Wearable Devices: A Future Useful Tool for Detection of Silent Ischemia in Patients with Diabetes?

As smartphone health care technology continues to evolve, many wearable devices are equipped with Electrocardiographic (ECG) recording. Recently, studies examining the possibility of various wearable devices for continuous ECG recording showed their ability to detect ST-segment alterations. It is known that in almost a quarter of people with diabetes, the presentation of an acute coronary syndrome may be atypical or even asymptomatic (“silent”), and it has been associated with adverse prognosis. The precise mechanisms behind the lack of pain in patients suffering from silent myocardial ischemia remain unknown. The attractive hypothesis that clinicians could use a wearable ECG recording to detect and treat earlier patients suffering from silent myocardial ischemia might change the adverse prognosis of those patients. However, before their clinical application, several obstacles should be overcome in order the physicians to obtain an additional powerful tool in the fight against coronary artery disease in people with diabetes.

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, Perception of Pharmacy Students Towards Telepharmacy

Telemedicine is one of the fastest growing area in health care technology and COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of practicing Telemedicine. Telepharmacy is a part of telemedicine where pharmacy use this technology to provide patient care services. Success of any technology depends on users’ willingness to learn and attitude towards technology. Early assessment of students’ attitude during pharmacy school is important to know in order to assess how receptive students are to accept Telepharmacy in their work setting currently or in future. That will also help to determine success of Telepharmacy implementation. This study will focus on assessing knowledge, attitude and perceptions of student pharmacists towards Telepharmacy.

Survei IoT Healthcare Device

The Internet of Things (IoT) has enormous potential in creating the value of life related to technology. IoT has various application domains, including in the health sector. IoT-based healthcare services are expected to reduce costs, improve quality of life, and enrich user experience. The presence of IoT devices for healthcare services can also avoid unnecessary hospitalization and ensure that patients who need health services get it quickly. This paper surveys advances in IoT-based health care technology and reviews the latest architectures / platforms, platforms, applications and industry trends in IoT-based healthcare solutions. Some IoT devices and prototypes in the healthcare field are also discussed in this paper. Through this paper, it is expected that readers can be known and discuss IoT devices in the healthcare sector.

Metodologia ativa: experiência exitosa de estudantes de enfermagem

Relatar a experiência exitosa de estudantes de enfermagem na elaboração de ferramenta virtual no processo de ensino e aprendizagem do dimensionamento de pessoal. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência, compartilhado por discente de enfermagem de uma instituição de ensino no Nordeste do Brasil, que fazem parte do grupo de pesquisa Cuidados em Saúde, tecnologia e Educação em Saúde. A atividade proposta pelos pesquisadores do grupo foi de elaborar um instrumento que avaliasse o conhecimento dos discentes de enfermagem sobre o dimensionamento de pessoal. As experiências exitosas dos discentes de enfermagem foram compartilhadas em alguns momentos como levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados; estruturação da ferramenta audiovisual baseado na Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas. O momento proporcionou a oportunidade em dialogar e refletir sobre a mudança do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, com a inserção das metodologias ativas.Descritores: Dimensionamento, Enfermagem, Ensino. Active methodology: successful experience of nursing studentsAbstract: To report the successful experience of nursing students in the elaboration of a virtual tool in the teaching and learning process of staffing. This is a descriptive study of the experience report, shared by nursing students of a teaching institution in the Northeast of Brazil, which is part of the research group Health Care, Technology, and Health Education. The proposed activity by the researchers of the group was to elaborate on an instrument that evaluated the knowledge of the nursing students on the dimensioning of people. The successful experiences of the students and nursing were shared in some moments as a bibliographical survey in the databases; structuring of the audiovisual tool based on Problem-Based Learning. The moment provided the opportunity to dialogue and reflect on the change of the teaching and learning process, with the insertion of active methodologies.Descriptors: Sizing, Nursing, Teaching.

Legal Access to Reproductive Control Technology, Women’s Education, and Earnings Approaching Retirement

What do historical changes in legal access to reproductive health care technology tell us about the long-run effects of such changes? We investigate this question using data from the Health and Retirement Study and an identification strategy leveraging variation in exposure to legal changes in access across cohorts born in the same states. We find positive effects on educational attainment that align with prior work but are not statistically significant. We also find positive effects on working in a Social Security-covered job in women's 20s and 30s but no evidence of positive effects on women's earnings in their 50s.
