{"title":"An innovative 4.0 system to prevent the spreading of the diseases which threaten the globalized world","authors":"Roberto Mosca, Marco Mosca, Roberto Revetria, Fabio Currò, Federico Briatore","doi":"10.1007/s12553-023-00773-z","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12553-023-00773-z","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Purpose The purpose of this research is to provide an effective contribution to contrast the spread of Covid19. Therefore, the authors aimed to model a new strategy (technologies and processes), using the principles made available by Industry 4.0. Method The strategy consists in an IoT thermoscanner (developed by the authors, strategically placed throughout the settlement), and an innovative method of disinfection (achieved by redesigning the sanitization processes, using UV-C rays and gaseous Ozone produced by IoT machines, again conceptualized and developed by the authors, being capable of reproducing the Chapman Cycle and its associated benefits). This method was discussed in the article \"Sanitizing of Confined Spaces Using Gaseous Ozone Produced by 4.0 Machines,\" which was presented at the WCE 2021 IAENG Congress (Best Paper Award of the 2021 International Conference of Systems Biology and Bioengineering). Result The results consist in: 1. an absolute disinfection system based on a reversible cycle Oxygen-Ozone-Oxygen, with quick re-habitability of the treated rooms, at a minimum treatment costs, without expensive and harmful chemicals or moist water vapor (incompatible by nature with paper and electronics); 2. a 4.0 device for quick detection of fever; 3. clear processes for disease spread prevention. Conclusion The target contribution was widely achieved, providing machinery, processes and procedures. The authors aim now to extend the solution proposed to any other type virus, bacteria, or pathogen agent introduced by subjects who, despite being unaware of acting as vectors, develop infection along their stay in hotels, offices or any other public place.","PeriodicalId":12941,"journal":{"name":"Health and Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134993821","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}
{"title":"Quantification of Parkinsonian unilateral involvement from ocular fixational patterns using a deep video representation","authors":"Juan Olmos, Brayan Valenzuela, Fabio Martínez","doi":"10.1007/s12553-023-00782-y","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12553-023-00782-y","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Purpose Lateralisation of motor symptoms is a prevalent characteristic of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Hence, unilateral involvement is crucial for personalized treatments and measuring therapy effectiveness. Nonetheless, most motor symptoms, including lateralization, are mainly evident at advanced stages of the disease. Recently, ocular fixation instability emerged as a promising PD biomarker with a high sensitivity to discriminate PD. We hypothesize that unilateral involvement can be recovered from the assessment and quantification of PD-related ocular abnormalities. Methods This method proposes a computer-based strategy to quantify PD lateralization from ocular fixation patterns. The method follows a markerless strategy fed by slices with spatiotemporal eye movement information. A deep convolutional model was used to discriminate between PD and a control population. Additionally, model prediction probabilities were analyzed to select the dominant eye associated with unilateral involvement. Results The proposed approach reports an average accuracy of 91.92% classifying PD. Interestingly, using the dominant side, the approach achieves an average PD prediction probability of 93.3% (95% CI: [91.61,95.07]), evidencing capabilities to capture the most affected side. Besides, the reported results strongly correlate with the disease, even for patients categorized at early stages. A low-dimensional projection tool was used to support the classification results by finding a 2d space that eases the discrimination among classes. Conclusions The strategy is sensitive to detecting and classifying PD fixational patterns and determining the side with major impairments. This approach may be a potential tool to support the characterization of the disease and as an alternative to defining personalized treatments.","PeriodicalId":12941,"journal":{"name":"Health and Technology","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135637796","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}
