ICT enables improvement of healthcare processes, by increasing quality while simultaneously reducing costs. Among the different ICT-based solutions, mobile health is achieving an increasing importance: despite all potential benefits of mobile technologies, little attention has been putso far in their application within hospitals. As a result, any mobile solution introduction tends to not take into...
This article presents a way of modeling patient response to a pharmacotherapy by means of dynamic models with quantized output. The proposed modeling technique is exemplified by treatment of Parkinson's disease with Duodopa ®, where the drug is continuously administered via duodenal infusion. Titration of Duodopa ® is currently performed manually by a nurse judging the patient's motor symptoms on...
Heart diseases such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction have been becoming the leading causes of death all over the world in recent years. The pharmacotherapy and the surgical operations have been executed for treating heart problems. The percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with catheter is frequently used for the treatment of coronary artery diseases, but the treatment of chronic total...
For the purposes of insomnia treatment, pharmacotherapy is widely used, despite the possibility for the use of behavioural treatment of insomnia. Thus, the assessment and treatment of patients with insomnia needs further investigation. This work addresses insomnia treatment evaluation and medication side-effect assessment based on continuous physiological signals such as EEG and ECG monitoring and...
Methylphenidate (MPH) is presently the primary pharmacotherapy for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It has not been determined though what impact long-term treatment with this psychostimulant would have on behavior, neurochemistry or neuroanatomy. Previous studies have shown that the striatum is a major target of MPH treatment, consistent with human MRI studies. Also...
We have developed a magnetic sensor-based wireless pharmaceutical compliance monitoring (PCM) system using an array of magneto-inductive sensors mounted around the patient's neck in the form of a tight necklace. This system detects the passage of a pill or capsule embedded with a small permanent magnet as a tracer through the esophagus upon ingestion. As a result, a signal representing a ldquodose...
