Abstract:
Summary Objectives: This paper intends to investigate the role of virtual reality (VR) in medicine. In particular it outlines the current state of research and technology that is relevant to the development of effective virtual environments in medicine. Methods: After describing the two different visions of VR we can find in medicine – the presentation of virtual objects to all of the human senses in a way identical to their natural counterpart, and a new human-computer interaction paradigm in which users are active participants within a computer-generated three-dimensional virtual world – the paper presents some of the most interesting applications actually developed in the area. Finally, it discusses the clinical principles, technological devices and safety issues associated with the use of VR in medicine. Results: With more than 1,000 VR papers already indexed in Medline, VR is a reality health care. Even if the number of controlled studies is still limited, its merging with emerging technologies like Ambient Intelligence and wireless communication will further improve its diffusion. Conclusions: The possible impact of VR on health care could be even higher than the one offered by the new communication technologies like Internet. In fact, VR is at the same tima technology, a communication interface and an experience: a communication interface based on interactive 3D visualization, able to collect and integrate in single real-like experience different inputs and data sets. However, significant efforts are still required to move VR into commercial success and therefore routine clinical use.

Abstract:
Computer-based information and communication technologies continue to transform the delivery of health care and the conception and scientific understanding of the human body and the diseases that afflict it. While information technology has the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of patient care, it also raises important ethical and social issues. This IRIE theme issue seeks to provide a forum to identify, analyse and discuss the ethical and social issues raised by various applications of information and communication technology in medicine and health care. The contributions give a flavour of the extraordinarily broad landscape shaped by the intersection of medicine, computing and ethics. In fact, their diversity suggests that much more work is needed to clarify issues and approaches, and to provide practical tools for clinicians.

Abstract:
Siddha System of medicine is the ancient traditional system. The word Siddha means accomplished or perfect.‘ The food itself is medicine and medicine itself is food’ is one of the basic principles of the Siddha system of Medicine. Siddha Medicine not only acts as a curative and also as a preventive measure. Ancient Siddhars’ (Founders of the Siddha system) described Mother care includes Antenatal, Postnatal, and also child care. The Tamil Nadu Government introduced the ‘Amma Magaperu SanjeeviScheme’ for antenatal and postnatal care. During pregnancy we have to take care of a mother, she gets stressed and fears due to various factors such as hormonal changes in the body, increase in body weight, etc. So Siddha system helps to prevent miscarriage and facilitates normal vaginal delivery. In Kuzhanthai Maruthuvam(Siddha Pediatric) Siddha's traditional formulation Urai Mathirai(Tablet) is advised for infants and children.

Abstract:
Introduction: Currently, the deployment of human–computer interactive technologies to provide personalized care has grown and immensely taken shape in most healthcare settings. With the increasing growth of the internet and technology, personalized health interventions including smartphones, associated apps, and other interventions demonstrate prowess in various health fields, including cardiovascular management. This systematic review thus examines the effectiveness of various human–computer interactions technologies through telehealth (mainly eHealth) towards optimizing the outcomes in cardiovascular treatment. Methods: A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases using key terms was conducted from 2000 to November 2021 to identify suitable studies that explored the use of human–computer interaction technologies to provide a personalized care approach to facilitate bolstered outcomes for cardiovascular patients, including the elderly. The included studies were assessed for quality and risk of bias, and the authors undertook a data extraction task. Results: Ten studies describing the use of a mix of personalized health app (mHealth) interventions were identified and included in the study. Among the included studies, nine of them were randomized trials. All of the studies demonstrated the effectiveness of various personalized health interventions in maximizing the benefits of cardiovascular disease treatment. Conclusions: Personalized health application interventions through precision medicine has great potential to boost cardiovascular disease management outcomes, including rehabilitation. Fundamentally, since each intervention’s focus might differ based on the disease and outcome preference, it is recommended that more research be done to tailor the interventions to specific disease and patient outcome expectations.

Abstract:
The tripartite mission of ‘academic medicine’ is education, research, and patient care. Academic medical centers (AMCs) are carrying out the mission and ultimately aiming to improve the health of people and communities. Globally, AMCs are facing a tremendous financial risk stemming from the changes in health insurance reimbursement plans and a shortage of human resources. Innovative AMCs in the United States are trying to transform their physician-centered, and siloed structure into a patient-centered, and integrated structure. They are also building integrated systems with primary healthcare groups to provide continuous patient care from primary to tertiary levels and making strategic networks based on value-based payment and the patient-centered model. These changes have been proven to improve outcomes of patient care and increase fiscal revenues, which are both crucial in supporting education and research. To address the shortage of human resources, programs are being built to develop newly appointed faculty for the future. AMCs have different approaches to bringing changes into their organizations; however, there is a common emphasis on ‘a patient-centered approach,’ which helps them set more explicit organizational values and make strategic decisions based on their values. Korean AMCs are facing similar challenges to AMCs in the United States in spite of many differences between the countries’ healthcare systems. The innovative efforts of AMCs in the United States to address the challenges will be helpful, well-worked examples for Korean AMCs with similar challenges.

