This requires not only the influx of medical staff and supplies, but also requires maintaining individual health care records and enabling the ability to collect, analyze and aggregate data in the field to customize care to the local needs of the community, and to provide continuity of care to its citizens. The recent rise of adoption of standards for electronic health records (EHR) provides an alternative to using paper forms in mobile health clinics that often serve these countries. In this paper, we describe an open-source, standards-based health assessment software application developed by the non-profit organization Health Records For Everyone (HR4E) and field tested in a mobile health clinic in rural Ethiopia in the fall of 2011. The application allows mobile health clinic staff to quickly deploy medical clinics and collect patient data electronically in the face of various environmental challenges. In addition to producing electronic patient records which are validated in-field using HL7's Clinical Document Architecture standard, the application allows medical practitioners to view and summarize patient data for in-field analysis.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130339855","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}

Bryden","doi":"10.1109/GHTC.2012.56","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/GHTC.2012.56","url":null,"abstract":"Cookstove adoption and cookstove use are two conditions that are not commonly considered when comparing the cost and benefit of rural energy options. This study uses field data on improved cookstoves implemented in a rural West African village to estimate the impact of alternative cooking options prevalent today. Because approximately one-half of women own more than one cookstove, and use each of the stoves, it is unlikely that any single cookstove option will replace the three-stone fire. If current cooking trends are maintained, the fuelwood savings of village-wide implementation would thus be a mere 6.4% of the rated cookstove savings for a small single-burner cookstove that is partially adopted and only used for some cooking tasks. Even if the small single-burner cookstove was used for all meals less than the observed maximum cooking capacity of 18 kg, this village-wide savings would only amount to one-third of the rated cookstove fuelwood savings. The derated fuelwood savings based on stove stacking is expected to more closely approximate the realized fuelwood savings of a cookstove program rather than the idealized case of 100% adoption and 100% replacement. Additional discussion on investment impact-fuelwood displaced per dollar invested-is provided for four cookstove options. The high investment impact of the artisan improved cookstove and the next generation single-pot cookstove suggests they be chosen for implementation, yet the long lifetime of the institutional cookstove may be an attractive option for onetime funders.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128866724","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 paper heeds to first understand the multi-fold humanitarian issues, which are compounded by the digital divide between developed and developing nations. The techniques of measuring these digital divides and technological progress of nations are briefed, followed by an analysis of their impact on the national development. The major findings indicate that the technology advancements are not uniform across the globe; instead the growth is country & region specific. For the spacefaring developing nations having huge geographical coverage like India & China, the satellite technology with its specific advantages is still preferable as the most suitable technology to the reach the unreached. As a successful case study, the paper outlines the decades of efforts put by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) towards effective utilisation of satellite technology for humanitarian applications like Tele-Education, Tele-Medicine, Village Resource Centres, etc. In recognition to its efforts, ISRO is also conferred with `Manthan Award' for directly contributing to societal development. At the end, a roadmap to future sustainable models is also indicated.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129857327","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}

We have developed a simple and robust autofluorescence (AF) laboratory device that uses the dental AF spectra from 405 nm and 532 nm laser excitation and computes a ratio of the integrated areas of the spectra. Ten human extracted teeth with early stage natural caries lesions and an additional 8 human extracted teeth with artificially created erosion lesions were used for the study. The 405/532 nm AF ratio was obtained from healthy as well as unhealthy enamel regions for all teeth. A clear distinction between the ratios for healthy enamel and unhealthy enamel was seen. A percent change in 405/532 nm AF ratio of 62% was seen between natural white spot lesions and healthy enamel, with progressively more severe lesions leading to greater percent changes in AF ratios. The 405/532 nm AF ratio is a promising technique that may be used to detect the presence of early stage dental caries and triage high risk children. A cost effective clinical device can be developed which utilizes the proposed technique to screen children in underserved communities.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129732659","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}
