Abstract: Coming from a flourishing nation like India, Farming and Agriculture is the main source of income the recent stats shows it is about still IOT and application of automation and handheld devices engages an imperative role towards greatness and amelioration of the country. During these present times there have been some previous old methods being used in farming which have many limitations and also very demanding in terms of human labour and have to go out for supervision and check for any intruders or alerts or even to spray water. These conventional process have recurring costs and more demanding sometimes false human alarms or even a false crop information as a result substantial damages are foreseen hence it increases the costs and burden over the farmer. It has been observed that in some cases where farmers are cooperating with the technological advancements which are available in the present era have benefited from its fruitful outcome. The aim of this paper is to develop a smart farm supervision and protection system which comes in handy for getting regular farm alerts on a smart phone the alerts can be changed in the form of a text message or even an automated phone call hence the additional feature of this model is the improvement of crop growth according to different seasons and weather.

Wireless Communication Network

The mobile phone industry has experienced an explosive growth in recent years. The emerging markets such as China, India, and Brazil contribute this growth. In China, the number of mobile subscribers has already surpassed the number of fixed landline phone subscribers. In Korea and Japan, there is an explosion of mobile and wireless services. The United States are joining too and there were 207.9 million subscribers in 2005 (CTIA, 2006). Mobile e-commerce (m-commerce) makes business mobility a reality; mobile users could access the Internet at any time, from anywhere with handheld devices or laptop. A 3G enabled smart phone enables you to access a wide range of services anywhere and anytime. For example, you can send and receive e-mail, make cinema and restaurant reservations and pay for them, check real train time, look at digital maps, download music and games, and also browse the Internet. Mobile and wireless services are ranging from mobile communication networks to wireless local area networks. The service provided by mobile communication systems has achieved huge success as mobile and wireless communication technologies are converging at fast speed. We will study mobile and wireless communication in relation to mobile phones. Hence, m-commerce is defined as electronic commerce carried out in handheld devices such as smart phone through mobile and wireless communication network.

In the background of the rapid popularization of Panel PC and touch-screen smart phone, the SNS interface is facing a transformation from Website User Interface (WUI) to Handset User Interface (HUI). However, this kind of transformation should be based on deeply digging into the various demands of handheld devices' users, rather than simply integrating the function or streamlining interface of SNS website. This thesis will quantitatively analysis and estimate the users' perceptual demand to express themselves through the method of Fuzzy Evaluation according to Kansei Engineering. The thesis has generalized the SNS design consideration in view of the transformation from WUI to HUI, showed how to optimize the functions in small-interface, in order to meet various perceptual demands of users.

Introduction: Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that requires adherence to prescribed medications. With the current pandemic, mobile technology plays a role in caring for patients remotely. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of telephone intervention (phone call and text message) on medication adherence among diabetic patients. Methodology: Randomized controlled trials were searched in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Herdin, BMC Health Services Research using combination of terms through boolean operators (phone message OR phone call) AND (medication adherence AND diabetes) which compared telephone intervention vs usual care. mean, sample size and standard deviation of Medication Adherence in each study were extracted. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Three trials met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. The telephone intervention did not result in statistically significant improvement in medication adherence among diabetics (pooled mean difference: 0.05 95%CI -.08 to 0.17) Conclusion: The intervention was no more effective than the usual care. However, mobile use has potential application for remote care during this pandemic.

BACKGROUND With COVID-19 there was a rapid and abrupt rise in telemedicine implementation often without sufficient time for providers or patients to adapt. As telemedicine visits are likely to continue to play an important role in health care, it is crucial to strive for a better understanding of how to ensure completed telemedicine visits in our health system. Awareness of these barriers to effective telemedicine visits is necessary for a proactive approach to addressing issues. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify variables that may affect telemedicine visit completion in order to determine actions that can be enacted across the entire health system to benefit all patients. METHODS Data were collected from scheduled telemedicine visits (n=362,764) at the University of Miami Health System (UHealth) between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020. Descriptive statistics, mixed effects logistic regression, and random forest modeling were used to identify the most important patient-agnostic predictors of telemedicine completion. RESULTS Using descriptive statistics, struggling telemedicine specialties, providers, and clinic locations were identified. Through mixed effects logistic regression (adjusting for clustering at the clinic site level), the most important predictors of completion included previsit phone call/SMS text message reminder status (confirmed vs not answered) (odds ratio [OR] 6.599, 95% CI 6.483-6.717), MyUHealthChart patient portal status (not activated vs activated) (OR 0.315, 95% CI 0.305-0.325), provider’s specialty (primary care vs medical specialty) (OR 1.514, 95% CI 1.472-1.558), new to the UHealth system (yes vs no) (OR 1.285, 95% CI 1.201-1.374), and new to provider (yes vs no) (OR 0.875, 95% CI 0.859-0.891). Random forest modeling results mirrored those from logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS The highest association with a completed telemedicine visit was the previsit appointment confirmation by the patient via phone call/SMS text message. An active patient portal account was the second strongest variable associated with completion, which underscored the importance of patients having set up their portal account before the telemedicine visit. Provider’s specialty was the third strongest patient-agnostic characteristic associated with telemedicine completion rate. Telemedicine will likely continue to have an integral role in health care, and these results should be used as an important guide to improvement efforts. As a first step toward increasing completion rates, health care systems should focus on improvement of patient portal usage and use of previsit reminders. Optimization and intervention are necessary for those that are struggling with implementing telemedicine. We advise setting up a standardized workflow for staff.

