Does using the sociodental approach in oral health care influence use of dental services and oral health of adolescents living in deprived communitie…
2023
Background Oral health needs assessment is important for oral health care planning. This study compared dental treatment needs between normative and sociodental needs. We also longitudinally examined the relationships of baseline sociodental needs measures and socioeconomic status with one-year follow up measures of use of dental services, dental caries, filled teeth, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods A prospective study was conducted with 12-year-old adolescents from public schools in deprived communities in the city of Manaus, Brazil. Validated questionnaires were used to collect adolescents’ sex and socioeconomic status, OHRQoL (CPQ11−14) and behaviours (sugar int…
Land Body Ecologies: A case study for global transdisciplinary collaboration at the intersections of environment and mental health
2023
Land Body Ecologies (LBE) is a global, transdisciplinary research group seeking to understand the mental health dimensions of minority, Indigenous and other land-dependent communities’ relationship to ecologies in a changing environment. We posit that our project is a successful case of global transdisciplinary collaboration that can serve as an example for others. In this paper we present: (1) an overview of our project structure across various disciplines and geographies; (2) a description of how we manage day-to-day operations and decision-making; (3) details of how we operationalise collaboration through examples from three key areas – creative methodologies, language considerations and…

Ontology-based clinical decision support system applied on diabetes
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Medical diagnosis is a multi-step process which is complex as it requires the consideration of many factors. Additionally, the accuracy of diagnosis varies depending on the skill and knowledge a physician has in the medical field. Using ICT solution, the physicians can be assisted so that they can make an accurate decision. Many applications have been developed to enhance physician performance and improve the patient outcome, however, the quality of these applications varies depending on knowledge representation methodology and reasoning approach adopted. Nowadays, ontology is being used in many clin…
INTELLIGENT ROBOTIC REHABILITATION THROUGH A HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION : A starting point for a robotic infrastructure which can be an aid for physioth…
2021
Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) This thesis contains a starting point for a robotic infrastructure which can be an aid for physiotherapists by issuing and adjusting assistive or resistive exercises. With added equipment for specialized operations, the Halodi EVEr3 Robot could be utilized as a basis for this kind of infrastructure. When a physiotherapist is performing a lower extremity rehabilitative movement on a patient, theEVEr3 robot could record this behaviour and mimic it for a desired number of repetitions. The design of a prototype is thought to be done safely as a collaboration with healthcare professionals.
Velferdsteknologi i koronaens tid – Starten på et nytt helsevesen?
2021
Master´s thesis in Helath Informatics- full time (HSI501) Jeg jobber i helsevesenet og har i de siste årene fått mer ansvar når det gjelder IKT på arbeidsplassen. I den forbindelse ønsket jeg å se nærmere på bruken av velferdsteknologiske verktøy innen psykisk helsevern i Norge. Hvilke tilbud finnes, og hvor effektive er disse? Dette er noen av spørsmålene jeg ønsket å besvare i løpet av denne oppgaven. Jeg tok derfor utgangspunkt i følgende problemstlling: Hva må til for å øke bruken av velferdsteknologi innen psykisk helsevern? Hva er helsepersonells forhold til velferdsteknologi, og hvilke faktorer må ligge til rette for å sikre god implementering? Hensikten med prosjektet er å undersøke…

User-centred Design with a Remote Approach: Experiences from the Chronic Pain Project
2020
User-centred design involves end-users or user groups during all the parts of the development process. The research project Chronic Pain aims to develop a shared decision making application for patients and physicians, addressing individually adapted pain treatment. The project employs a user-centred design process, and in middle of it, Covid-19 pandemic social distancing restrictions were imposed. This paper presents how the user-centred design process together with a patient organisation was transformed to a digital approach and the experiences from performing a remote co-creation user workshop. The digital approximation had a satisfactory result and the main contribution lies in the shar…
