  1. 21. Smartphone-based Parkinson’s disease symptom assessment

    Författare :Somayeh Aghanavesi; Mark Dougherty; Jerker Westin; Hasan Fleyeh; Mevludin Memedi; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; symptom assessment; spiral; tapping; smartphone; temporal irregularity; timing variability; approximate entropy; ; FLOAT - Flexibel levodopa-optimerings och individanpassningsteknik; FLOAT - Flexible Levodopa Optimizing Assistive Technology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four research papers presenting a microdata analysis approach to assess and evaluate the Parkinson’s disease (PD) motor symptoms using smartphone-based systems. PD is a progressive neurological disorder that is characterized by motor symptoms. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Automating levodopa dosing schedules for Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Ilias Thomas; Jerker Westin; Moudud Alam; Björn Eskofier; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; levodopa; symptom assessment; symptom management; dosing algorithms; wearable sensors; microtablets; continuous infusion; FLOAT - Flexible Levodopa Optimizing Assistive Technology; FLOAT - Flexibel levodopa-optimerings och individanpassningsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Levodopa is mainly used to manage the motor symptoms of PD. However, disease progression and long-term use of levodopa cause reduced medication efficacy and side effects. When that happens, precise individualized dosing schedules are required. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Optimizing levodopa dosing routines for Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Ilias Thomas; Jerker Westin; Moudud Alam; Alexander Medvedev; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; levodopa; symptom assessment; symptom management; dosing algorithms; wearable sensors; microtablets; continuous infusion; FLOAT - Flexible Levodopa Optimizing Assistive Technology; FLOAT - Flexibel levodopa-optimerings och individanpassningsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis in the field of microdata analysis aims to introduce dose optimizing algorithms for the pharmacological management of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is a neurodegenerative disease that mostly affects the motor functions of the patients and it is characterized as a movement disorder. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Outcomes of Rollator and Powered Wheelchair Interventions - User Satisfaction and Participation

    Författare :Åse Brandt; Hållbar vardag och hälsa i ett livsperspektiv; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; revalidation; Physical medicine; kinesitherapy; Rasch analysis.; The QUEST; Mobility; Older people; Outcomes evaluation; ICF; Occupational therapy; Assistive technology;

    Sammanfattning : Rollator and powered wheelchair interventions are often applied to make participation possible for citizens with limited walking capacity. However, the research-based knowledge about outcomes is insufficient for societal prioritisation purposes and for quality development of assistive technology within occupational therapy contexts.

  7. 25. Tala fram texten : När barn med läs- och skrivsvårigheter skriver med tal-till-text

    Författare :Sanna Kraft; Åsa Wengelin; Karin Helgesson; Gustaf B. Skar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; language; spoken language; reading and writing difficulties; writing processes; writing strategies; keystroke logging; writing tools; assistive technology; speech-to-text; speech recognition; dictation; lexical analysis; revision; text quality; expository texts; Swedish; Svenska språket Nordiska språk; written language; spoken language; reading and writing difficulties; writing processes; writing strategies; keystroke logging; writing tools; assistive technology; speech-to-text; speech recognition; dictation; lexical analysis; revision; text quality; expository text;

    Sammanfattning : Effective writing is a crucial skill that requires not only the mastery of various sub-processes but also deliberate orchestration of those sub-processes within the constraints of limited working- memory capacity. In practice, some of those sub-processes, such as transcription (spelling and handwriting), need to be automatised to free up capacity for other processes. LÄS MER
