Enhancing elderly patient journey: exploring immersive technology touchpoints and user experience in healthcare
No full textThis study examines the impact of Immersive Technologies (IMTs)on the elderly patients’ journey (PJ), the significance of UserExperience (UX) dimensions in quality care, and the drivers andbarriers to IMTs adoption. Using the Stimuli-Organism-Responseframework, we employed a qualitative multi-method approach.Interviews with 10 physiotherapists and 4 medical researchers,along with focus groups with 12 doctors, contributed to the devel-opment of a new PJ Map. Key findings highlight new ‘IMTs tech-nologies embedded in the PJ’, new ‘UX needs’, and ‘Obstacles andFacilitators to IMTs adoption’. Technologies range from awarenesstools (sensors, IoT) to advanced systems (wearables, AR/VR,robotics). The study emphasizes the role of UX in IMT adoption,offering strategic contributions for healthcare management.Recommendations include hybrid professions, training, patientsupport, and reevaluating the Patient Journey to incorporate tech-nological advancements, improving patient care, engagement, andresource management. Insights guide healthcare providers, policy-makers, and technology developers in advancing IMT integration,enhancing delivery, and addressing workforce shortages involving caregivers
How AI re-structure actors and relationship of the new Healthcare Ecosystem
No full textArtificial intelligence raises serious questions in all areas as it can help to address the majorchallenges facing contemporary society. Among the most critical sectors on which the greatchallenges will impact is the healthcare sector. Climate change, social change and demographictrends threaten its sustainability. Artificial intelligence can compensate and support the entireecosystem, but to understand and build optimal solutions, it is good to understand how thecurrent healthcare ecosystem is changing under the influence of artificial intelligence. Thispaper through a co-occurrence analysis mapped current trends and actors in the currenthealthcare ecosystem and then mapped current trends and actors in the healthcare ecosystembut transformed by AI.Once the main actors on which the research is focusing were identified, we proceeded inaccordance with the Actor Network Theory to map how the relationships between the nodeschange under the influence of the different types and tools of AI support. The paper offersnumerous theoretical and managerial perspectives by offering a first mapping of the healthcareecosystem marked by AI which can be of assistance in the implementation of social policies,construction of AI architectures and for a rethinking of the capabilities and roles of the differentactors of the AI’s healthcare ecosystem. It is confirmed how AI can risk making the human element disappear in most of activities, but it could help us become not only Human Plus butmost of all help us not to lose our Human Factor

This study investigates how the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, and Generation X engage with digital health services, aiming to bridge the digital divide and enhance User Experience (UX). Through qualitative research involving 26 semi-structured interviews with individuals from these age groups, the study identifies specific challenges and opportunities they encounter with a focus on telehealth. The results reveal key barriers to adoption and highlight strategies to enhance the user experience. The findings offer actionable recommendations for optimizing accessibility and usability, providing novel insights into the challenges and opportunities inherent in the design and delivery of new digital-health services with a focus on telehealth. This research contributes original perspectives on how to bridge the digital divide in telehealth, with implications for practitioners and future research in the field
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
