Operational Aspects

The increasing penetration of smartphones and their ability to host mobile technologies have shown valuable outcomes in disaster management; albeit, their application in disaster medicine remains limited. In this chapter, the authors explore the role of mobile technologies for clinical applications and communication and information exchange during disasters. The chapter synthesizes the literature on disaster healthcare and mobile technologies before, during, and after disasters discusses technological and operational aspects. They conclude by discussing limitations in the field and prospects for the future.

The Future

Security of food supply, sustainability of food production and safety in food processing - the three Ss of food - have featured in the news globally over the last twelve months. New Zealand has not been immune, and was the focus mid-year. The repercussions are still being felt. A successful pathway to the future will include improved understanding of agriculture and science - which means education at all levels is required. The role of the New Zealand Grassland Association continues to be information exchange and hence education - fuelled by science and tempered by experience.

Further Development

The review of mobile devices and wireless technologies used today in medicine developed countries in two main areas: treatment and care for patients and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Tendencies of the further development of mobile technologies in medicine are indicated. The role of artificial intelligence in the treatment of patients at the present stage and in the future is shown. Problems that inhibit the further development of artificial intelligence in medicine are identified. It is indicated that mobile health technologies can be applied to the aging part of the world's population to solve the problems associated with raising the retirement age. The directions of modern telemedicine are described as one of the ways to solve the issue of increasing life expectancy. Particular attention is paid to 3D printing of human organs with the help of a bioprinter. New professions are listed at the intersection of medicine and computer technologies, which should appear in the future for the introduction of IT technologies into traditional medicine. The main directions of future medicine development are outlined.

Abstract. As the criticism of the definition of the phenotype (i.e., clinical diagnosis) represents the major focus of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative, it is somewhat surprising that discussions have not yet focused more on specific conceptual and procedural considerations of the suggested RDoC constructs, sub-constructs, and associated paradigms. We argue that we need more precise thinking as well as a conceptual and methodological discussion of RDoC domains and constructs, their interrelationships as well as their experimental operationalization and nomenclature. The present work is intended to start such a debate using fear conditioning as an example. Thereby, we aim to provide thought-provoking impulses on the role of fear conditioning in the age of RDoC as well as conceptual and methodological considerations and suggestions to guide RDoC-based fear conditioning research in the future.