Abstract Programs that directly mail fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) to patients can increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, especially in low-income and Latino populations. Few studies have explored patient reactions to prompts or reminders that accompany such programs. As part of the Participatory Research to Advance Colon Cancer Prevention pilot study, which tested prompts and reminders to a direct-mail FIT program in a large, urban health center, we conducted telephone interviews among English- and Spanish-speaking participants who were assigned to receive a series of text message prompts, automated phone call reminders, and/or live phone call reminders. We analyzed interviews using a qualitative content analysis approach. We interviewed 41 participants, including 25 responders (61%) and 16 nonresponders (39%) to the direct-mail program. Participants appreciated program ease and convenience. Few participants recalled receiving prompts or automated/live reminders; nevertheless, the vast majority (95%, n = 39) thought reminders were acceptable and helpful and suggested that 2–3 reminders delivered starting 1 week after the mailed FIT would optimally encourage completion. Prompts and reminders used with mailed-FIT programs are accepted by patients, and my help boost response rates.

Please be aware that I am not an attorney and the following information should not be considered legal advice. The information contained in this chapter is what I have learned as a parent of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and as a doctor trying to help those with ASD navigate complex legal and financial decisions. I recommend all parents of children with ASD develop a relationship with a licensed attorney with experience in special needs in their jurisdiction. As this chapter details, there are many different legal issues you and your child may encounter as your child matures into adulthood. Having an attorney who is familiar with your specific situation and your child can be very reassuring should legal needs arise. If you have the financial capacity to place some funds in a retainer with an attorney so that they are available any time you need for a quick e-mail, phone call, or text message, it is often worth the expense and peace of mind. Parents can usually locate attorneys with experience in special needs by contacting their local bar associations, many of which maintain formal referral programs. Also, many autism support groups maintain lists of attorneys who specialize in various aspects of the law relevant to children with ASD. Your child’s medical providers may also be able to provide referrals. If you are like most parents of a child with ASD, you are over­whelmed with even the thought of long-term planning. You are likely thinking, “It is hard enough making it day by day, let alone considering long-term planning.” The truth is that most of us avoid thinking of the future because it is too frightening and uncertain. There is also little guidance from healthcare professionals on this very complex issue. However, much relief can be found in achieving a plan for your child’s future. Do not wait. It is important to talk with a financial planner when your child is young.

In this study, the authors design a user-support system employing a smart phone for skin progress analysis. The authors’ proposed system seeks to provide user support for a skin diagnostic service employing a smart phone's camera, with the user's photograph of a skin image and continuous diagnosis of the photographed area. The cognitive user-support module recognizes the processing and the user operation of the smart phone, and transmits advice on the operation to the user in real time, via voice or text messages. In addition, the cognitive user-support module can recommend contents suitable for the user, based on the user's past situation. In the skin diagnostic service, the authors’ system provides the user with auto photography when the picture is taken, by recognizing the user's situation and guiding the user via voice or text message. The authors’ system can recommend the skin area that was used for the last diagnostic service in order to perform continuous skin diagnosis. Using the authors’ system, the user can easily take a suitable skin picture and observe the skin care progress, so that in an esthetic room, the user and beauty therapist can verify the esthetic effect by viewing the pictures taken before and after treatment.

VoIP application usage has increased from time to time and makes our daily life more convenient. VoIP application has features to make a phone call, send a text message and share the file through the apps for free. However, most of the users did not seem aware of VoIP security features such as authentication ability, password encryption ability, or voice or audio and text communication encryption ability. It is essential to ensure the VoIP used is secure from password decrypter and eavesdrops the user conversation. Thus, the first objective of this research was to study and investigate VoIP application consist of Kakao Talk, Telegram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp for both Android and web application. The second objective was to evaluate the four VoIP application identified based on authentication requirement, password encryption, voice or audio encryption communication, and text encryption communication. There were two mobile phones used. One acts as a client and a personal computer act as an attacker. Wireshark and packet capture were run in personal computer and mobile phone to monitoring and scanning the network traffic while both devices connected in the same WLAN. The experiment implements MITM, interception, and sniffing attacks. This research project has identified Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp web application do not provide secure password ability.

At the present time the system of “Smart house” allows passing messages on any type of emergencies only out loud (phone call), though some individuals with disabilities will not be able to report an accident. Moreover, the pall showed, that 55 % of respondents would prefer sending text message on fire or other emergency to operations control duty desk. The respondents of this group feel it’s easier to make a photo or video of the accident. Though it is still impossible to analyze the data received in this form and make decisions automatically. In the conditions of yearly increase of the number of mobile phones getting text messages on emergencies is as important as processing of voice calls. Receiving and processing text messages would be current in case of terrorist attack. Any victim can noiseless send just one word and inform on the emergency. The article analyzes the process of receiving and processing messages when calling the emergency number 112. We propose a module of sending Messages-112 by persons with disabilities in the system of “smart house” in the form of short text messages (SMS).
