Book Synopsis Health Informatics Meets EHealth by : G. Schreier

Download or read book Health Informatics Meets EHealth written by G. Schreier. This book was released on 2016-05-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in medicine has traditionally relied heavily on classical research pathways involving randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to establish reliable evidence for any given therapeutic intervention. However, not only are RCTs lengthy and expensive, they have a number of other disadvantages, including the fact that they are currently failing to keep pace with the number of potential innovative treatment options being developed, particularly in areas such as rare diseases. With the vast amount of data increasingly available for use in profiling patient characteristics and establishing correlations between outcomes and potential predictors, predictive modeling may offer a potential solution to the limitations of RCTs. This book presents the proceedings of the 2016 Health Informatics meets eHealth conference, held in Vienna, Austria in May 2016. The conference provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, decision makers and vendors to discuss innovative health informatics and eHealth solutions with a view to improving the quality, efficacy and efficiency of healthcare. The theme of the conference is Predictive Modeling in Healthcare. Covering subjects as diverse as fall-detection in the elderly, diabetes, physiotherapy and pediatric oncology, this book will be of interest to all those working in the field of (e)healthcare and its delivery.

Book Synopsis Annual Review of Cybertherapy and Telemedicine 2015 by : B.K. Wiederhold

Download or read book Annual Review of Cybertherapy and Telemedicine 2015 written by B.K. Wiederhold. This book was released on 2016-01-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare delivery systems have evolved to rely more heavily on technology in recent years. There has been a shift in care, diagnosis and treatment which has decreased the importance of traditional methods of care delivery. Technology has not only helped to extend our lifespan, but it has improved the quality of life for all citizens. This book presents the proceedings of the 20th Annual CyberPsychology, CyberTherapy & Social Networking Conference (CYPSY20), held in San Diego, California, in June/July 2015. The conference is an international networking and sharing platform for researchers, clinicians, policymakers and funding agents to share and discuss advancements in the growing disciplines of CyberTherapy & CyberPsychology. The papers included here have been divided into six main sections: editorial; critical reviews; evaluation studies; original research; clinical observations and work in progress. The book underlines how cybertherapy has started to make progress in treating a variety of disorders, and provides an overview of the necessary skills and tools available, as well as illuminating the context of interaction in which they operate.

Book Synopsis Mobile e-Health by : Hannah R. Marston

Download or read book Mobile e-Health written by Hannah R. Marston. This book was released on 2017-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-disciplinary collection of essays captures discussion, thinking and research surrounding the recent surge of interest in how technology can help us as we age. A wide range of topics are covered, from investigations in the use of technology to improve health and well-being, to examinations of digital gaming, mobile health apps and the quantified self in relation to an ageing population. From multi-disciplinary perspectives, this collection highlights the role of a more social approach to technology. As such, a variety of social research methods are used throughout the chapters. The benefits and issues with different approaches are highlighted both in terms of further research, but also so the reader can judge the value of the research for themselves. This collection brings together the latest thinking and cutting edge contemporary research from leading thinkers and academics in the field of human computer interaction, health and gerontology. In taking a social approach, it highlights how technological practices fit within wider gerontological, political and cultural perspectives. It therefore has potential to influence those working in human computer interaction, digital humanities, sociology, psychology and gerontology. It can help change the practice of people working in the health and social care field, in computer and product design, and in the digital and creative industries.

Book Synopsis Context Sensitive Health Informatics: Many Places, Many Users, Many Contexts, Many Uses by : E.M. Borycki

Download or read book Context Sensitive Health Informatics: Many Places, Many Users, Many Contexts, Many Uses written by E.M. Borycki. This book was released on 2015-08-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context is key in the design, implementation and evaluation of health information technology. Healthcare systems around the world are in transition; adopting technologies to deal with the problems of aging populations, increased numbers of chronically ill patients and limited resources. But a 'one size fits all' approach is not the answer, and may limit those local healthcare system innovations that are so crucial to the development of health informatics. Even the most advanced systems will fail to achieve the desired outcomes if context is not taken into account. This book presents the proceedings of the Context Sensitive Health Informatics (CSHI) conference, held in Curitiba, Brazil, in August 2015. Context sensitive health informatics is about health information technologies and their environments, and the 26 papers included here examine how health informatics systems are developed, implemented and evaluated in a complex environment of many places, many users, many uses and in many contexts. The book is divided into four themes: different users in different contexts; evaluating for context through usability testing and ensuring patient safety; organizational and social issues in different places; and understanding different contexts using theory. This overview of the research and experience critical to ensuring the successful introduction and adaptation of healthcare systems to new countries, contexts and healthcare settings will be of interest to all those involved in improving the quality of healthcare worldwide.
