This paper presented an automatic healthcare system where the system able to help and facilitates the paralysis patient to complete their daily life. When a patient suffers from a paralysis attack, the whole or partial of their body maybe disabled to move which means their movement is restricted and they also barely to communicate with anyone because they are unable to speak like a normal person. It will be hard for medical staff to understand what they want to convey and in helping them to manage their daily needs such as eating, drinking, bathing and etc. By developing this project, the health officer can assist the paralyzed patient when they are alerted by the message from patient via GSM network. There are several instruction of movement gesture sensor presented in this paper in order to assist health officer in helping the paralyzed patient to complete their needs. Whenever the patient gives the simple hand movement instruction, then it will be delivered through SMS and the alerted notice will be display on notification board to alert the health officers for assisting the patient.

Paralyzed Patient

Healthcare systems are a very important part of the economy of any country and for the public health. The IoT-based monitoring system for patients with paralysis, which helps to promote the health condition of a patient with paralysis, in addition to the day-to-day life. India has suffered a stroke, the incidence is much higher than that of the more developed countries, it is home to around 2.1 million Indians suffered from the boom of the (lame) per year. If a patient is suffering from a paralysis attack in all or any part of the body can be turned off in order to move in, which means that their movement is restricted and they can barely communicate with anyone at all, because they can't talk like a normal person. Raccoons will find it difficult to understand what they are saying, and help them deal with their day-to-day needs, such as food, water, etc.). At present, work is in progress on the review of the motion parameters on the legs, arms, and head of the paralytics. This paper investigates the development of an integrated and portable prototype is a model of a system for the monitoring of the various movements of the body, spinal cord injuries, with the help of sensors. The tests were carried out by placing the sensors on the head, arm, and leg of the paralyzed patient the data received from these sensors are sent to the raspberry pi 3 model. In the Android app, you'll receive a verbal warning, and if the patient is in need of help via Bluetooth, which, in turn, is connected to the raspberry pi.

This chapter examines the life of Boers held captive by the British during the South African War, with particular emphasis on inmates’ grievances relating to water, meat, clothing, work, and lack of freedom. It first provides an overview of the captives’ lifestyle at the Winburg concentration camp as well as camp personnel and medical staff before discussing the issue of disease and death in the camp. It then considers the freedom that prisoners of war (POWs) had to make existential choices, with reference to the suborning of prisoners by the British and the prisoners’ efforts to maintain group solidarity. It also discusses defiance and compliance by the inmates and concludes with an assessment of daily life in the POW concentration camps.

To verify that our daily life is going in a secure way. Lot of research programmers are going on in this entire society. The turning point comes through the internet of things, industry has been emerged with the lots of elements provided from IOT. We can able to connect our daily life things or objects with this had successfully evolved lots of things.  This Facial recognition door unlock system is a process is which will detect the face and identifies the among people. People are having different types of face cut, in that particularly there are many unique faces which are different from each other which inspired us, from that concept this process has been established. Our main aim to create the smart door system to a house, that will secure the house and all your personal things at your home. In this concept of our system we have been used alive web camera in the front side of the door, along with the display monitor. this web camera shows the owner/particular viewer the whom the house is his control, this shows the person who stood front of the door, the system is setup the voice output is being processed by the processor that which is used to show the answers/instructions as the output on the screen. We are using a stepper motor that which is used to lock/open then the by sliding method, so that a normal person stand in front of the door and access it. This process is done through this Microsoft face API application. The display is being operated on a Microsoft Visual Studio application.

AbstractSpontaneous neural activity has been shown to preserve the inter-regional structure of cortical activity evoked by a task. It is unclear, however, whether patterns of spontaneous activity within a cortical region comprise representations associated with specific behaviors or mental states. The current study investigated the hypothesis that spontaneous neural activity in human motor cortex represents motor responses that commonly occur in daily life. To test this hypothesis 15 healthy participants were scanned in a 3T fMRI scanner while performing four simple hand movements differing by their daily life relevance, and while not performing any specific task (resting-state scans). Using the task data, we identified cortical patterns in a motor ROI corresponding to the different hand movements. These task-defined patterns were compared to spontaneous cortical activity patterns in the same motor ROI. The results indicated a higher similarity of the spontaneous patterns to the most common hand movement than to the least common hand movement. This finding provides the first evidence that spontaneous activity in human cortex forms fine-scale, patterned representations associated with behaviors that frequently occur in daily life.

