BACKGROUND Proper monitoring of labor and childbirth prevents many pregnancy-related complications. However, monitoring is still poor in many places partly due to the usability concerns of support tools such as the partograph. In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) called for the development and evaluation of context-adaptable electronic health solutions to health challenges. Computerized...

There have been cases, in recent years, where customer information or other personal information has been leaked, and protective measures for personal information have become important. Corporations and other organizations have increasingly adopted software with e-mail monitoring capability to prevent leakage of personal information to the outside through e-mail. However, if the e-mail is encry...

Currently, air pollution is a critical public health problem, which means that the daily measurement of urban quality can be enriched if measured in personalized way. Personal environmental monitoring devices guide population to take action. They track their activities, avoiding situations could affect health, allowing them precisely know they breathe real-time various microenvironments. In thi...

Diabetes is difficult to control and it is important to manage the diabetic's blood sugar level and prevent the associated complications by appropriate diabetic treatment. This paper proposes a system that can provide appropriate management for diabetes patients, according to their blood sugar level. The system is designed to send the information about the blood sugar levels, blood pressure, fo...

Epidemiological studies typically estimate pollutant exposures using data from outdoor fixed monitoring stations (FMS). However, due to individual mobility through space, time spent in indoor environments and the heterogeneity of the urban atmosphere, data from FMS provides a poor representation of the actual personal exposure to air pollutants. The aim of this study is to investigate the relat...

The use of databases to identify both good and bad (acceptable to identify good and failing performance’ [19]. The article in this issue demonstrates the applicability of such mechanisms and unacceptable) trends in the performance of simple and complex procedures in medicine has a long history and was to detect poor performance and the relative ease of their introduction [13]. advocated by such...
