A Novel System for AYUSH Healthcare Services using Classification and Regression

There are roughly 4000 AYUSH hospitals spread out across India under various councils and hospitals run by the Indian government. Today’s atmosphere makes it more challenging than ever to locate a suitable AYUSH facility for the treatment. The AYUSH Ministry provides India’s top option for healthcare delivery. The government is examining strategies to lower expenditures while enhancing patient care. We are proposing the ground-breaking idea of e-healthcare which involves various novel features like suggesting various tools to the patients those need to communicate with the healthcare professionals as per their convenience remotely. This research suggests an interactive system using Android in line with this trend. By integrating different bio-medical data sources that contain information pertinent to the hospital demographics, their inpatient procedure rates, Outpatient department, etc., we proposed a system that surveys on the various AYUSH hospitals to find. This system uses the Google Map API for tracking and highlighting the location to the nearby AYUSH hospitals with opening and closing timings. Additionally, the proposed system plays a crucial role in emergency scenarios by supporting the user in performing the necessary first aid techniques. Using this strategy, the entire system demonstrates that this research provides a superior method for making decisions than past studies

PICT-DPA: A Quality-Compliance Data Processing Architecture to Improve the Performance of Integrated Emergency Care Clinical Decision Support System

Emergency Care System (ECS) is a critical component of health care systems by providing acute resuscitation and life-saving care. As a time-sensitive care operation system, any delay and mistake in the decision-making of these EC functions can create additional risks of adverse events and clinical incidents. The Emergency Care Clinical Decision Support System (EC-CDSS) has proven to improve the quality of the aforementioned EC functions. However, the literature is scarce on how to implement and evaluate the EC-CDSS with regard to the improvement of PHOs, which is the ultimate goal of ECS. The reasons are twofold: 1) lack of clear connections between the implementation of EC-CDSS and PHOs because of unknown quality attributes; and 2) lack of clear identification of stakeholders and their decision processes. Both lead to the lack of a data processing architecture for an integrated EC-CDSS that can fulfill all quality attributes while satisfying all stakeholders’ information needs with the goal of improving PHOs. This dissertation identified quality attributes (PICT: Performance of the decision support, Interoperability, Cost, and Timeliness) and stakeholders through a systematic literature review and designed a new data processing architecture of EC-CDSS, called PICT-DPA, through design science research. The PICT-DPA was evaluated by a prototype of integrated PICT-DPA EC-CDSS, called PICTEDS, and a semi-structured user interview. The evaluation results demonstrated that the PICT-DPA is able to improve the quality attributes of EC-CDSS while satisfying stakeholders’ information needs. This dissertation made theoretical contributions to the identification of quality attributes (with related metrics) and stakeholders of EC-CDSS and the PICT Quality Attribute model that explains how EC-CDSSs may improve PHOs through the relationships between each quality attribute and PHOs. This dissertation also made practical contributions on how quality attributes with metrics and variable stakeholders could be able to guide the design, implementation, and evaluation of any EC-CDSS and how the data processing architecture is general enough to guide the design of other decision support systems with requirements of the similar quality attributes

A video-based technique for heart rate and eye blinks rate estimation: A potential solution for telemonitoring and remote healthcare

11noopenCurrent telemedicine and remote healthcare applications foresee different interactions between the doctor and the patient relying on the use of commercial and medical wearable sensors and internet-based video conferencing platforms. Nevertheless, the existing applications necessarily require a contact between the patient and sensors for an objective evaluation of the patient’s state. The proposed study explored an innovative video-based solution for monitoring neurophysiological parameters of potential patients and assessing their mental state. In particular, we investigated the possibility to estimate the heart rate (HR) and eye blinks rate (EBR) of participants while performing laboratory tasks by mean of facial—video analysis. The objectives of the study were focused on: (i) assessing the effectiveness of the proposed technique in estimating the HR and EBR by comparing them with laboratory sensor-based measures and (ii) assessing the capability of the video—based technique in discriminating between the participant’s resting state (Nominal condition) and their active state (Non-nominal condition). The results demonstrated that the HR and EBR estimated through the facial—video technique or the laboratory equipment did not statistically differ (p > 0.1), and that these neurophysiological parameters allowed to discriminate between the Nominal and Non-nominal states (p <0.02).openRonca V.; Giorgi A.; Rossi D.; Di Florio A.; Di Flumeri G.; Aricò P.; Sciaraffa N.; Vozzi A.; Tamborra L.; Simonetti I.; Borghini G.Ronca, V.; Giorgi, A.; Rossi, D.; Di Florio, A.; Di Flumeri, G.; Aricò, P.; Sciaraffa, N.; Vozzi, A.; Tamborra, L.; Simonetti, I.; Borghini, G

Rule of Thumb: Mobiles for governance in India

Between 1996 and 2012, India's standing dropped on five of the six indicators of governance developed by the World Bank. Today, with over 900 million mobile phone subscriptions, India's mobile revolution presents an unprecedented opportunity to address this deficit and bring good governance to the farthest corners of the country. Adding 10 mobile phones per 100 people in a developing country can lead to half a point of additional GDP growth per person. Rule of Thumb makes a case for m-governance, and for reimagining the ways in which governments and citizens function, transact and interact with each other. It also explores how, in India and the world over, non-profits and social businesses are marrying the ubiquity of mobile technology with governance systems and processes to produce great benefits for citizens and governments alike.

Media Innovation Studio Interactive Review: Volume 1

The Media Innovation Studio’s founding aim in 2012 was to work across disciplines to explore the potential of creative and digital technologies to bring about positive change. Our ‘action research’ approach is lodged in a desire to create inclusively-designed prototypes as responses to real-world issues. Originally positioned within the University of Central Lancashire’s (UCLan) School of Journalism and Media, and now part of the College of Culture and the Creative Industries, the Studio’s remit is to inhabit ‘liminal spaces’ between disciplines. It hopes to explore, research and innovate within the digital ecosystem evolving around us. The human race is more socially, economically, politically and technologically interdependent than at any time in its history. Yet, inequality, instability and unsustainability remain. Collectively, the Media Innovation Studio is trying to understand whether technology has a contribution to make to resolving this broader set of fundamental social issues. Perhaps more interestingly, we’re asking whether there are an emerging series of ideas bound up in the creation and use of Information Computing Technology as it is repurposed by global communities to support activities that make our lives better. We do not believe that technology enables everyone by magically bridging the ‘digital divide’. Nor do we believe that its use by supporters of ‘digital democracy’ is any more democratic because of the use of ICT. Instead, we have discovered through a combination of talking to people, building relationships and making things together, possibilities for change are created. Thankfully, there’s plenty of evidence to demonstrate we’re capable of this. This review shows some of our projects, approaches and methodologies which combine disruptive design techniques, traditional social science and established practice-based methods from the arts. Focussing on the last 12 months of activity, the book also incorporates earlier projects that helped shape the thinking that brought us together to create the Media Innovation Studio
