This paper presents the findings of a low-fidelity participatory design activity for the design of wearable Augmented Reality (AR) experiences for children at play. The aims of the research were to gain insights into the different types of augmentations children find engaging and useful in different play contexts. The papers contribution is both the method used, and the insights gained from the design...
Children with cerebral palsy may have difficulty walking and may fall frequently, resulting in a decrease in their participation in school and community activities. It is desirable to assess the effectiveness of mobility therapies for these children on their functioning during everyday living. Over 50 hours of tri-axial accelerometer and digital video recordings from 35 children with cerebral palsy...
This paper presents two alternative approaches to characterize the pharmacodynamics of propofol anesthesia in children, using State Entropy as a clinical end point. The first approach is the traditional approach where the pharmacodynamic model is described in terms of an effect-site equilibration rate constant and the Hill equation. In the second approach (the monitor-decoupled approach) the dynamics...
Studies conducted in Zagreb reported a short-term relation between air pollutant concentrations and emergency hospital visits due to the aggravation of symptoms of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Air pollution in Zagreb is generally below the limit, and usually within the values recommended by the World Health Organization. Daily variations in the number of emergency room visits...
The author points out noninvasive measurements are highly desirable in physiology for two main reasons: (1) absence of interference with the system under evaluation and (2) safety for the subject. Such measurements are especially important in children and during sleep or exercise studies. In these conditions a simple mouth piece, for instance, significantly modifies breathing pattern and can be considered...