Abstract: This project can benefit from the use of data mining techniques in a variety of fields, including science, medicine, and education. Because of laws and computer accessibility, a lot of data is now available in the medical and health care sectors. It is no longer necessary to handle such a large amount of data at once because of the significant advancements in computer technology made by modern technology. Evaluating data mining methods for clinical and healthcare applications is one of the paper's main goals, which aims to facilitate informed decision-making. In the world of computers, this well-known and potent technology is highly sought after. It is a branch of computer science that creates new research and findings from data that is already available in various databases. It extracts new patterns from massive data sets and the knowledge associated with these patterns by utilizing Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and database management techniques. This method can be used to extract data automatically or semi-automatically. Clustering, forecasting, path analysis, and predictive analysis are some of the various parameters used in data mining.

Abstract:
This paper discusses pervasive computing work in the transition from traditional health care programs to personalised health systems (pHealth). A chronological guided transition survey is discussed to highlight trends in medicine describing their most recent developments about health care systems. Future trends in this interdisciplinary techno-medical area are described as research goals. Particularly, research and technological efforts concerning ICT’s and pervasive computing in healthcare and medical applications are presented to identify systems requirements supporting secure and reliable networks and services. The main objectives are to summarise both the pHealth systems requirements providing end-user applications and the necessary pervasive computing support to interconnect device-based health care applications and distributed information data systems in secure and reliable forms, highlighting the role pervasive computing plays in this process. A generic personalised healthcare scheme is introduced to provide guidance in the transition and can be used for multiple medical and health applications. An example is briefly introduced by using the generic scheme proposed.

Abstract:
This dissertation deals with three problems in health care. In the first, we consider the incentives to change prices and capital levels at hospitals, using optimal control under the assumption that private payers charge higher prices if patients consume more hospital services. The main results are that even with fixed technology, investment and prices exhibit explosive growth, and that prices and capital stock grow in proportion to one another. In the second chapter, we study the flow of nosocomial infections in an intensive care unit. We use data from Cook County Hospital, along with numerous results from the literature, to construct a discrete event simulation. This model highlights emergent properties from treating the flow of patients and pathogens in one interconnected system, and sheds light on how nosocomial infections relate to hospital costs. We find that the system is not decomposable to individual systems, exhibiting behavior that would be difficult to explain in isolation. In the third chapter, we analyze a proposed change in diversion policies at hospitals, in order to increase the number of patients served, without an increase in resources. Overcrowding in hospital emergency departments is caused in part by the inability to send patients to main hospital wards, due to limited capacity. When a hospital is completely full, the hospital often goes on ambulance diversion, until some spare capacity has opened up. Diversion is costly, and often leads to waves of diversions in systems of hospitals, a situation that is regarded as highly problematic in public health. We construct and analyze a continuous-time Markov chain model for one hospital. The intuition behind the model is that load-balancing between various hospitals in a metro area may hinder full congestion. We find that a more flexible contract may benefit all parties, through the partial diversion of federally insured patients, when a hospital is very close to full. Discrete event simulation models are run to assess the effect, using data from DeKalb Medical Center, and also to show that in a two-hospital system, more federally insured patients are served using this mechanism.

Abstract:
Electronic patient records, containing data about the health and care of a patient, are a valuable source of information for longitudinal clinical studies. The General Practice Research Database (GPRD) has collected patient records from UK primary care practices since the late 1980s. These records contain both structured data (in the form of codes and numeric values) and free text notes. While the structured data have been used extensively in clinical studies, there are significant practical obstacles in extracting information from the free text notes. The main obstacles are data access restrictions, due to the presence of sensitive information, and the specific language of medical practitioners, which renders standard language processing tools ineffective. The aim of this research is to investigate approaches for computer analysis of free text notes. The research involved designing a primary care text corpus (the Harvey Corpus) annotated with syntactic chunks and clinically-relevant semantic entities, developing a statistical chunking model, and devising a novel method for applying machine learning for entity recognition based on chunk annotation. The tools produced would facilitate reliable information extraction from primary care patient records, needed for the development of clinically-related research. The three medical concept types targeted in this thesis could contribute to epidemiological studies by enhancing the detection of co-morbidities, and better analysing the descriptions of patient experiences and treatments. The main contributions of the research reported in this thesis are: guidelines for chunk and concept annotation of clinical text, an approach to maximising agreement between human annotators, the Harvey Corpus, a method for using a standard part-of-speech tagging model in clinical text chunking, and a novel approach to recognising clinically relevant medical concepts.

