Continuous assessment of the quality of health-related life (HRQoL) of patients is an important aspect of health and gives rise to several readings. On one hand, the enormous amount of information that is generated allows the extraction of knowledge with great accuracy concerning the disease, the treatments and the impact it has on society, on the other hand, this continuous monitoring allows effective...
Cardiotocography is a diagnostic exam performed from the 28th week of pregnancy that registers the fetus cardiac frequency and uterine contractions. From this exam results a cardiotocogram whose reading and observation of the patterns contained in it allow an evaluation of the baby's condition and the fetal vitality in the maternal womb. This work aims the creation of a classification model using...
As a result of improved living conditions and the progress achieved in areas related to medicine, there is a decrease in the mortality rate but an increase in the number of patients with chronic diseases. Contrary to what happened until a few decades ago, patients with chronic diseases now have a high life expectancy. However, the patients increased life expectancy, often causes great pain and significant...
Advances in the last decades in the areas of medical science and patients treatment resulted in a decrease in the mortality rate but also an increase in the number of patients with chronic diseases. This increased life expectancy of patients with chronic diseases often involves great suffering and considerable adverse effects for the patients. Thus, in addition to prolonging life, it is essential...
The development of new technologies, information systems, decision support systems and clinical parameters prediction algorithms using machine learning and data mining opens a new perspective in many area of health. In this context, relevance presents the concept of Quality of Life (QOL) in health and the possibility of developing Support Systems Clinical Decision (SADC) that use it. Through individual...
Human consciousness is a target of research in multiple fields of knowledge, that presents it as an important characteristic to better handle complex and diverse situations. Artificial consciousness models have arose, together with theories that attempt to model what we understand about consciousness, in a way that could be implemented an artificial conscious being. The main motivations to study artificial...
Nano-communications have tremendous potential for applications in the biomedical, environmental, industrial and military fields. Molecular communication is a new communication paradigm which allows nanomachines to exchange information using molecules as carrier. This is the most promising communication method within nanonetworks, since using electromagnetic waves is not very likely due to the size...
The area of object/people location consists on the identification of their instantaneous movement in a given area of space and during a given time frame. This location takes an important role because it can help rectify trajectories (in the case of autonomous objects) or improve the performance (in the case of sport practices). In this research project, a system based on RFID that automatically rectifies...
In this paper an overview of two humanoid simulation platforms is provided: Simspark, a 3D Robocup simulator and the robotics simulator SimTwo. Although these two simulators have different background, today they share the same humanoid robot model, namely the Albaderan NAO robot. According to the fact that developing reliable and robust biped locomotion and low level humanoid behaviors are still challenging...