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed tremendous pressure on the worldwide healthcare systems. The hospitals are instructing patients to quarantine and providing medical facilities to COVID-19 patients at their homes. The feedback and proper monitoring of the quarantined patients is very important for the healthcare system. This situation has forced the use of telehealth systems to offer the delivery of medical facilities over a distance. This chapter presents a wireless telehealth system to monitor the home quarantined COVID-19 patients effectively. When an abnormality is detected then an alert is sent to the concerned hospital or doctor. The presented system allows setting the thresholds and providing alerts, reminders, and notifications to the doctors. The prototype of the presented system has been successfully developed, implemented, and tested, which helps the medical staff to monitor and treat the patients remotely, especially the coronavirus patients who are home quarantined.

Generally, distributed computing through a handheld/mobile device has to be considered with care because of the limited capabilities on these devices. Especially in ubiquitous telemonitoring healthcare, which refers to the disposition of any type of health services, such that medical staff members (physicians, emergency workers, other healthcare providers, etc.) through mobile computing devices can access them and expect data to be made available. In this chapter, the authors present a new system based on ubiquitous agents to assist telemonitoring employees, not only anytime and anywhere but also on any device.

Abstract Background Inadequate hand hygiene is a major contributor to hospital infections worldwide. Before 2012, in our healthcare system, hand hygiene was monitored by unit managers, nurses, and infection control staff with reported compliance rates of >90%. A five month independent audit by an anonymous observer revealed actual rates of 14–33%. This discordant result was typical of hospitals across the country then and now who have provided intensive education, used peer feedback, and maximized physical hand hygiene supplies. A commitment was made to rigorously improve hand hygiene utilizing validated data, social psychology with disciplinary consequence, and no additional expensive technology. Methods Employed dedicated “secret shopper”/anonymous observers were deployed across five hospitals, all units and all shifts, and all job roles to collect valid anonymous hand hygiene observations without local bias. Twice monthly hand hygiene data was shared by hospital, unit, shift, and job role to executive leadership and down to frontline unit staff for daily huddles. Additionally, over 100 “One and Up” Accountability Agents from management ranks were recruited, trained, and performed weekly standardized unit- based hand hygiene obervations openly, giving feedback real-time to non-compliant employess and medical staff; noncompliance was reported to the hospital epidemiologist; and emails on his behalf were sent to the employee’s manager, and the manager’s manager “One and Up”. A four step disciplinary process was begun. The same process was applied to the medical staff. Results Over 188, 000 anonymous secret shopper validation observations, and hundreds of thousands of Accountability Agent observations have been performed. Hand hygiene compliance has been >94% for 22 months and ≥97 % for the last 6 months in all five hospitals. No employee or medical staff member advanced beyond the second disciplinary step. Conclusion This model represents a national best performance model, with validated and sustained results, accomplished with cultural change and aligned multitier accountability (not technology). It is truly a low cost blueprint for other healthcare systems that seek rapid, honest, and sustained hand hygiene improvement across all job roles, shifts, and different sized hospitals and cultures.

Aim: To analyze aggressive behavior towards healthcare workers before and during the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Poland and confront the obtained results with reports on this phenomenon from the scientific world. Material and methods: The study included 999 respondents constituting healthcare workers from all over Poland. The proprietary questionnaire consisting of three parts was the research tool. Results: Only 1% of healthcare workers indicated that they informed the Healthcare Aggression Monitoring Registry. A similar rate was observed during the pandemic. The predominant reason was “long waiting time”. Conclusions: Aggression being a relatively constant and unchanging problem in the healthcare system, according to the authors, requires the development of new, more effective solutions to improve the situation of victims. Encouraging staff to report aggressive behaviors and actively supporting them in these actions could lead to more frequent legal consequences for aggressors, increasing the chance for more respectful treatment of medical staff and disrupting the false sense of impunity in perpetrators of these acts.
