Telementoring with project ECHO: a pilot study in Europe

The Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) project is a novel educational intervention designed in New Mexico to transfer subspecialty knowledge about hepatitis C virus (HCV) to primary care providers, thereby increasing patient access to HCV care. The ECHO model has been shown to deliver educational benefits and to result in good treatment outcomes for HCV-infected individuals in th...

A Modified Affine Project Algorithm for Acousctic Echo Cancellation

We are developed a modified version of affine projection algorithm for acoustic echo cancellation, which has moderate convergence speed and noiserobust characteristics. The proposed algorithm normalizes the update equation to reduce noise effect of affine projection algorithm, by adding the multiplication of estimation error power and projection order to auto-covariance matrix of input signal. ...

Innovative telementoring for pain management: project ECHO pain.

INTRODUCTION Project ECHO Pain, the innovative telementoring program for health professionals, was developed in 2009 at the University Of New Mexico Health Sciences Center to fill considerable gaps in pain management expertise. Substantive continuing education for clinicians who practice in rural and underserved communities convenes weekly by means of telehealth technology. Case-based learning,...

Genetic algorithm for Echo cancelling

In this paper, echo cancellation is done using genetic algorithm (GA). The genetic algorithm is implemented by two kinds of crossovers; heuristic and microbial. A new procedure is proposed to estimate the coefficients of adaptive filters used in echo cancellation with combination of the GA with Least-Mean-Square (LMS) method. The results are compared for various values of LMS step size and diff...
