Abstract:
Samhället vi lever i är uppbyggt av ett genussystem som baserar sig på könsnormer. Könsnormerna bygger på bland annat principen separation, som bygger på tanken att män och kvinnor utgör två separata grupper som anses ha olika könsspecifika egenskaper. Genussystemet skapar därmed en skillnad där det maskulina anses som en standard och det feminina som avvikande från denna standard. Hälsa och träning är ett bekönat område, där hälso- och träningsapplikationer ofta kodas utifrån normer om maskulinitet och femininitet. För att utmana och skapa medvetenhet om dessa könsnormer, kan kritisk design a

This thesis project reconsiders the purpose and effectiveness of public, free-to-use outdoor gyms, resulting in the Health Loop nine-station outdoor gym. The project identifies three key areas of failings in existing gyms: intimidation, lack of understanding, and lack of enjoyment.The design solution creates a gym which focuses firstly on providing a comfortable, appealing, approachable space and equipment. This is achieved through simplicity, a non-sporting atmosphere, and targeting the workout to relatively inactive people. The second key focus is on quick-to-understand, engaging, enjoyable

As mobile devices become more prevalent in healthcare scenarios, it is becoming necessary to develop infrastructure to allow these devices to securely participate in emergency healthcare response scenarios. In this work, the scenario of an emergency response team requesting access to the health care records of a patient is analyzed. As these records may not be immediately available to the requesting party, several parties may need to be contacted to ensure to validate the identity of the requester and deliver the records.

This dissertation deals with three problems in health care. In the first, we consider the incentives to change prices and capital levels at hospitals, using optimal control under the assumption that private payers charge higher prices if patients consume more hospital services. The main results are that even with fixed technology, investment and prices exhibit explosive growth, and that prices and capital stock grow in proportion to one another. In the second chapter, we study the flow of nosocomial infections in an intensive care unit. We use data from Cook County Hospital, along with numero

Researchers debate over definitions of crowdsourcing, and it is often conflated with mHealth, web 2.0, or data mining.

Abstract:
The past two decades have seen an unprecedented increase in the amount of data collected on a daily basis. While consumer-orientated internet services, such as Google and Twitter, take up a large proportion of the former, advances in mobile technology and diagnostic tools have allowed biomedical applications to reach a similar scale in variety, velocity and volume. In the past, what used to be sparse biomedical data is now complemented with feature-rich, time-dependent information. As a result, the field is forced to consider novel approaches for extracting actionable information from time-ser

Abstract:
Screening to detect diseases early is attractive as it can improve the prognosis and decrease costs, but it is often a problematic concept and there are several pitfalls. Many healthy individuals have to be investigated to avoid a disease in a few, which results in a dilemma because to save a few, many are exposed to a procedure that could potentially harm them. Other examples of problems associated with screening are latent diseases and over-treating. The question of optimal design of a screening program is another source of uncertainty for decision-makers, as a screening program may potentia

Context. One of the challenges in requirement engineering is the ability using survey as a requirement-engineering tool towards the software to refine user’s requirements. For instance, with the development of the way of healthcare, many advances in technology transformed the way of healthcare. E-health application is one of the technologies. As more and more health information that is stored electronically, e- health applications have given rise to trust issue in the area of data sharing. Identified the relationship between trust and data sharing based on the survey method is a valid approach

Abstract:
It is uncertain whether clinically useful information of otolith function can be well characterized by vestibular-evoked-myogenic-potentials (VEMPs), i.e., electromyogenic activity recorded from sternomastoid muscles in response to brief loud auditory clicks. We aimed to assess the utility of VEMP testing in the differential diagnosis of dizziness (81 dizzy patients, 12 normals). We found that: (1) VEMP was reliably elicited from all controls and from 96% of patients without loss of vestibular function; (2) in patients with documented unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders, VEMP cou
