Guidance to 2018 good practice: ARIA digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care for rhinitis and asthma
2019
AIMS: Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK (MASK) belongs to the Fondation Partenariale MACVIA-LR of Montpellier, France and aims to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the life cycle, whatever their gender or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequities incurred by the disease and to improve the digital transformation of health and care. The ultimate goal is to change the management strategy in chronic diseases. METHODS: MASK implements ICT technologies for individualized and predictive medicine to develop novel care pathways by a multi-disciplinary group centred around the patients. STAKEHOLDERS: Incl…
Work-Family Border Styles and Mobile Technology
2018
Technological innovations and particularly mobile technology have many, complex implications for social life. All in all, mobile technology creates a paradox for employed parents: mobile phones enable better coordination and lower parents’ anxiety over family routines, yet the use of mobile technology increases the need for multitasking and increases the emotional burden of managing multiple roles. It is important to identify differences between workers as not everyone is able to use the possibilities of constant connectivity. This chapter addresses two interlinked topics: first, the possibility for employed parents to occupy different social domains concurrently with mobile technology and …
Mobile agent application fields
2004
Publisher Summary Mobile agents are a recent paradigm for software design, which extends object oriented programming features. An agent can perform its task autonomously; a mobile agent can carry out complex tasks that require the agent to migrate from a network place to another one. Mobile agent application fields are many. It can replace web services in other cases, mobile agents and web services can be an effective solution together. The chapter discusses the three mobile agent application fields, which are: parallel and distributed computing, data mining and information retrieval, and networking. An overview of the development platforms is also discussed. Data mining and information ret…
Citizen-Patient Involvement in the Development of mHealth Technology: Protocol for a Systematic Scoping Review
2020
Background The development of mobile technology for information retrieval and communication, both at individual and health organizational levels, has been extensive over the last decade. Mobile health (mHealth) technology is rapidly adapting to the health care service contexts to improve treatment, care, and effectiveness in health care services. Objective The overall aim of this scoping review is to explore the role of citizen-patient involvement in the development of mHealth technology in order to inform future interventions. By identifying key characteristics of citizen-patient involvement in system development, we aim to improve digital communication and collaboration between health ca…
Utilizing digital tools to support face-to-face care : Examining uptake within the practices of Australian psychologist
2020
Societal adoption of mobile phones and other digital devices, and the resulting widespread digital literacy, allows for new possibilities in approaching and supporting faceto-face therapy. In this study, we examined the application of digital communication tools and media within therapeutic care by 33 psychologists across Australia. Uses of digital technologies were analyzed with a focus on both the approaches applied within face-to-face therapy sessions and those occurring as an adjunct to these sessions. In contrast to online counseling, established upon a foundation of digital technologies, the study results indicate that the use of technology in face-to-face therapy is still emerging bu…
Smart Technologies for the Environmental Design of Smaller Urban Centres
2020
The present study focuses on welfare measures and specifically on healthcare. The challenge we would like to accept is to provide efficient healthcare to residents in an isolated area without health services, maintaining the same level of healthcare ensured by hospitals. The innovative design, that we want to experience, is closely linked to the use of ICT, information and communication technologies, because these technologies would be able to perform autonomously multiple functions, using remote control. Telemedicine or “virtual health” is a particular branch of ICT that can improve future quality of living in a marginal urban center as a tool to ensure prompt access to expert advice, as w…
Escenarios tecnológicos con dispositivos móviles para la acción educativa. Tendencias y vínculos con la imagen
2021
Presentamos un acercamiento a los escenarios educativos con TIC en la actualidad, en concreto tecnologías portables y modelos pedagógicos de colaboración complementarios a ellas, propios del constructivismo. La capacidad de aprendizaje que estos pueden llegar a suscitar, en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar, refleja una realidad tangible en nuestra sociedad móvil. Nos referimos a los PLE Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje, BYOD Bring Your Own Device, la Gamificación, Flipped Classroom y la Realidad Aumentada y la Realidad Virtual. Se realiza una revisión de literatura de propuestas pedagógicas destacables, a través de algunos de los principales actores que las abordan en España. En cad…
Mobile Search - Social Network Search Using Mobile Devices
2008
During the last years progress in Web search engines has been made to the point that relevant information can be reached easily most of the time. However very little empirical research has been carried to study Web search in highly dynamic social network environments composed of mobile devices. The aim of this work was therefore to investigate novel approaches that took advantage of the social network environment inherent to mobile peer-to-peer paradigm. The work focused mainly on the development of a prototype for mobile search concept. The prototype was built on top of Drupal content site management system. This study suggests that the methods presented can be a complement to traditional …
Secure Collaborative Learning Practices and Mobile Technology
2008
During the past few years, mobile technologies have become common in everyday life. Almost everyone carry some kind of mobile technological equipment with him or her, for example a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a multimedia player, such as an iPod, or a laptop computer. The use of these equipments is not limited only to workplaces, schools or homes. Particularly useful information and communication technologies (ICTs) are in educational settings. Especially wireless networks and laptop computers may promote many useful practices of collaborative learning (Cutshall, Changchit, & Elwood, 2006; Jones, Holmfeld, & Lindström, 2006). On the one hand, the use of mobile …
Electronic Commerce Transactions in a Mobile Computing Environment
2002
Internet E-commerce has been flourishing for the last few years, especially with the advent of World Wide Web. Mobile Electronic Commerce (MEC) has started recently to appear in the scene. It exploits the advantages of Internet, mobile computing and mobile communications in order to provide a large number of advanced services to mobile users. The potentials of MEC are enormous while related technical, business and legal issues become more complicated. The goal of this chapter is to present and discuss problems and identify requirements associated with the trading and billing of tangible and intangible goods in a mobile environment where mobile handheld devices are used for conducting the tr…
