, and technologies to aid safe walking and support those with dementia. The workshop covers both active assistive technologies that require user participation and passive technologies that operate automatically. It emphasizes that assistive technologies should empower independent living without undue intrusion and discusses ethics around technology use.
This document summarizes an e-health platform called uCarenet that provides several tools to help manage home and palliative care. It describes a mobile app called uCareRELIEF that allows patients to self-report symptoms from home and clinicians to monitor them remotely. A pilot study found high rates of patient engagement and self-reporting through uCareRELIEF reduced emergency visits. The document outlines other uCarenet tools like a home care management platform, translation app called uCareLINGO, and their goals to improve care coordination and access through digital technologies.

Let's get digital
What happens when forty researchers, patients, entrepreneurs and health and social care staff come together to discuss digital technologies and their impact on NHS sustainability and transformation?
That was the experiment at the University of Southampton' s Web Sciences Institute on 16 January, at a workshop sponsored by the Institute, the CLAHRC and Wessex AHSN.
And the result?
A highly energetic and constructive exchange of views from the diverse stakeholders in the room.
The take away messages:
1. The NHS has to embrace digital technologies to survive but precisely how it embraces these is critical;
2. successful adoption of digital technologies needs to take account of:
• the political imperative of developing a compact between public services, service providers and citizens about how their data may be used;
• the social processes involved in patient and workforce adaption to technologies and the substantial research base that already exists in this field *the technical challenges involved in ensuring that a proliferation of health data and digital devices develops in a way that supports integrated, patient-centred care rather than promoting fragmented data and digital silos;
• developing the capacity to adapt to and exploit fundamentally disruptive innovation from within the NHS and from SMEs many of which have their origins in academic research or front-line clinical practice
Next steps?
How might we maintain and develop the coalition of interests that met in the workshop to underpin a research-driven, innovation-friendly digital technologies implementation plan for the NHS in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Watch this space.
1. The document discusses adopting technology-enabled care services to improve delivery of care for people with long-term conditions (LTCs).
2. It emphasizes establishing partnerships between various healthcare organizations and sectors, as well as patients and industry, to effectively implement new digital technologies.
3. Key themes that could help drive local digital roadmaps are also outlined, such as improving infrastructure, rolling out national health systems, enhancing information sharing, and ensuring technology is user-focused for both professionals and patients.
This document discusses several systems that have been developed to support a sustainable health system, including:
1) HealthPathways, which provides localized health information to support primary care and efficient referrals.
2) HealthInfo, which provides health information to patients.
3) The Electronic Referrals Management System (ERMS), a clinical communication tool used across different health services to facilitate referrals.
4) Systems that have enabled general practitioners to access patient health records digitally through single sign-on. Over 5,500 GPs had accessed records through this system as of March 2013.

This document discusses using maps, apps, and storytelling to address social isolation in the digital age at both the local and national levels. It proposes developing a local "Living Labs kit" for co-designing solutions and a national learning network to share knowledge. Maps can show who has resources, how social networks change with age, and how people can connect to community assets. The document outlines piloting these approaches in Croydon and designing an open-source kit for other areas. It also suggests AAA take the lead in promoting cross-topic collaboration and innovation to benefit all areas of aging through an asset map, learning network, and experimenting with new methods.

This document proposes the concept of "SKILLxShops" as an alternative way to help unemployed people find work. SKILLxShops would be shared workspaces where people with similar skills and interests could collaborate, demonstrate their abilities to potential employers, and create new types of jobs and businesses together. Empty shops in city centers could be used as SKILLxShops, bringing business creation back into core urban areas. The concept is intended to empower people by valuing their existing skills rather than trying to fit them into predefined jobs.
Skil lx share from Alastair SomervilleDavid Wilcox
The document discusses SKILLxShare, a platform that aims to help "pre-entrepreneurs" find partnerships to create new jobs by sharing their skills and interests locally. It does this by having users complete a survey on their key skills and interests, which are then formatted into a pie chart "Pie". Users can customize their Pie into a "Swirl" badge to represent themselves on the app and online. The platform maps users to help them find others with complementary skills near them to start conversations about collaborating to generate self-employment opportunities.
Strengthening Civil Society Through Social Media: with notesDavid Wilcox
Presentation for 21st century network, February 28 2012. With notes
At times of financial restraint and when Governments are looking at how civil society can be recruited to deliver on their own agenda then how can we ensure that the many associations that make up civil society can protect their independence. Can social networking help create a network of mutual independence that strengthens the countless groups that are the social glue of our civil society?

Localism regional studies presentation by James DerounianDavid Wilcox
The document discusses the "Big Society" initiative proposed by UK Prime Minister David Cameron to encourage communities to help themselves through greater local involvement and control. It outlines some key aspects of the proposed Localism Act, including new community rights over local services, development projects, and assets. However, it notes that major public spending cuts may undermine these aims by reducing resources for communities and local councils. Surveys suggest many people feel the cuts prevent communities from achieving self-sufficiency as envisioned by the Big Society.
This document provides a framework for thinking about collaboration spaces, both online and in-person, to promote social innovation. It outlines the complex landscape including new policies, networks, technology, and roles. The framework focuses on defining goals, engaging relevant people, choosing appropriate methods, and establishing structures to support solutions. Collaboration spaces can enable connecting different domains, developing new skills and attitudes, and blending online and offline work. Networks are increasingly important as they help define contexts and provide structures for action.

The document discusses enabling lifelong smoke-free lives in Walkden by learning from successful strategies and experiences. It prompts attendees to discuss common themes in stories they've heard, how a local program called Winning Ways in Walkden has helped people stay nonsmokers, and lessons learned. Attendees then introduce themselves, identify similarities and differences from group discussions, and agree on five winning ways for lifelong nonsmokers in Walkden. They imagine a future Walkden where staying nonsmoking is easy and develop an advertisement highlighting keys to that community's success. Finally, they consider actions that could help more Walkden residents adopt strategies for remaining nonsmokers.
Prime Thinkers is a group of retired and soon retired business people from a range of different sectors, who are ready to pass on their many years of experience to assist any company, organisation, or individual who have a problem they wish to air, a new concept they would like to develop or a new direction they would like views upon.

It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
