Service Application

In a nursing home, the elderly gets health services to support their daily life. These services are documented and reported periodically to elderly families. In addition to managing information about nursing services, there is other information that must also be managed properly to help the smooth operation of the nursing home. To support the information management process, reliable software is needed to have the functions and benefits that are in accordance with the needs. One of the supporting components that contribute to building good software is interface design. This study will discuss the design of nursing home service application interfaces that have fields, characteristics, and functions that are different from other fields, especially the field of special health services for the elderly. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview and insight to desktop, mobile, and web application developers regarding aspects of designing an interface that is acceptable to system users in nursing homes. This will certainly make it easier for developers to produce good and acceptable software. The design of the interface is carried out using the Human-Centered Design (HCD) method which applies a user-focused design approach so that it makes it easy to understand what their needs are. There are several stages in HCD, namely the stage of identifying and determining the context of the user (Understand and specifying the context of use), the stage of identifying user requirements (Specifying the user requirements), the stage of producing design solutions (Producing design solutions) and the stage of evaluating the design (Evaluating the design). This research produces an interactive and easy-to-use interface design because the testing process uses a prototype as a demonstration tool. The test results using the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) method show that 88.25% of users are satisfied with the design made and in line with the needs of users in a nursing home.

Mobile devices offer convenient communication capabilities and have the potential to create intermediary support for ergonomically challenged users. With the global proliferation of increasing longevity, assisting the elderly and those living with impediments through human engineering and computing technology is pivotal to biotechnological attainment. To remain independently empowered, seamless integrations through efficient affable interfaces are required to provide sedulous location-independent and appliance-sensitive media viewing for the user. The Ambient Interface Design (AID) system assists with finding personal preferences and provides a synchronisation framework, coordinating connectivity across various environmentally distributed devices via sensor data mapping. Cooperative interface communication coupled with context awareness will be abstracted to a representation that facilitates optimisation and customisation to these displays. To overcome personal challenges in the efficient selection and acquisition of online information, AID mediates between the needs of the user and the constraints of the technology to provide a singular customised encapsulation of ‘ability preference and device’ for each authenticated member. A particular emphasis is the application of a human-centered design ethos.

At Home

The rapid development of technology is widely used in various fields, one of which is the field of cleaning services. In the past, women worked on cleaning at home while men went to work out of the house. Nowadays, the changing patterns of life of the people demand that women and men spend their time going out of the house to work. Activities in homes that are getting denser but unchanged services result in imbalance, so people need to do cleaning at home. The solution to these problems is to make a home service application that provides home cleaning services. In making the application used to the yii2 framework, progressive web application and the waterfall method. This home service application provides internal and outdoor cleaning services that can be ordered wherever and whenever.Keywords: Home service, progressive web application, waterfall

Abstract Objectives Estimating the right energy requirement for the elderly is a clinically relevant topic since malnutrition is common in such population. Predictive equations are widely used to estimate the resting energy expenditure (REE). However, only a few equations have been specifically developed for the elderly, and they often provide different outputs. The present work aimed at presenting a web application able to assist the clinicians in identifying the most appropriate equation to estimate the REE in the elderly. Methods The development of the application is based on a systematic review of studies that had tested the performance of a predictive equation to estimate REE vs. a gold standard in subjects older than 65 years of age. The systematic review was carried out using PubMed, Scopus, and Embase following the PRISMA guidelines. Furthermore, the equations retrieved were applied to a sample of 88 subjects enrolled in an Italian nursing home to evaluate the agreement among the estimated REE. The agreement was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for the sample overall and for specific subsets of patients (males, females, normal-weight and overweight/obese subjects). Results The initial search identified 6353 studies. After the screening, 69 studies, corresponding to 210 single equations, were included in the analysis. The type and number of parameters used in each equation were highly variable and the most frequently used were demographics, anthropometric and laboratory data, and physical activity frequency. The application of the equations to the sample of 88 subjects enrolled in the nursing home showed that the ones that included a small number of parameters were found to have a good agreement (especially those including the body weight alone: ICC = 0.75, 95% IC 0.69–0.81) while the addition of other parameters resulted in a worsening of the agreement. The same results were obtained for the sample overall and for the specific subsets of patients considered. The results of the systematic review served as a basis for the development of the web application (http://r-ubesp.dctv.unipd.it:3838/equationer). Conclusions The proposed web application is expected to guide the clinicians in identifying the most appropriate equation to estimate REE according to the subject's characteristics.

The Impact

For some people, dementia is considered as a disease that is common in elderly, regardless the impact of dementia. Taking care for the elderly with dementia brings stress for the family. It can cause and increase the family burden. Brain vitalization gymnastics is one of the methods to improve memory. The study aims to investigate the effect of brain vitalization activity on dementia incidence in elderly at Budi Luhur Nursing Home of Yogyakarta. The study used Quasi Experimental with Pretest-Posttest control group and randomized sampling system. The samples were taken randomly as many as 26 respondents and were divided into two groups namely 13 respondents of experimental group and 13 respondents of control group. The statistical test used Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test. The result showed that Wilcoxon Match pairs test obtained p value 0,003, which is smaller than 0,005. There is an effect of brain vitalization activity on dementia incidence in elderly at Budi Luhur Nursing Home of Yogyakarta

Board And Care

Long-term care institutions have emerged as dominant sites of death for the elderly. However, studies of this trend have primarily examined nursing homes. The purpose of this research is to determine demographic, functional, disease, and facility predictors and/or correlates of death for the elderly residing in board and care facilities. Twelve factors are found to be significant: proportion of residents older than sixty-five years of age, proportion of residents who are chair- or bed-fast, proportion of residents with HIV, bed size, ownership, chain membership, affiliation with a nursing home, number of health services provided other than by the facility, the number of social services provided other than by the facility, the number of social services provided by the facility, and visits by Ombudsmen. These are discussed and comparisons with similar studies in nursing homes are made.
