Augmented Reality is a technology which provides people with more intuitive ways of interaction and visualization, close to those in real world. The amount of applications using Augmented Reality is growing every day, and results can be already seen in several fields such as Education, Training, Entertainment and Medicine. The system proposed in this article intends to provide a friendly and intuitive...
The purpose of this study is to develop an automatic classifier based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to help the diagnostic of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) using forced oscillation measurements (FOT). The classifier inputs are the parameters provided by the FOT and the output is the indication if the parameters indicate COPD or not. The available dataset consists of 7 possible...
The concept of monitoring individuals in the home and community settings was introduced more than 50 years ago, when Holter monitoring was proposed (in the late 1940s) and later adopted (in the 1960s) as a clinical tool. However, technologies to fully enable such vision were lacking and only sporadic and rather obtrusive monitoring techniques were available for several decades. Over the past decade,...
Closed loop systems, in which stimulation parameters are adjusted according to recorded signals would reduce the occurrence of side effects of stimulation and broaden current therapeutic options. As a step towards a closed-loop clinical system, we developed a single electrode stimulation / recording system for an in vitro microelectrode array. The system was used in vitro to simultaneously stimulate...
The purpose of the present manuscript is to present the advances performed in medicine using a Personalized Decision Support System (PDSS). The models used in Decision Support Systems (DSS) are examined in combination with Genome Information and Biomarkers to produce personalized result for each individual. The concept of personalize medicine is described in depth and application of PDSS for Cardiovascular...
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading chronic diseases affecting developed countries. Traditional approach to secondary prevention of CVD through hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is hampered by the lack of uptake and adherence. Objective: To address this, the Australian e-Health Research Centre and Queensland Health have developed an alternative ICT-enabled CR program to...
Home telemonitoring is of great interest in respiratory medicine where large numbers of people have long term conditions. We developed a telemedicine instrument for home monitoring of patients with disturbed respiratory muscles. The instrument measures the maximum inspiratory pressure (Pimax), the inspiratory time constant (τi) and connects to the Internet through TCP/IP protocol. The instrument was...
