The main goal is to provide dental clinics with a model that enables introducing a stress management service into everyday practice and provides patients with a better experience in a typically stressful situation. The approach is based on employing wearable sensors for monitoring physiological parameters, and a mobile application for progressive muscle relaxation therapy. Dental patients were divided into experimental and control groups. Participants from the experimental group were treated with progressive muscle relaxation through mobile health application with audio content, and patients from the control group were not exposed to any relaxation method. Heart rate was measured in both groups through three test phases: pre-intervention, intervention, and post-intervention. Evaluation of the anxiety level was performed using the STAI test. Results show that the measured heart rate in the post-intervention phase is lower than in the intervention phase in both testing groups, as well as in the pre-intervention phase. STAI scores were significantly higher in the control group through all test phases. The research found that the proposed system applied to dentist patients may relieve their anxiety symptoms and decrease stress level, which improves the patients' experience and leads to higher patients' satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":54984,"journal":{"name":"Informatics for Health & Social Care","volume":"46 3","pages":"306-319"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17538157.2021.1893322","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25533502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is based on heart sound data collected in the clinic and from medical books. The heart sound signals were first preprocessed into a grayscale image of 5 seconds. The training samples were then used to train and optimize the convolutional neural network; obtaining a training result with an accuracy of 95.17% and a loss value of 0.23. Finally, the convolutional neural network was used to test the test set samples. The results showed an accuracy of 94.80%, sensitivity of 94.29%, specificity of 95.54%, precision of 93.44%, F1_score of 93.84%, and an AUC of 0.943. Compared with other algorithms, the accuracy and sensitivity of the algorithms were improved. This shows that the method used in this study can effectively classify heart sound signals and could prove useful in assisting heart sound auscultation.","PeriodicalId":54984,"journal":{"name":"Informatics for Health & Social Care","volume":"46 3","pages":"320-332"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17538157.2021.1893736","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25571451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, inaccurate information may create confusion. Given this, the present research is aimed at analyzing the content, accuracy, and appropriateness of the YouTube videos on OCD. The quality of the YouTube videos on OCD, in terms of accuracy of the information provided, was assessed. Out of 330 videos, resulting from various search terms, 82 were found to be suitable for analysis. The videos were assessed for the accuracy of presented content on clinical symptoms, biological underpinnings, and treatment (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) as well as their educational utility. Majority of the videos provided accurate description of obsessions (82.9%) and compulsions (74.4%) and 21.9% of the videos mentioned biological underpinnings of OCD. Treatment options, both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, were mentioned in 32.71% and 41.5% of the videos, respectively. Overall, 69.5% of the videos had useful educational utility.

Nonetheless, the integration of users is often hard to realize - especially when dealing with persons with chronic diseases. In addition, patients or users in general often are not able to formulate the requirements in a technical manner. Therefore, even if user requirements are collected, it is not certain that the developers know or understand 'what is really wanted'. To overcome these 'gaps', we have developed so-called Action Sheets (AS). This article presents the use of AS in two projects: the development of health technologies for people with cancer (INFOPAT) and dementia (QuartrBack). Depending on the project context, group sessions were conducted with different stakeholders to identify the needs of (potential) users. Within the INFOPAT project, ten focus groups were conducted with patients, physicians and other healthcare professionals. In QuartrBack stakeholders like e.g. care professionals, technical assistance organizations and citizens participated in two focus groups and three world cafés. Their requirements were then 'fed' into the technology development by the use of AS. AS appear to be a promising tool to make user needs based on social values more tangible and implementable into technology development processes. In addition, it shows up that four phases seem to be necessary for transferring identified user and stakeholder needs into AS, which can therefore be seen as essential to translate non-technically formulated requirements into technically feasible ones. The case study shows as lessons learned that despite the successful integration of user needs, context-sensitive adjustments are still necessary.","PeriodicalId":54984,"journal":{"name":"Informatics for Health & Social Care","volume":"46 2","pages":"113-125"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17538157.2020.1865968","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38789246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
