Studies in health technology and informatics
Robots for older adults have a lot of potential. In order to create an overview of the developments in this area a systematic review of robots for older adults living independently was conducted. Robots were categorized based on their market readines...

Synchronization, TIGoRS, and Information Flow in Complex Systems: Dispositional Cellular Automata.

Nonlinear dynamics, psychology, and life sciences
Synchronization has a long history in physics where it refers to the phase matching of two identical oscillators. This notion has been extensively studied in physics as well as in biology, where it has been applied to such widely varying phenomena as...

Patient Centered Event Representation for the Treatment of Multifactorial Diseases: Current Progress and Challenges.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Events such as clinical interventions, adverse drug events are one of the basic semantic units in the clinical workflow and are the foundation of the pathway representation. Current research has mainly concentrated on event recognition through concep...
