A Tele-Health Communication and Information System for Underserved Children in Rural Areas of Nicaragua

Millennium Development Goals point out the necessity of actively promoting maternal-child health care status, especially in underserved areas. This article details the development actions carried out between 2008 and 2011 in some rural communities of Nicaragua with the aim to provide a low-cost tele-health communication service. The service is managed by the health care center of Cusmapa, which leads the program and maintains a communication link between its health staff and the health brigades of 26 distant communities. Local agents can use the system to report urgent maternal-child health care episodes to be assessed through WiMAX-WiFi voice and data communications attended by two physicians and six nurses located at the health care center. The health and nutritional status of the maternal-child population can be monitored to prevent diseases, subnutrition, and deaths. The action approach assumes the fundamentals of appropriate technology and looks for community- based, sustainable, replicable, and scalable solutions to ensure future deployments according to the strategies of the United Nations.

An ecological approach to anomaly detection: the EIA Model.

The presented work proposes a new approach for anomaly detection. This approach is based on changes in a population of evolving agents under stress. If conditions are appropriate, changes in the population (modeled by the bioindicators) are representative of the alterations to the environment. This approach, based on an ecological view, improves functionally traditional approaches to the detection of anomalies. To verify this assertion, experiments based on Network Intrussion Detection Systems are presented. The results are compared with the behaviour of other bioinspired approaches and machine learning techniques.

Latest developments in data analysis tools for disruption prediction and for the exploration of multimachine operational spaces.

In the last years significant efforts have been devoted to the development of advanced data analysis tools to both predict the occurrence of disruptions and to investigate the operational spaces of devices, with the long term goal of advancing the understanding of the physics of these events and to prepare for ITER. On JET the latest generation of the disruption predictor called APODIS has been deployed in the real time network during the last campaigns with the new metallic wall. Even if it was trained only with discharges with the carbon wall, it has reached very good performance, with both missed alarms and false alarms in the order of a few percent (and strategies to improve the performance have already been identified). Since for the optimisation of the mitigation measures, predicting also the type of disruption is considered to be also very important, a new clustering method, based on the geodesic distance on a probabilistic manifold, has been developed. This technique allows automatic classification of an incoming disruption with a success rate of better than 85%. Various other manifold learning tools, particularly Principal Component Analysis and Self Organised Maps, are also producing very interesting results in the comparative analysis of JET and ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) operational spaces, on the route to developing predictors capable of extrapolating from one device to another.

Validation tool for smart screening of language disorders in pediatrics care

Primary-care pediatricians could play a key role in early detection of development disorders as quick as they might have enough time and knowledge for suitable screenings at clinical routine. This research paper focuses on the development and validation of a knowledge-based web tool whose aim is to support a smart detection of developmental disorders in early childhood. Thus, the use of the system can trigger the necessary preventive and therapeutic actions from birth until the age of six. The platform was designed on the basis of an analysis of significant 21 cases of children with language disorders that supported the creation of a specific knowledge base, its ontology and a set of description logic relations. The resulting system is being validated in a scalable approach with a team of seven experts from the fields of neonathology, pediatrics, neurology and language therapy.

Development of a Knowledge Base for smart screening of language disorders in primary care

Monitoring of neuro-evolutive development from birth until the age of six is a decisive factor in a child's quality of life. Early detection of development disorders in early childhood can facilitate necessary diagnosis and/or treatment. Primary-care pediatricians play a key role in early detection of development alterations as they can undertake the preventive and therapeutic actions necessary in the interest of a child's optimal development. The focus of this research paper is the construction of a Knowledge Base for smart screening aimed to assist pediatricians in processes of early referral in language disorders. The proposed model provides health professionals with a decision-making tool that supports referral processes. In this way, essential diagnostic and/or therapeutic actions are triggered for a comprehensive individual development. The resulting system was developed on the basis of an analysis and verification of 21 cases of children with language disorders.

