CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
In order to maintain in a market economy with the competition becoming increasingly tough, with consumer preferences and demands more sophisticated and diverse, a company must manage in the best possible way the relations with the existing and potential customers to know their preferences, attitudes, purchasing behaviour, motivations, in order to attract the proper clients for their company products. These goals may be achieved by implementing a strategy called “Customer Relationship Management”, which aims to identify the potential customers, observing their needs, attract them through a special offer and obtaining their enthusiasm. A key element of a CRM strategy is communication using as many possible ways with current and potential customers, in order to attract them and to become loyal.customer attraction, loyalty, CRM, strategy
VetCompass Australia: A National Big Data Collection System for Veterinary Science
VetCompass Australia is veterinary medical records-based research coordinated with the global VetCompass endeavor to maximize its quality and effectiveness for Australian companion animals (cats, dogs, and horses). Bringing together all seven Australian veterinary schools, it is the first nationwide surveillance system collating clinical records on companion-animal diseases and treatments. VetCompass data service collects and aggregates real-time, clinical records for researchers to interrogate, delivering sustainable and cost-effective access to data from hundreds of veterinary practitioners nationwide. Analysis of these clinical records will reveal geographical and temporal trends in the prevalence of inherited and acquired diseases, identify frequently prescribed treatments, revolutionize clinical auditing, help the veterinary profession to rank research priorities, and assure evidence-based companion-animal curricula in veterinary schools. VetCompass Australia will progress in three phases: (1) roll-out of the VetCompass platform to harvest Australian veterinary clinical record data; (2) development and enrichment of the coding (data-presentation) platform; and (3) creation of a world-first, real-time surveillance interface with natural language processing (NLP) technology. The first of these three phases is described in the current article. Advances in the collection and sharing of records from numerous practices will enable veterinary professionals to deliver a vastly improved level of care for companion animals that will improve their quality of life
Privacy and Security in Multi-User Health Kiosks
Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) has gotten stricter and penalties have become more severe in response to a significant increase in computer-related information breaches in recent years. With health information said to be worth twice as much as other forms of information on the underground market, making preservation of privacy and security an integral part of health technology development, rather than an afterthought, not only mitigates risks but also helps to ensure HIPAA and HITECH compliance. This paper provides a guide, based on the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) audit protocol, for creating and maintaining an audit checklist for multi-user health kiosks. Implementation of selected audit elements for a multi-user health kiosk designed for use by community-residing older adults illustrates how the guide can be applied.
Tribally-Driven Participatory Research: State of the practice and potential strategies for the future
This paper discusses current practice of research with and by American Indian tribal governments in the United States. It begins with a brief overview of Community-Based Participatory Research and compares and contrasts its principles and methods with what this paper terms Tribally-Driven Participatory Research. The paper analyzes current challenges and offers concepts for continuing to improve the effectiveness of Tribally-Driven Participatory Research
Unlocking the Potential of ChatGPT: A Comprehensive Exploration of its Applications, Advantages, Limitations, and Future Directions in Natural Language Processing
Large language models have revolutionized the field of artificial
intelligence and have been used in various applications. Among these models,
ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) has been developed by OpenAI,
it stands out as a powerful tool that has been widely adopted. ChatGPT has been
successfully applied in numerous areas, including chatbots, content generation,
language translation, personalized recommendations, and even medical diagnosis
and treatment. Its success in these applications can be attributed to its
ability to generate human-like responses, understand natural language, and
adapt to different contexts. Its versatility and accuracy make it a powerful
tool for natural language processing (NLP). However, there are also limitations
to ChatGPT, such as its tendency to produce biased responses and its potential
to perpetuate harmful language patterns. This article provides a comprehensive
overview of ChatGPT, its applications, advantages, and limitations.
Additionally, the paper emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations
when using this robust tool in real-world scenarios. Finally, This paper
contributes to ongoing discussions surrounding artificial intelligence and its
impact on vision and NLP domains by providing insights into prompt engineering
techniques

Vital signs monitoring and management using mobile devices
Constant breakthroughs in medical sensor technology
and mobile devices fields, combined with growing wireless
communication capabilities, have made possible the emergence of
new health monitoring paradigms. The ever-increasing features
of PDAs and smartphones make them a vital component in
innovative health monitoring systems. In this paper, we introduce
a handset mobile monitoring and management system, developed
as complement to a complete vital signs monitoring project
(MOHLL). The main purpose of this system is to provide
physicians with real-time visualization of the patients’ vital
parameters, namely the ECG trace, heart rate, and body
temperature, through an Internet-connected PDA.Clinical and financial support for the case-study has been provided by Grupo AMI - Assistencia Medica Integral (Casa de Saude de Guimaraes, SA), Portugal, under the partnership established between this healthcare company and the University of Minho
Professional and Peer Social Support-Oriented mHealth App: A Platform for Adolescents with Depressive Symptomatology
Adolescent depression has been increasing worldwide and often there are no available platforms to support them. Being one of the largest age groups of smartphone users, we investigate and implement an extension framework for mobile health (mHealth) applications to alleviate depressive symptomatology and elevate psychological well-being in adolescents. In this paper, we discuss the design and development of incorporating and integrating social support provided by professionals and peers and its effective role in a mobile context
