Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.1K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Movement Joints in Buildings

317
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

379
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Area of Science:

  • Engineering and Technology
  • Computer Science
  • Assistive Technology

Background:

  • Smart furniture, integrating Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems, and assistive technologies, is an emerging field.
  • A comprehensive synthesis of its components, applications, and market readiness is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize the technological configurations, applications, validation methods, maturity levels, and commercialization of smart furniture prototypes.
  • To identify research gaps and provide recommendations for future development and market readiness.

Main Methods:

  • A PRISMA-guided systematic review of 35 studies published between 2014 and 2024 from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
  • Data extraction focused on technological pillars (data collection, transmission/processing, actuation), applications, validation, and Technology Readiness Levels (TRL).

Main Results:

  • Three key technological pillars were identified: data collection, transmission/processing, and actuation, often combined in multifunctional systems.
  • Health monitoring was the dominant application, followed by environmental control and assistive functions for older adults.
  • Most research is pre-commercial, with only one solution reaching TRL 7; significant gaps exist in AI integration, long-term validation, and participatory design.

Conclusions:

  • Smart furniture holds significant promise for healthcare and independent living.
  • Standardized evaluation, ethical data practices, and co-creation are crucial for achieving market readiness.
  • Further research should address identified gaps to accelerate commercialization and adoption.
