It started with the mandate to improve the recruitment and retention of Manitoba First Nation/Metis/Inuit people in the Faculty of Engineering by introducing a selection of supports to them. In order to improve the recruitment of First Nation/Metis/Inuit people into the Faculty of Engineering the prerequisite courses necessary for them to enter engineering have been waived while keeping the requirements to obtain a degree the same. First Nation/Metis/Inuit students that do not have the prerequisites to enter the engineering faculty are required to successfully complete upgrading (or preparatory) courses in mathematics, physics, computer programming and chemistry. In addition to the upgrading courses First Nation/Metis/Inuit student supports are comprised primarily of academic support, social support, financial aid, and personal support. First Nation/Metis/Inuit students entering the Engineering Access Program must also attend a mandatory summer orientation aimed at preparing them for University studies. The Engineering Access Program boasts 95 graduates of First Nation/Metis/Inuit descent that work throughout the western provinces in various areas.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"152 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131227472","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}

Our industry partner has developed a single-lead ECG machine for use by patients at home. Patients can then send these readings to remote doctors. The goal of the machines is to make medical expertise more accessible, affordable, and convenient. The ECGs recorded by patients with a single-lead suffer greatly from baseline wandering and high frequency noises, as compared to ECGs recorded with twelve-leads in a clinical setting. Accurate R-peak detection is an important step in ECG analysis. A variety of methods have been proposed in the past against standard clinical twelve-lead ECG recordings. In this study, we propose a new R-peak detection algorithm for single-lead mobile ECG recordings. Our area-based approach is built on the understanding that QRS complexes are typically narrow and tall, resulting in large areas over the curve around these locations. Our algorithm is simple to implement, computationally efficient, and does not require any signal pre-processing. This conceptual simplicity is a quality that distinguishes our approach from existing solutions. We evaluated our algorithm against data collected by patients from single-lead portable devices, and yielded 99.4% precision and 99.4% recall. The MIT/BIT Arrhythmia Database of twelve-lead clinical ECG recordings was also used to verify our algorithm. On this dataset we obtained a precision of 99.3% and recall of 98.6%.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134516501","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}

In India, it is being addressed through National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). Though Government is taking huge efforts, considering the vast geographic area and less Doctors: Patient ratio, there is a gap in health-care delivery. To address this challenge, mHEALTH-PHC - mobile based remote health-care delivery platform was developed and piloted. This platform enabled health workers to digitize the patient's data and ask questions to doctors. Doctors could see the questions along with the data and give appropriate answers. This experiment was conducted for more than a year for a set of approximately 300 expecting mothers in one of the most under-developed and remote regions of the state. Since this was one of the early initiatives in rural health-care delivery, it was a very good learning experience. There were excellent interactions and feedback from the ground level health workers. An innovative \"Participative Design\" approach was used for this purpose. This paper captures the experience of designing a health care application for rural India, the tools and methodologies used, issues faced and how these were resolved. The paper also discusses the strategies used for optimizing the fairly large set of information to suit small form factor of mobile screens without losing data fidelity, categorization and prioritization. The design was then translated to mobile based application. Analysis of usage by the health workers, their experience and impact on overall health delivery process was also studied.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115060449","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}
