Obesity is one of the major health risk factors behind the rise of non-communicable conditions. Understanding the factors influencing obesity is very complex since there are many variables that can affect the health behaviors leading to it. Nowadays, multiple data sources can be used to study health behaviors, such as wearable sensors for physical activity and sleep, social media, mobile and health...
This study aimed to evaluate the modifications of electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectra in overweight and obese patients. EEG was recorded while performing the Stroop Color Word Test. Stroop Color Word Test was performed and EEG activity was also monitored during the experiment. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to show statistical difference between baseline and Stroop Color Word...
Telemedicine is the delivery of general and specialty e-clinical services to remote area, using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and network of sensors. Successful health management of a patient who has visual impairment and also obesity problems includes multiple treatment strategies, focusing on changing the patient's diet, modifying eating and physical activity habits, and also...
Overweight and obesity pose a serious and increasing problem worldwide. Current treatment methods can result in weight loss in the short term but often fail in the longer term.
