Abstract:

<p> The healthcare application domain has potential for research in the computer science field and Android domain. The built-in sensors and interfaces for virtual reality plugged in to the Android platform makes it a viable option for developers and end users. The B-Activ Android application builds a platform, which unlike other healthcare applications, ensures that the user is provided with essential input to indulge in an active life. External factors such as climate, pollution levels in the vicinity, and the user’s Body Mass Index (BMI) affect a person’s involvement in exercise

Abstract:

The concept of cultural safety arose in Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu/New Zealand in the late 1980�s in response to the differential health experience and negative health outcomes of the first nation people of Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu/New Zealand, the New Zealand Maori. It was introduced and developed by Maori nurses initially, as they recognised the effect culture had on health and understood safety as a common nursing concept. The concept of cultural safety has developed into a disipline which is taught as part of all nursing and midwifery curricula in Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu/New Zealand. As

Abstract:

E-health is an emerging field in the intersection of information systems, healthcare and business management, referring mainly to healthcare services delivered and enhanced through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). In a broader sense, the term characterizes not only a technical development, but also a wider way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for a network to improve and connect provider, patients and governments. Such a network will be used to educate and inform healthcare professionals, managers and healthcare users; to stimulate innovation in care deliv

The collection of health data such as physical activity, consumption and physiological data through the use of consumer health wearables via fitness trackers are very beneficial for the promotion of physical wellness. However, consumer health wearables and their associated applications are known to have privacy and security concerns that can potentially make the collected personal health data vulnerable to hackers. These concerns are attributed to security theoretical frameworks not sufficiently addressing the entirety of privacy and security concerns relating to the diverse technological ecos

Abstract:

Health care is increasingly being provided by collaborative teams that involve multiple health care providers at multiple locations. To date, most of that collaboration is on an ad-hoc basis via phone calls, faxes, and paper based documentation. However, Internet and wireless technologies provide an opportunity to improve this situation via electronic data sharing. These new technologies make possible new ways of working and collaboration but it can be difficult for health care organizations to understand how to adopt new technologies while still ensuring that their policies and objectives are

As the number and percentage of elderly Canadians increase, it becomes imperative to understand successful aging in order to keep this growing segment of our population healthy and productive. Conceptual models of successful aging have been proposed in a number of disciplines (biology, psychology, sociology, epidemiology), but these have yet to be integrated. There is not even agreement on how to define successful aging, or on whether it is a state of being or an adaptive process. To date, there have been relatively few interventions to promote successful aging, and the lack of a theoretical a

These health records include, but are not limited to, Personal Health Records, Electronic Heath Records, Electronic Medical Records and Payer-Based Health Records.

Apart from that, other challenges that the National Department of Health has to deal with include the lack of sufficiently trained healthcare employees who can work on the different levels

Whilst the concept has been explored within medicine, nursing and other allied health professions, within physiotherapy there has only been minimal discussion. The aim

In addition, maintenance following a period of initial weight loss is rare and relies upon unique combinations of interrelated and overlapping factors. Whilst the outcome of weight loss and its maintenance has been the focus of much research, the individual weight loss journey as a process has been largely overlooked. By looking thr

Abstract:

This study seeks to establish how cultural change is transforming Samoan perceptions of alcohol and its role in social life by comparing understandings of, attitudes to, and patterns of alcohol use in successive generations of Samoans to establish how these are changing, and how trends in alcohol use might be expected to affect Samoan health status. It examines the complex relationships between alcohol and culture, and how such relationships interact to influence health. As well, it explores how Samoan culture, fa'asamoa, has changed since contact with Europeans, how, these changes have influe

Abstract:

Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa share at least three things: cultural heritage, a high burden of disease and a low financial commitment to health care. This thesis asks questions of justice about health care systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular Nigeria. The questions are about access to the available health resources and services within African health care systems. While the sub-region as a whole cannot boast of good health care, certain population groups are relatively more disadvantaged. This suggests either or both of two problems: a) that access to basic health care is not proporti

Abstract:

Computer aided molecular design (CAMD) is a powerful technique to design molecules or chemical mixtures that fulfil a set of desirable target properties as specified by users. Molecular physical and thermodynamic properties are selected as the target properties to ensure that the designed molecules can achieve the property functionalities. However, the aspects of safety and health are not strongly emphasised as design objectives in many CAMD problems. In order to ensure that the synthesised molecule does not cause much harm and health-related risks to the consumers, it is critical to integrate

Abstract:

Simulation and Modelling (S&M) have been proven as very valuable tools in the health care sector. In recent years, the sector has experienced a rapid increase in applications. However, it appears that health care organisations have failed to sustain the use of these powerful techniques. In this research, an extensive literature review is carried out to identify the main challenges of the use of health care simulation and the underlying barriers of implementing S&M in the sector. In order to address these issues, it identifies the need to fully embed S&M into the sector through a systematic app

The US health care system, with fragmented behavioral and medical health care sectors, is unable to effectively meet the complex needs of high-need patients. This results in high health care utilization, incr
