Muscle strength and balance training are the key components of exercise to prevent falling in seniors. The aim of this study was to design a new, simplified exergame concept for senior citizens, which focuses on physical activity in general, and balance and muscle strength in particular. The study provides a new design concept of an exergame on the basis of assessment of 7 senior participants' (70.6 ± 7.9 years) experience with three commercially available exergames. The participants stated that the design of the existing exergames should be simplified and closely related to activities that can be associated with their daily life. The feedback was qualitatively analyzed to enlist the requirements of a new exergame. A new simplified exergame design concept, Out in Nature, was created on the basis of the seniors' feedback. The new design focused on a simplistic design, playing games for balance and muscle training related to real life activities. The study demonstrates a concept for a game developed for seniors that can be used to train aspects of balance and gait as part of natural tasks.","PeriodicalId":120856,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124506965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these, a minor group requires regular visits from homecare nurses, to assist with daily medication and insulin injection. In this study we analyzed the deployment of a standard telemedicine platform in the home of seven patients and followed them through a 3 month field study. We found that the enrolled patients did achieve an increased empowerment and self-awareness about their own health conditions. However, the standard telemedicine solution had several short comings, which could lead to reporting errors. Based on our findings, we developed a proof-of-concept prototype to illustrate the ideal solution for this group of patients. This included features such as automatic transfer of weight and blood sugar data, video capture of an insulin monitor for verification of the correct dosage of insulin. Also, an overview of previously taken measurements and storage of these in a telemedicine database was implemented to eliminate the identified challenges.","PeriodicalId":120856,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133221277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to sustain attention potentially leads to enhance cognitive functions. Attention Training provides a promising alternative therapy to enhance cognitive ability and it can be efficiently implemented with Neurofeedback Training (NFT) system. The purpose of this research is to develop a NFT system for attention training to enhance cognitive performance in older adults. The efficiency of the system was evaluated by establishing a clinical trial for healthy elderly and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients to perform cognitive rehabilitation. There were totally 24 older adults, age 55-70 yrs, enrolled to this trial. Both healthy and MCI groups performed NFT interventions in 12 half-hour sessions, two sessions a week. Experimental results showed it is possible to train older adults to modify their amplitude of certain brain wave ranges using a neurofeedback protocol targeting several wave ranges for cognitive performance improvement. Most participants succeeded to increase the ratio of their beta/alpha power band in both groups. The relations between specific patterns of EEG activity and levels of cognitive performance can be investigated with the NFT system as a training technique. The system is aimed to encourage older adults to produce specific patterns of cortical activity in connection with an improved level of cognitive performance.","PeriodicalId":120856,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"471 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132250213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, research in the area of Parental Behavioral Therapy is accelerating. This type of therapy focuses on behavioral strategies that, if practiced regularly, can have a positive impact on the child's long-term behavior, as well as a reduction in parental stress. While these strategies are simple, there are hurdles to putting them into practice. First, parents often struggle with their own---often-undiagnosed---mental health challenges. Second, due to the needs of their children, parents are under immense stress in addition to regular, daily life stresses. Our work explores how to monitor parental stress and offers in situ support to remind parents of behavioral strategies to practice in moments of duress. We gained insight into how to design for the dynamics of families with ADHD children by using a prototype of our system as a probe. Our goal was to bring to the forefront simple strategies that can positively impact family ties and enhance the wellbeing of the child. We present results that suggest that when interventions are cued during moments of duress, technology might prove useful in supporting behavioral therapy.","PeriodicalId":120856,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122963182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different decision-tree models were used to explore baseline predictors of response to Peginterferon plus Ribavirin therapy to discriminate HCV patients who are likely to respond. We have developed simple software that generates different possible combination of parameters for each model; using this software we were able to assort the decision-tree model according to the best performance, and to find the best classifier. The three models were comparable as regards to accuracy (about 69%); however REP Tree has shown fast and well performance for classification on medical data sets of increased size. Various pre-treatment decision tree algorithms have demonstrated that low level of Alpha-Fetal Protein (AFP) is associated with high response rate; and has the prospective to support clinical decisions regarding the proper selection of patients for therapy without imposing extra costs for additional examinations.","PeriodicalId":120856,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125984382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