Abstract:
Social media are dynamic tools that have allowed virtual socialization and dialogue to emerge on the Internet. Although the term is often used synonymously with social networking and web 2.0, social media have penetrated intra-personal and professional communication extensively and their use has become essentially tacit knowledge among teenagers, and increasingly in the general population. To date, the value of social media to health professionals as a tool for clinical activity and in public health has not been extensively studied. Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, Flickr, Mashups and Second Life are no longer obscure words in the vocabularies of highly technical people. These spaces are starting to replace face-to-face interaction in a large majority of populations and institutions. Healthcare has not been isolated from this trend. The evidence base for the use of social media is rising exponentially, with applications in medical education, collaboration, surveillance, clinical trials, public health, and health services research. However, the comprehensive documentation of how, where and why these tools are affecting health(care) is not well documented. This thesis provides a comprehensive review of the impact of social media in medicine and health(care). Chapter 1 provides an overview of the conceptual and theoretical frameworks, along with the assumptions, that guide the use of social media in the health domain. Chapter 2 synthesizes the what, where, when, how and why social media are being adopted, structured according to the different functionalities of social media. These include blogs, microblogs, social networking, professional and thematic networking, wikis, media sharing tools, mashups, collaborative filtering/bookmarking and other social media (e.g., Second Life). Chapter 2 also discusses a series of clinical implications and recommendations for stakeholders wishing to engage these dynamic spaces. Chapter 3 reviews three recent administrative and judicial cases that have emerged from the inappropriate use of social media and Chapter 4 concludes with the main implications of and significance of the findings. Further research is clearly required to solidify the evidence on the use of social media in health care and to explore and document its economic, clinical, governance and tactical impact and utility.

Abstract:

US asthma prevalence increased by five million in the last decade and health care spending for the disease increased from $53 billion to $56 billion. Children are more likely than adults to have an asthma attack and its estimated that 1-in-10 youth has asthma. Despite initiatives to promote adherence to practice guidelines, childhood asthma emergency room) visits, and hospitalizations remain steady while the number of asthma deaths have increased over a 17-year period. Preliminary studies find the majority of adolescents prefer smartphones as a means of education and guidance. A modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) survey was comprised of 15 statements that explored providers’ acceptance of smartphone applications (apps) as an adjunct strategy for management of asthma among adolescents in the outpatient setting. Current insight in adolescent asthma demonstrates multifaceted disparities in care stemming from biological and developmental transitions unique to adolescents. The quantitative, descriptive design of the project assessed two factors integral to the TAM related to provider acceptance and perception: 1) Perceived use (PU), and 2) Perceived ease of use (PEU). The survey sample consisted of 18 providers. Overwhelmingly, the majority of providers surveyed favored use of a smartphone app for adolescent asthma and believed apps had the potential to improve the quality of adolescent asthma management. Most participants agreed; smartphone apps might help accomplish benchmarks for adolescent asthma management. Numerous studies demonstrate adolescents’ preference for technological interventions for self-management of their asthma symptoms. The survey results reinforce the willingness of providers to accept asthma smartphone apps as a potential adjunct management strategy for adolescent asthma. Additional studies involving providers are required to further explore provider attitudes of acceptance and rejection relating to smartphone apps for chronic health conditions.

Developing native applications for different platforms with different resolutions and screen sizes is both time consuming and costly. If developers were able to develop one web based application which can be used on multiple platforms, yet retain the same level of security as a native application, they would be able to reduce both development time and costs. In this thesis we will investigate the possibilities of achieving a level of security in a web-based application that can equal that of a native application, as well as how to develop an application that uses the Mina Vårdkontakter (My Healthcare Contacts) framework.

Abstract:
With the increasing elderly population and longer life expectancies, smart wearable technologies are playing an important role in facilitating caregivers to monitor elderly people remotely. Aifloo’s wristband is one smart wristband which can collect various data, predict activities and detect abnormalities to enable elderly people to live independently at home. However, too much information and poor visualizations will cause huge difficulties for caregivers to interpret the data. Six caregivers were interviewed in this study to investigate what data is relevant to monitor elderly people and how they interpret the different designed displays. The main results show that alarms, fall incidents and medication compliance are the most important. Besides, caregivers place a greater emphasis on holistic views of data and they want to highlight abnormal behaviors and alerts. In the end, design guidelines for the information system to present data meaningfully and intuitively are generated.
Med ett ökande antal äldre och en ökande medellivslängd kommer smart, bärbar teknologi att spela en större roll i äldrevården för att övervaka de äldre. Aifloos armband är en smart teknologi som kan samla in olika former av data, förutsäga aktiviteter och upptäcka avvikande och onormala beteenden, vilket kan användas av äldre som bor självständiga i sena egna hem. Stora mängder data, och dåliga visualiseringar av dem, orsakar svårigheter för vårdgivare att tolka datan. I den här studien har sex vårdgivare intervjuats för att utforska vilken data som är relevant för dem, och hur de kan tolka information ifrån en grupp olika gränssnitt. Studiens resultat visar att alarm, fallolyckor och översikt över hur de äldre efterföljer sina medicinska recept är viktigast. Vårdgivarna lägger en större vikt vid att förstå datan holistiskt, och de vill synliggöra avvikande beteendemönster och varningar. Slutgiltligen presenteras riktlinjer för hur IT-system kan designas för att presentera data på ett meningsfullt och intuitivt vis.

