Smart bed notification system base on Internet of Things for fall prevention in patients with stroke.

The Smart Bed Notification System is a system that alerts the movement of objects (patients with stroke) on the care mattress when patients are at risk of being dropped or falling. The notification device consists of two subsystems, namely hardware and software. In the hardware part, it consists of a camera to track patient movements, Raspberry Pi as a system controller that is equipped with a WiFi interface to transmit data wirelessly to smartphones that are equipped with Android-based applications. In the software part, however, openCV installed on Raspy is designed to picture the surveillance results of the webcam. Furthermore, the smartphone has an Android-based feature, which displays alerts of patient movement. Stroke patients may be tracked remotely over the Internet by nurses or their relatives.

Usability and Usefulness of a Mobile Heath App for HIV Prevention Among Adolescents in Indonesia.

BACKGROUND: Mobile health apps could help reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission in adolescents. A multidisciplinary group developed the HIV Info Corner app to provide information about HIV transmission, risk behaviors, and prevention. OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to evaluate the usability of the HIV Info Corner app and its usefulness as perceived by potential users. METHODS: 15 adolescents engaged in meetings and performed 5 tasks. Usability was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Nielsen Severity Scale. Usefulness was evaluated using the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI). RESULTS: 10 usability problems were found; 8 were considered minor problems and 2 classified as major. CONCLUSION: Users considered the information in the HIV Data Corner app relevant, satisfying their requirements.

A 10-Years Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Among HIV-Positive Individuals Using BMI-Based Framingham Risk Score in Indonesia.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death in HIV patients. The number of HIV patients suffering from cardiovascular disease is almost twice as high as that of patients who are not HIV-positive. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk of cardiovascular disease among HIV-positive persons. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study with HIV positive individuals at public health center and non-AIDS govermental organization. We enrolled people diagnosed with HIV, age over 30 years old, and on CVD medications. We collected data of demographic, anthropometric and clinical information, smoking history, and non-fasting cholesterol and blood glucose. Estimation of 10-years CVD risk was calculated using the BMI-based Framingham Risk Score. RESULTS: Of 150 participants enrolled, 66.7% were male and mean age was 38.09 (SD = 7.99) years. The mean current CD4 counts was 493.3 (SD = 139.8) cells/mm3. Female were younger, had a shorter duration living with HIV and a shorted duration of receiving ART than males. About 8.7% of respondents had a high risk of developing a CVD event in the next 10 years, and higher among females than males. The most common CVD risk factors were smoking, high blood pressure, and hypercholestrolemia. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that HIV positive persons who are at risk for developing CVD in the next 10-years. There is an increasing need for educational programs on CVD prevention for the HIV-positive person and to further facilitate the identification of persons at elevated risk in routine practice.
