Summary
A new smart mobile system for integrated elder care was developed in China. Usability testing showed the system, based on the CARE instrument, was well-received by elderly individuals and nurses.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Health Informatics
- Digital Health
Background:
- Integrated care is crucial for elderly well-being but underdeveloped in China.
- The CARE instrument provides a framework for assessing integrated care needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a novel smart mobile system for integrated elder care in China.
- To assess the usability and acceptance of the system among elderly users and healthcare providers.
Main Methods:
- Development of a smart mobile system using the CARE instrument and stakeholder-specific apps.
- Usability evaluation employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAMM) tool.
- Convenience sampling of 11 elderly participants and 18 nurses.
Main Results:
- The smart mobile system was well-appreciated by both elderly individuals and nurses.
- Usability study indicated positive reception and potential for adoption.
- The system demonstrated feasibility for integrated care delivery.
Conclusions:

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location
1.0K
The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition
24.4K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Integration by Parts: Indefinite Integrals
211
Integration by parts is a fundamental technique in calculus for evaluating integrals involving the product of two functions. It is particularly useful when direct integration is not feasible. The method is based on the product rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of a product equals the derivative of the first function times the second, plus the first function times the derivative of the second. By integrating this identity and rearranging terms, the integration by parts...