Requisitos en la infraestructura de red para servicios de comunicación entre paciente y centro sanitario

El presente Proyecto Fin de Carrera consiste en un estudio de los accesos a red que utilizan los servicios a los que están adscritos los usuarios de servicios de teleasistencia, planteando al final del mismo un modelo de previsión de caídas que permita que ese acceso a red no sea un problema para la prestación del servicio. Para poder llegar a los objetivos anteriormente descritos, iniciaremos este documento presentando qué se entiende actualmente como servicios de telemedicina y teleasistencia. Prestaremos atención a los actores que intervienen, usos y beneficios que tienen tanto para los pacientes como para las administraciones públicas. Una vez sepamos en qué consisten, centraremos la atención en las redes de acceso que se utilizan para prestar los servicios de telemedicina, con sus ventajas y desventajas. Puesto que no todos los servicios tienen los mismos requisitos generales de fiabilidad o velocidad de transmisión, veremos cómo se puede garantizar las necesidades de cada tipo de servicio por parte del proveedor de red. El siguiente paso para llegar a establecer el modelo de previsión de caídas será conocer las necesidades técnicas y de los actores para prestar un servicio de teleasistencia en el hogar de un paciente. Esto incluirá estudiar qué equipos se necesitan, cómo gestionarlos y cómo marcar el tráfico para que el operador de red sepa cómo tratarlo según el servicio de teleasistencia que se está utilizando, llevando a generar un modelo de supervisión de enlaces de teleasistencia. Llegados a este punto estaremos ya preparados para establecer un modelo de previsión de caídas de la conexión, describiendo la lógica que se necesite para ello, y poniéndolo en práctica con dos ejemplo concretos: un servicio de telemonitorización domiciliaria y otro servicio de telemonitorización ambulatoria. Para finalizar, realizaremos una recapitulación sobre lo estudiado en este documento y realizaremos una serie de recomendaciones. ABSTRACT. This Thesis is a study of the access network to be used with services assigned to patients that are users of telecare services. In the last chapter we will describe a fall forecasting model that allows the access network to not be an issue for the service. For achieving the objectives described above, this paper will begin with the presentation of what is now understood as telemedicine and telecare services. We pay attention to the actors involved, uses and benefits that they have both for patients and for public administrations. Once we know what telecare means and what requisites they have, we will focus on access networks which are used to provide telemedicine services, with their advantages and disadvantages. Since not all services have the same general requirements of reliability and transmission speed, we will try to see how you can ensure the needs of each type of service from the network provider's point of view. The next step is to establish that the forecasting model of falls will meet the technical needs and actors to provide telecare service in the home of a patient. This will include a study of what equipment is needed, how to manage and how to mark traffic for the network operator knowing how to treat it according to the telecare service being used, and this will lead us to the creation of a model of telecare link monitoring. At this point we are already prepared to establish a forecasting model of connection drops, describing the logic that is needed for this, and putting it into practice with two concrete examples: telemonitoring service and an ambulatory telemonitoring service. Finally, we will have a recap on what has been studied in this paper and will make a series of recommendations.

PREDIRCAM eHealth platform for individualized telemedical assistance for lifestyle modification in the treatment of obesity, diabetes, and cardiometabolic risk prevention: a pilot study (PREDIRCAM 1)

Background: Healthy diet and regular physical activity are powerful tools in reducing diabetes and cardiometabolic risk. Various international scientific and health organizations have advocated the use of new technologies to solve these problems. The PREDIRCAM project explores the contribution that a technological system could offer for the continuous monitoring of lifestyle habits and individualized treatment of obesity as well as cardiometabolic risk prevention. Methods: PREDIRCAM is a technological platform for patients and professionals designed to improve the effectiveness of lifestyle behavior modifications through the intensive use of the latest information and communication technologies. The platform consists of a web-based application providing communication interface with monitoring devices of physiological variables, application for monitoring dietary intake, ad hoc electronic medical records, different communication channels, and an intelligent notification system. A 2-week feasibility study was conducted in 15 volunteers to assess the viability of the platform. Results: The website received 244 visits (average time/session: 17 min 45 s). A total of 435 dietary intakes were recorded (average time for each intake registration, 4 min 42 s ± 2 min 30 s), 59 exercises were recorded in 20 heart rate monitor downloads, 43 topics were discussed through a forum, and 11 of the 15 volunteers expressed a favorable opinion toward the platform. Food intake recording was reported as the most laborious task. Ten of the volunteers considered long-term use of the platform to be feasible. Conclusions: The PREDIRCAM platform is technically ready for clinical evaluation. Training is required to use the platform and, in particular, for registration of dietary food intake.
