Abstract:

This thesis advocates that young people’s participatory theatre in Britain is an important site for dialogue - both internally between young people and externally with those in positions of power and authority who have decision-making responsibilities in young people’s lives. Contextualising the work within the field of critical pedagogy, the thesis asks questions about how devised theatre with young participants can be an effective method to start conversations about young people’s identity and role in society. The research was conducted within a Participatory Action Research methodology, and

Smart phones today have become increasingly popular with the general public for its diverse abilities like navigation, social networking, and multimedia facilities to name a few. These phones are equipped with high end processors, high resolution cameras, built-in sensors like accelerometer, orientation-sensor, light-sensor, and much more. According to comScore survey, 25.3% of US adults use smart phones in their daily lives. Motivated by the capability of smart phones and their extensive usage, I focused on utilizing them for bio-medical applications. In this thesis, I present a new applicati

Abstract:

This thesis explores the contactless estimation of people’s vital signs. We designed two camera-based systems and applied object detection algorithms to locate the regions of interest where vital signs are estimated. With the development of Deep Learning, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model has many applications in the real world nowadays. We applied the CNN based frameworks to the different types of camera based systems and improve the efficiency of the contactless vital signs estimation. In the field of medical healthcare, contactless monitoring draws a lot attention in the recent years

Abstract:

Modern intelligent monitoring systems use digital computer technology to analyze and evaluate physiological vital signs. This analytical and evaluative process is performed by algorithms developed for this purpose. The degree of 'intelligence' of the monitoring system is dependent on the 'sensitivity' and 'specificity' of these algorithms. In order to develop robust and clinically valid algorithms, a database of representative waveforms is required. The aim of this thesis was to create a neonatal vital signs database to be used for this purpose, by means of a computer-based central station. Th

The chest of a person moves due to the heart beating and the lungs expanding and contracting. So the chest movement contains information about the heart and breathing rates. This property is used to detect vital signs using Doppler radar and On-Body antennas. These methods can be accurate, cost-effective, portable, comfortable and low profile alternatives to present commercial heart and breathing rate monitoring devices. The 1st method employing Doppler Effect is non-contact. It detects both the heart and breathing rates using the modulated reflected signals from the chest of a person. A param

Introduction: Research show that patients frequently display abnormal vital signs as much as 48h before a serious adverse event occur, such as cardiac arrest or unplanned intensive care unit admission. Therefore, early recognition of these changes trough vital sign examination is essential in the prevention of deterioration. However, deterioration is often missed.Aim: The aim was to investigate to what extent nurses in the general ward are documenting vital signs prior to patient deterioration.

Nyttan av MEWS inom onkologisk heldygnsvård är än så länge dokumenterat i mycket liten utsträckning.

Background and aim: Hospitals in the developed world are increasingly adopting digital systems such as electronic health records (EHRs) for all kinds of documentation. This move means that traditional paper case notes and nursing records are often documented in EHRs. Documentation of vital signs is important for monitoring a patient's physiological condition and how vital signs are presented in a clinical record can have a profound impact on the ability of clinicians to recognise changes, such as deterioration in a patient's condition.

Timely recognition of physiological deterioration is known to reduce the prevalence and severity of complications. However pregnancy-associated changes in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate) complicate the detection of abnormal physiology, and these changes are not well documented.

Abstract:

The observation, recording and appraisal of an individual’s vital signs, namely temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), are key components in the assessment of their health and wellbeing. Measurements provide valuable diagnostic data, facilitating clinical diagnosis, management and monitoring. Respiratory rate sensing is perhaps the most under-utilised of all the vital signs, being routinely assessed by observation or estimated algorithmically from respiratory-induced beat-to-beat variation in heart rate.

Abstract:

Patients often exhibit premonitory abnormalities in vital signs before an adverse clinical outcome. Patient survival may depend on the decisions of nurses to call for assistance. There is a paucity of published early warning scores (EWS) literature for general ward use from South Africa. In a public hospital in South Africa, the study aimed to develop, validate and test the impact of implementation of a modified early warning scoring (MEWS) system vital signs chart and training programme designed to improve hospital nurses’ performance in early identification of postoperative clinical and phys

Abstract:

A novel approach is introduced to design microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) with improved fabrication tolerance for highly demanded Millimetre-wave (mm-wave) (30-300GHz) and Terahertz (THz) (0.3-3THz) frequency applications. The presented MP A designing method overcomes the challenges which exist with the fabrication and implementation of the conventional MP A designs at mm-wave and THz frequencies. The following research contributions have been added to the state-ofthe- art work: (i) designing of improved size MPAs at 60GHz, 1 OOGHz, 635GHz and 835GHz to prove the designing concept, (ii) detail

Abstract:

This study was performed at an acute alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in Southern Arizona mainly serving three ethnicities; Caucasian, Hispanic, and Native-American. The CIWA-Ar assessment is used to evaluate the severity of withdrawal and a score of 10 or higher to the subjective questions results in admission to the in-patient unit. It has been observed that the Native-American patients suffering from withdrawal generally score lower on the CIWA-Ar scale compared to the other ethnicities, thus resulting in a lack of admission or reduced treatment. The purpose of this study was to analy

Abstract:

O sistema Sinais Vitais permite monitorizar, em tempo real e remotamente, os sinais vitais de uma determinada pessoa de um modo não invasivo e portátil. Esta característica, associada com a funcionalidade de elaborar relatórios com a informação dos sinais medidos, permite afirmar que este sistema e a sua arquitectura podem contribuir para aproximar de um modo proactivo a saúde dos pacientes. Este tipo de sistemas têm-se afirmado de uma importância fundamental em sociedades com altas taxas de envelhecimento porque permitem recolher grandes quantidades de dados médicos com a utilização de pouco

Taking good care of aged persons and reducing health care costs become very important issues. Home care is a solution to deal with these issues. The purpose of this study is to develop vital signs measurement platform by using a personal digital assistant (PDA) whose operation system is Windows Mobile 5.0. This system lets user measure vital signs and save data conveniently, and therefore reduces health care costs. The vital signs that were measured in this study are: electrocar

In this paper, a continuous-wave 2.45 GHz Doppler radar is used for wirelessly measuring a) respiration rate and respiration inter-interval variation, b) heartbeat rate and heartbeat inter-interval variation, and c) the pulse wave transit time for blood pressure estimation. Both the autocorrelation and conventional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) estimation algorithms are a
