  1. 1. Geographies of eHealth: Studies of Healthcare at a Distance

    Författare :Jesper Petersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; eHealth; telehealthcare; Actor-network theory; space; information and communication technology; Governmentality;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the proliferation of healthcare services using information and communication technology to overcome spatial and temporal obstacles. These services are given such names as telemedicine and telecare, which are sometimes grouped together as telehealthcare under the umbrella term eHealth. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Understanding quality improvement in care: The case of public care procurement and process mining

    Författare :Sara Dahlin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cancer care; methodology; process mining; Quality improvement; elderly care; care pathways; public care procurement; context;

    Sammanfattning : Healthcare is facing challenges of increased cost and complexity originating from factors such as new technology and diversified treatments, increased life expectancy, an ageing population, and multi-comorbidity, making the need for Quality Improvement (QI) in care highly relevant. This is, however, easier said than done, considering that healthcare is complex, dynamic, ad-hoc, and multidisciplinary. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modeling and Simulation of Dial-a-Ride and Integrated Public Transport Services

    Författare :Carl Henrik Häll; Jan T. Lundgren; Stefan Voss; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dial-a-ride; simulation; optimization; modeling; paratransit; public transport; Other technology; Övriga teknikvetenskaper;

    Sammanfattning : Traditional public transport systems are most often insufficient to provide a good transport service to everyone. Especially, it is not always possible for elderly and disabled persons to use the regular system consisting of timetabled services operating along fixed routes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cellulose-derived conductive nanofibrous materials for energy storage and tissue engineering applications

    Författare :Volodymyr Kuzmenko; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
