DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A PERSONAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANT FOR PATIENT ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION IN POSTSURGICAL CANCER CARE: FEASIBILITY COHORT STUDY

Abstract BackgroundCancer-care complexity heightens communication challenges between health care providers and patients, impacting their treatment adherence.This is especially evident upon hospital discharge in patients undergoing surgical procedures.Digital health tools offer potential solutions to address communication challenges seen in current

The effective resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) can be significantly degraded by patient motion during data acquisition.This is especially true in the thorax due to respiratory motion.This study concentrates on the improvement of motion correction algorithms both in terms of image quality and computational cost.In this paper, we pres

Abstract Background Pediculus humanus, the human body louse, is widespread where overcrowding and lack of hygiene are present, in areas of the world affected by poverty, war, famine and presence of refugees.It has recently been considered re-emerging among homeless populations in developed countries.In Italy, it was last reported in 1945.Pediculus

Perimeter detection systems detect intruders penetrating protected areas, but modern solutions require the combination of smart detectors, information networks and controlling software to reduce false alarms and extend detection range.The current solutions available to secure a perimeter (infrared and motion sensors, fiber optics, cameras, radar, a
