Digital Health Literacy

The pandemic has shown the importance of health organizations adapting rapidly to teleconsultation services, investing in e-health with quality criteria and monitoring outcomes. Through a literature review and gathering research already carried out on e-health communication and with practical examples it is verified that, if the requirements of proximity, quality and interpersonal relationship are met, better health results can be obtained. When communication is established in health via mobile phone, with image, sound, voice, text, it is thus possible to work the memory and health instructions of patients and obtain better health outcomes. These strategies must be personalized and adapted to the patient's age and context.

Eyeblink Robot Control Using Brain-Computer Interface for Healthcare Applications

The human brain is the central organ of the human system. Many people in the world cannot move on their own and can't control things on their own. A person whose brain is active can control things using the neuro-controlled robot car. It is interesting to all types of people to measure their concentration and piece level of mind with the neuro sky mind wave device. One can easily control the robot's movements by simply blinking eyes; the robot's speed will be according to the subject's attention levels. The neuro sky mind wave device digitizes brain wave signals to power the user-interface of the computers, game, and health application. The neuro sky mind wave device will measure brain waves from the forehead. The paper aims to control a robot using the brain-computer interface concept without any muscular activity controlling healthcare applications directions. The brain activity is recorded with the neuro sky mind wave device's help, and the attention values are sent to the Arduino with the help of the HC-05 Bluetooth module. Arduino is programmed so that if the attention values between 0-29 and the person are relaxed, the green light will glow for the feedback.

Emerging Trends in M-Commerce Consumer Behavior

By 2021, the volume of global transactions conducted by m-commerce is expected to increase. However, despite the rapid growth in the use of mobile devices, m-commerce still faces several constraints, and its integration in the consumers' everyday behavior is still less than expected in many countries. The work has a two-fold general objective: on the one hand, one wishes to describe the mobile commerce concept, and on the other hand, it is to review the relevant literature on mobile consumer behavior. This paper describes the concept of mobile commerce (m-commerce), makes the difference between e-commerce and m-commerce, and highlights its benefits and constraints. Then it reviews the relevant literature on m-consumer behavior in the stage of initial adoption and continuous use. Finally, it proposes future avenues of research in the form of research agenda. Crucially, this research urges future researchers to examine the perceived value, design, aesthetics, and experiential aspects of m-commerce and their outcomes in terms of attitude, satisfaction, loyalty, and behavioral intention.

Remote Robot-Sensor Calibration Service

Cyber physical systems (CPSs) are integrating computation, networking, and physical processes. CPSs facilitate improvements especially for asset management. The authors have contributed to robot automation with CPS technologies by a pilot system to support setup and maintenance of sensor-based robot systems with remote calibration services. This paper has focused to support remotely-located technology specialists as well as local field personnel by appropriate user interface design. A design example is given for a remote robot-sensor calibration procedure. In the user interface design, the authors follow loosely the Ecological Interface Design (EID) approach.

Wireless-Enabled Fashion

This paper is devoted to the supply and business models around wireless-enabled clothing by and for the clothing industry itself. Employing existing or innovative differentiating technologies, each piece of wireless-enabled clothing becomes a user equipment with customization in functionality and clothing designs. Relevant technologies are selected, allowing to map and model the implications for product integration, supply chains, distribution channels, and quantified costs. This research rests on very extensive collaborative and industrial R&D projects. In conclusion, modular wireless-enabled clothing offers significant personalization and distribution opportunities at costs comparable to mobile terminals like smartphones.

High-Performance Apparel and Wearable Devices for Hot Environments

Smart and intelligent textiles together with wearable devices for cooling the human body assure active protection of the human body in a hot environment. The purpose of this article is to present the recent inventions in the field of wearable technologies and high-performance apparel that helps the thermophysiological comfort of people in high-temperature environments. The work of the thermoregulatory system when the body heat storage is higher than the heat dissipation from the body to the environment is presented together with experimental results from thermograms during physical exercise. High-performance textiles, used in sports apparel, are analyzed in terms of their ability to cool the human body during high metabolic activity. Wearable devices for helping the thermophysiological comfort in the hot are also discussed.

Monitoring System for Persons With Alzheimer's Disease via Video-Object Tracking

This article presents a framework for a food intake monitoring system intended for use with persons with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Alzheimer's disease has a significant impact on the individual's ability to perform their daily activities including eating. Providing assistance with feeding is a major challenge for caregivers, including a significant time commitment. We present a vision-based system that tracks moving objects, such as the hand, using a combined optical flow and skin region detection algorithms. Skin detection is implemented using two different methods. Hue, saturation, and value (HSV) color space, which is on separation of the illuminance component from chrominance one as the first method and skin color information is extracted from subject's face detected using Viola-Johns algorithm for the second method. Once face and other moving skin regions are detected, bounding boxes are created and used to track all moving regions over the video frames, recognizing eating behavior or the lack of it. Based on experimental results the proposed method using optical flow and skin regions segmentation using HSV color detects the hand to mouth eating motion with 92.12% accuracy. The optical flow and skin region segmentation based on face color information achieves a higher accuracy of 94.29%.

Wearables for Performance Support and Learning

Wearables include a variety of body-borne sensory, communication, and computational components that users wear on, under, over the body or within clothing. These mechanisms have potential benefits for: (a) human performance support; and (b) cognitive and psychomotor learning. This review of existing wearable research begins with a historical overview of wearables and then provides the reader with a current and future perspective of their use across a variety of educational environments.
