Het lectoraat Brain and Technology heeft een specifieke wearable die het in gaat zetten in onderzoeken. Van deze wearable (de E4-polsband) is onduidelijk in hoeverre deze valide en betrouwbaar ingezet kan worden voor het meten van stress.   Uit eerdere onderzoeken is duidelijk dat het signaal uit de …

Music interventions are used for stress reduction in a variety of settings because of the positive effects of music listening on both physiological arousal (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, and hormonal levels) and psychological stress experiences (e.g., restlessness, anxiety, and nervousness). To summarize …

Het doel van dit retrospectieve onderzoek is om aanbevelingen te geven over de jodiumconcentratie in de contrastvloeistof, de maximale hartfrequentie en de correcte fase in het RR-interval van de hartfrequentie voor een goed te beoordelen Computer Tomografie Angiografie Coronairen (CTAC) scan, in het …

Occupational stress can cause all kinds of health problems. Resilience interventions that help employees deal with and adapt to adverse events can prevent these negative consequences. Due to advances in sensor technology and smartphone applications, relatively unobtrusive self-monitoring of resilience-related …

Presentatie op het 9e Supporting Health by Technology congres in Martiniplaza, Groningen.

Background: This paper describes the Co-Care-KIT, a reflective toolkit designed to provide insights into the diverse experiences of home-based informal caregivers during the delivery of care to a relative or loved one. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the toolkit, including a custom-designed …

Background: Cardiac output measurements may inform diagnosis and provide guidance of therapeutic interventions in patients with hemodynamic instability. The FloTrac™ algorithm uses uncalibrated arterial pressure waveform analysis to estimate cardiac output. Recently, a new version of the algorithm has …

When firefighting, the combination of exposition to high temperatures, high physical demands and wearing (heavy and insulated) personal protective equipment lead to increased risk of heat stress and exhaustion in firefighters. Heat stress can easily evolve into a life-threatening heat stroke. Once heat …

PURPOSE: Clinical examination is often the first step to diagnose shock and estimate cardiac index. In the Simple Intensive Care Studies-I, we assessed the association and diagnostic performance of clinical signs for estimation of cardiac index in critically ill patients. METHODS: In this prospective, …
