Abstract:
Six seniors (ages 70-79) participated in a six-week focus group to identify healthcare issues relevant to older adults in Arizona. The PhotoVoice© methodology was used to organize discussion around participants' own photographic documentation of experiences with healthcare systems. The overarching concern for participants was that of healthcare systems navigation. Five domains of concern related to Healthcare Navigation were identified and documented by participants through photographic process; Access, Getting Information, Relationships with Healthcare Providers, Managing Medication and Lifes

Abstract:
The healthcare industry evolved on March 23, 2010, when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law. The general problem prompting the need for this study was that healthcare workers are affected by patient and family anxiety, evolving evidencebased practices and treatments, and regulatory complexities. Outdated managerial skills with leaders lacking emotional intelligence may produce employee dissatisfaction, and satisfied workers may influence the quality of care and patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between senior healthcare leaders' EI an

A variety of planar square inductor geometries were studied before selecting an optimal design. The designs were fabricated using multiple techniques and compared to the simulation results. It was determined that inductance must be car

Abstract:
A growing number of factors, including the costs, technological advancements, an ageing population, and medical errors are leading industrialised countries to invest in research on alternative solutions to improving their health care systems and increasing patients’ life quality. Personal Health System (PHS) solutions envision the use of information and communication technologies that enable a paradigm shift from the traditional hospital-centred healthcare delivery model toward a preventive and person-centred approach. PHS offers the means to follow patient health using wearable, portable or i

Abstract:
Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking. Clinical gait analysis is the process by which quantitative information is collected for the assessment and decision-making of any gait disorder. Although observational gait analysis is the therapistâ s primary clinical tool for describing the quality of a patientâ s walking pattern, it can be very unreliable. Modern gait analysis is facilitated through the use of specialized equipment. Currently, accurate gait analysis requires dedicated laboratories with complex settings and highly skilled operators.

Abstract:
The delivery of quality healthcare to all citizens at reasonable costs is an important challenge. With the increase in the aging population, the costs of managing chronic diseases increase. Today, healthcare services tend to shift from recovery to prevention. Remote healthcare monitoring is crucial for prevention and monitoring of chronic diseases since they require continuous and long-term monitoring. The advances in networking, mobile communications and medical device technologies offer a great potential to realize remote healthcare monitoring. However, seamless integration of multi-modal me

Abstract:
Due to the rise in the elderly population and the prevalence of chronic diseases, healthcare organizations around the world are faced with an economic burden which will continue to grow. For this reason there is an urgent demand to reduce the intake of elders in hospitals and nursing homes by allowing them to live independently for greater lengths of time. In response to this demand, researchers are strongly focusing on 'telemonitoring', which is the use of information technology (IT) to monitor the health status of an individual from a remote location (e.g. their home).
