BACKGROUND There is a significant increase in survival for HIV-infected children who have early access to diagnosis and treatment. The goal of this multi-country review was to examine when and where HIV-exposed infants and children are being diagnosed, and whether the EID service is being maximally utilized to improve health outcomes for HIV-exposed children. METHODS In four countries across ...

INTRODUCTION Early infant diagnosis (EID) and prompt linkage to care are critical to minimise the high morbidity and mortality associated with infant HIV infection. Attrition in the "EID cascade" is common; however, point-of-care (POC) EID assays with same-day result could facilitate prompt linkage of HIV-infected infant to treatment. Despite a number of POC EID assays in development, few have ...

BACKGROUND Exercise-induced dyspnea (EID) in children and adolescents is a common manifestation of asthma and is therefore commonly attributed to exercise-induced asthma (EIA) when present in otherwise healthy children. OBJECTIVE To report the outcome of evaluations for EID when other symptoms and signs of asthma were absent or if there was no response to previous use of an inhaled beta2-agon...

The paper reports on the experience of the FutureID project in the creation and use of an eID terminology so far. A major part of work has reviewed the state of the art in eID Terminologies. Five existing terminologies have been compared and analyzed in detail to yield unexpected and surprising results. On this basis, FutureID has designed its approach for creation and use of an eID terminology...

The electronic identification (eID) is a digital representation of our analogue identity used for authentication in order to gain access to personalized restricted online content. Despite its limited and clearly defined scope, the eID has a unique role to play in information society as an enabler of public digital services for citizens as well as businesses and a prerequisite for the developmen...

In the last decade traditional identity documents have been equipped with an embedded NFC-chip to enable wireless access to the relevant data. This applies in particular to passports, following the ICAO standard, but increasingly also to other identification documents, such as driver’s licenses. Such electronic identity (eID) documents can now be used as “mother cards” by the users to remotely ...

National electronic identification (eID) systems aim to provide universal, unique and reliable identification and authentication mechanisms to the citizens. Many countries in Europe have already introduced or are about to introduce electronic ID cards to their citizens. The increasing number of eID infrastructures and initiatives have been taken to scale the eID systems to support both eGovernm...

Electronic Identity (eID) cards are rapidly emerging in Europe and are gaining user acceptance. As an authentication token, an eID card is a gateway to personal information and as such it is subject to privacy risks. Several European countries have taken extra care to protect their citizens against these risks. A notable example is the German eID card, which we take as a case study in this pape...

Interfaces designed according to ecological interface design (EID) display higher-order relations and properties of a work domain so that adaptive operator problem solving can be better supported under unanticipated system conditions. Previous empirical studies of EID have assumed that the raw data required to derive and communicate higher-order information would be available and reliable. The ...

This article addresses the development of electronic identification (eID) for public e-services and reports from an empirical study of young Swedish university students’ attitudes towards eID. A public e-service at the Swedish Board for Study Support which demanded secure electronic identification was focused. Our findings from three focus groups show that usability and security are two main th...
