Healthcare Computer Reasoning Addressing Chronically Ill Societies Using IoT: Deep Learning AI to the Rescue of Home-Based Healthcare

The authors present a proposal to develop intelligent assisted living environments for home based healthcare. These environments unite the chronical patient clinical history sematic representation with the ability of monitoring the living conditions and events recurring to a fully managed Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). Several levels of acquired knowledge and the case based reasoning that is possible by knowledge representation of the health-disease history and acquisition of the scientific evidence will deliver, through various voice based natural interfaces, the adequate support systems for disease auto management but prominently by activating the less differentiated caregiver for any specific need. With these capabilities at hand, home based healthcare providing becomes a viable possibility reducing the institutionalization needs. The resulting integrated healthcare framework will provide significant savings while improving the generality of health and satisfaction indicators.

Sistemas de produção de peixes e bivalves em aquacultura: crescimento e indicadores de qualidade

O presente relatório refere-se ao estágio curricular realizado na Estação Piloto de Piscicultura de Olhão, no período compreendido entre janeiro e julho de 2016, no âmbito do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de Évora. Este trabalho divide-se em duas partes. A primeira parte descreve as atividades e respetiva casuística desenvolvidas nas diferentes áreas de produção aquícola. Na segunda parte é abordado o tema “Produção Aquícola de Peixes e Ostras em regime Semi-intensivo”, onde são enquadrados os conceitos relacionados com aquacultura, sistemas de produção e pesquisa de biomarcadores na qualidade e bem-estar animal. São ainda descritas as ações de acompanhamento, durante o estágio, de um projeto de investigação em sistemas de produção em tanques de terra exteriores e um caso clínico. Este relatório atesta a importância da Medicina Preventiva em aquacultura; Abstract: Fish and bivalve aquaculture production systems: growth and quality indicators The following report was elaborated after the externship conducted at the Olhão Pilot Aquaculture Station, between January and July of 2016, in order to fulfill the requirements for a Masters degree in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Évora. This report is divided in two parts. The first part contains a description of the developed activities and the casuistic at the different aquaculture production areas. The second part will focus on the development of the theme “Fish and Oyster aquaculture production in a semi-intensive culture system”, with a theoretical framework about aquaculture concepts, production systems and identifying biomarkers in animal healthcare. At last, are presented and supported the monitoring actions taken in an investigation study case about inshore production systems and a clinic case followed during the externship. This report attests the importance of Preventive Medicine in aquaculture.
