Abstract Inadequate sleep in older adults is linked to health issues such as frailty, cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disorders. Maintaining regular sleep patterns is important for healthy aging, making effective sleep monitoring essential. While polysomnography is the gold-standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, its regular use in home settings is limited.…

Abstract Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe condition affectingmillions worldwide, leading to numerous annual deaths. The absence of significant symptomsin its early stages promotes high underdiagnosis rates for the affected people. Besidespulmonary function failure, another harmful problem of COPD is the systemic effects,e.g., heart failure or voice…
Read moreAbstract Introduction: A life story (LS) is a tool healthcare professionals (HCPs) use to help older adults with dementia preserve their identities by sharing their stories. Applied health technology can be considered a niche within welfare technology. Combining technology and nursing, such as using life stories in digital form, may…

Abstract Introduction: The efforts of relatives in providing palliative care (PC) at home areimportant. Relatives take great responsibility, face many challenges and are at increasedrisk of poor physical and mental health. Support for these relatives is important,but they often do not receive the support they need. When PC is provided…
Read moreAbstract: Dementia, a neurodegenerative disease, significantly impairs cognitive abilities and is often not diagnosed until the later stages of disease progression. This delayed diagnosis results in missed early intervention, support opportunities and difficulty implementing appropriate care strategies. To address this problem, researchers have proposed automated diagnostic systems that utilize machine…

AbstractSleep apnea is a common disorder that can cause pauses in breathing and can last from a few seconds to several minutes, as well as shallow breathing or complete cessation of breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is strongly associated with the risk of developing several heart diseases, including coronary heart disease,…
Read moreAbstract Objectives. General palliative care (PC) is provided more at home, leading to increasedinvolvement of relatives. Although support for relatives is a fundamental component of PC,there are deficiencies in the support provided to relatives when general PC is provided at home.This study aimed to describe the support provided by health…

Abstract Background:Normal voice production depends on the synchronized cooperation of multiple physiological systems, which makes the voice sensitive to changes. Any systematic, neurological, and aerodigestive distortion is prone to affect voice production through reduced cognitive, pulmonary, and muscular functionality. This sensitivity inspired using voice as a biomarker to examine disorders…
Read moreAbstract Dementia is a disorder with high societal impact and severe consequences for its patients who suffer from a progressive cognitive decline that leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and disabilities. Since there is a consensus that dementia is a multifactorial disorder, which portrays changes in the brain of the affected…

Abstract : Researchers have proposed several automated diagnostic systems based on machine learning and data mining techniques to predict heart failure. However, researchers have not paid close attention to predicting cardiac patient mortality. We developed a clinical decision support system for predicting mortality in cardiac patients to address this problem. The…
Read moreAbstract Dementia is a cognitive disorder that mainly targets older adults. At present, dementia has no cure or prevention available. Scientists found that dementia symptoms might emerge as early as ten years before the onset of real disease. As a result, machine learning (ML) scientists developed various techniques for the…

Abstract Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have successfully provided automated solutions to numerous real-world problems. Healthcare is one of the most important research areas for ML researchers, with the aim of developing automated disease prediction systems. One of the disease detection problems that AI and ML researchers…
