Trajectory-based and Sound-based Medical Data Clustering
2022
Challenges in medicine are often faced as interdisciplinary endeav- ors. In such an interdisciplinary view, sonification of medical data provides an additional sensory dimension to highlight often hard- to-find information and details. Some examples of sonification of medical data include Covid genome mapping [5], auditory repre- sentations of tridimensional objects as the brain [4], enhancement of medical imagery through the use of sound [1]. Here, we focus on kidney filtering-efficiency time-evolution data. We consider the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the main indicator of kidney efficiency in diabetic kidney disease patients.1 We propose a technique to sonify the eGFR tra…
Gamifying Teacher Students’ Learning Platform
2020
This paper presents initial results from a study exploring teacher students’ experiences related to the gamification of an online learning platform in higher education. The aim was to get an understanding of the participants’ views regarding the use of game elements and to examine the user type profile of this group in order to explore the potential of applying user types in planning gamification solutions for teacher students. The participants’ overall experience of having game elements as part of their course platform was principally positive. User types students presented were investigated using the Hexad scale adapted from game design: in this user group, Socialiser and Philanthropist w…