Abstract:
The story starts long ago, with the gradual conceptualization of knowledge as an encyclopaedia—a circle of learning. This chapter traces a path from the invention of medicine in classical times, through philosophy, language and logic, and through mathematics, natural science and computer science into the modern era of information technology and health care. It follows the librarian’s dilemma over the ages—discovering how best to position books and documents within collections and search them in pursuit of learning. The chapter proceeds to consider languages as expressions of knowledge, and the different forms they take—spoken, written, artistic, mathematical, logical and computational. This sets the scene for introducing computational discipline that grew from endeavours to formulate rigorous logical foundations of mathematics, in earlier times, and the development of formal logic in support of rigorous reasoning. From there, the computer has become integral to how we express and reason with knowledge, and to problem solving and the discovery of new knowledge. These are twenty-first-century frontiers of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Moving to the complex world of medical language and terminology, used in representing knowledge about medicine and health care, the chapter discusses difficulties faced in evolving their corpora of terms and classifications, from pragmatic organizations into reliably computable forms. Notable pioneering initiatives and their leaders are profiled, highlighting some ideas that have acquired staying power and others that have not, looking for patterns of success and failure. Finally, the chapter moves to a discussion of some pioneering computer-based systems for capturing, storing and reasoning with medical knowledge, such as for guiding the prescription of antimicrobial drugs. It closes with a light-hearted take on how we use the terms knowledge, information and data, and a reflection on the traction that is needed in the unfolding of new knowledge and its application in practical contexts.

Committee on Toxicology. COT FSA PBPK for Regulators Workshop Report 2021. Food Standards Agency, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.tyy821.

Abstract:
The future of food safety assessment in the UK depends on the Food Standards Agency’s (FSA) adaptability and flexibility in responding to and adopting the accelerating developments in science and technology. The Tox21 approach is an example of one recent advancement in the development of alternative toxicity testing approaches and computer modelling strategies for the evaluation of hazard and exposure (New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). A key aspect is the ability to link active concentrations in vitro to likely concentrations in vivo, for which physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling is ideally suited. The UK FSA and the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products, and the Environment (COT) held an “PBPK for Regulators” workshop with multidisciplinary participation, involving delegates from regulatory agencies, government bodies, academics, and industry. The workshop provided a platform to enable expert discussions on the application of PBPK to health risk assessment in a regulatory context. Presentations covered current application of PBPK modelling in the agrochemical industry for in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), pharmaceutical industry for drug absorption related issues (e.g., the effect of food on drug absorption) and drug-drug interaction studies, as well as dose extrapolations to special populations (e.g., those with a specific disease state, paediatric/geriatric age groups, and different ethnicities), environmental chemical risk assessment, an overview of the current regulatory guidance and a PBPK model run-through. This enabled attendees to consider the wide potential and fitness for purpose of the application of PBPK modelling in these fields. Attendees considered applicability in the context of future food safety assessment for refining exposure assessments of chemicals with narrow margins of exposure and/or to fill data gaps from more traditional approaches (i.e., data from animal testing). The overall conclusions from the workshop were as follows: PBPK modelling tools were applicable in the areas of use covered, and that expertise was available (though it is in small numbers). PBPK modelling offers opportunities to address questions for compounds that are otherwise not possible (e.g., considerations of human variability in kinetics) and allows identification of “at risk” subpopulations. The use of PBPK modelling tends to be applied on a case-by-case basis and there appears to be a barrier to widespread acceptance amongst regulatory bodies due to the lack of available in-house expertise (apart from some medical and environmental agencies such as the European Medicines Agency, United States Food and Drug Administration, and the US Environmental Protection Agency, respectively). Familiarisation and further training opportunities on the application of PBPK modelling using real world case studies would help in generating interest and developing more experts in the field, as well as furthering acceptance. In a regulatory context, establishing fitness for purpose for the use of PBPK models requires transparent discussion between regulatory agencies, government bodies, academics, and industry and the development of a harmonised guidance such as by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) would provide a starting point. Finally, PBPK modelling is part of the wider “new approach methodologies” for risk assessment, and there should be particular emphasis in modelling both toxicodynamics and toxicokinetics.
