Health monitoring can provide scientific and reasonable care for elderly users, professionally monitor the health parameters of the human body, and timely understand the user's own physical condition. By installing sensors with different functions in the rooms where the elderly often move and by installing vital signs sensors on their bodies, the data detected by the sensors are collected and analyzed in real time. Nursing refers to the fact that nursing staff must strictly follow the nursing system and operating procedures in the nursing work, accurately implement the doctor's orders, implement the nursing plan, and ensure that the patient is physically and mentally safe during treatment and recovery. Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease in which bone density and bone quality are decreased due to various reasons, and the microstructure of bone is destroyed, resulting in increased bone fragility, which is prone to fractures. Osteoporosis is divided into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary osteoporosis is divided into postmenopausal osteoporosis (Type I), senile osteoporosis (Type II), and idiopathic osteoporosis (including adolescent forms). This paper aims to study the healthcare effect of health monitoring system on elderly patients with osteoporosis, expecting to use the health monitoring system to provide more scientific care for the elderly and reduce the pain caused by osteoporosis. This paper proposes a study from the users of the elderly health monitoring products and the elderly home health products and analyzes the influencing factors of the usability design of the elderly home health monitoring system. This paper designs the overall framework of the elderly health monitoring system and designs the main components and application functions of the system. The experimental results in this paper show that there are 20 patients with osteoporosis due to lack of light, accounting for 16%. There are 10 patients with osteoporosis due to excessive coffee intake, accounting for 8%. There are 90 people who normally eat eggs, accounting for 75%, and 66 people who eat meat normally, accounting for 55%. According to the data, the health monitoring system can effectively control the diet of patients with osteoporosis.
BACKGROUND Studies have shown increasing COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy among migrant populations in certain settings compared to the general population. Hong Kong has a growing migrant population with diverse ethnic backgrounds. Apart from individual-level factors, little is known about the migrants’ preference related to COVID-19 vaccines. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate which COVID-19 vaccine–related attributes combined with individual factors may lead to vaccine acceptance or refusal among the migrant population in Hong Kong. METHODS An online discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted among adults, including Chinese people, non-Chinese Asian migrants (South, Southeast and Northeast Asians), and non-Asian migrants (Europeans, Americans, and Africans) in Hong Kong from February 26 to April 26, 2021. The participants were recruited using quota sampling and sent a link to a web survey. The vaccination attributes included in 8 choice sets in each of the 4 blocks were vaccine brand, safety and efficacy, vaccine uptake by people around, professionals’ recommendation, vaccination venue, and quarantine exemption for vaccinated travelers. A nested logistic model (NLM) and a latent-class logit (LCL) model were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 208 (response rate 62.1%) migrant participants were included. Among the migrants, those with longer local residential years (n=31, 27.7%, for ≥10 years, n=7, 20.6%, for 7-9 years, n=2, 6.7%, for 4-6 years, and n=3, 9.7%, for ≤3 years; <i>P</i>=.03), lower education level (n=28, 28.3%, vs n=15, 13.9%, <i>P</i>=.01), and lower income (n=33, 25.2%, vs n=10, 13.2%, <i>P</i>=.04) were more likely to refuse COVID-19 vaccination irrespective of vaccination attributes. The BioNTech vaccine compared with Sinovac (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.75, 95% CI 1.14-2.68), vaccine with 90% (AOR=1.44, 95% CI 1.09-1.91) and 70% efficacy (AOR=1.21, 95% CI 1.03-1.44) compared with 50% efficacy, vaccine with fewer serious adverse events (1/100,000 compared with 1/10,000; AOR=1.12, 95% CI 1.00-1.24), and quarantine exemption for cross-border travelers (AOR=1.14, 95% CI 1.01-1.30) were the vaccine attributes that could increase the likelihood of vaccination among migrants. For individual-level factors, full-time homemakers (AOR=0.44, 95% CI 0.29-0.66), those with chronic conditions (AOR=0.61, 95% CI 0.41-0.91) and more children, and those who frequently received vaccine-related information from the workplace (AOR=0.42, 95% CI 0.31-0.57) were found to be reluctant to accept the vaccine. Those with a higher income (AOR=1.79, 95% CI 1.26-2.52), those knowing anyone infected with COVID-19 (AOR=1.73, 95% CI 1.25-2.38), those having greater perceived susceptibility of COVID-19 infection (AOR=3.42, 95% CI 2.52-4.64), those who received the influenza vaccine (AOR=2.15, 95% CI 1.45-3.19), and those who frequently received information from social media (AOR=1.52, 95% CI 1.12-2.05) were more likely to accept the vaccine. CONCLUSIONS This study implies that migrants have COVID-19 vaccination preference heterogeneity and that more targeted and tailored approaches are needed to promote vaccine acceptance for different subgroups of the migrant population in Hong Kong. Vaccination promotion strategies are needed for low-education and low-income migrant groups, migrants with chronic diseases, the working migrant population, homemakers, and parents.
Previous research into the exclusion of disabled persons from paid work tends to compartmentalize them into a stable and undifferentiated category of “cared‐for” subjects. This fixation implicitly approves the ethics of work as the exclusive source of their dignity and citizenship. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with Myasthenia Gravis patients and their families, this paper argues that a subscription to the logic of interdependence that organizes the ethics of care enables our participants to transcend the conventional carer/cared‐for dichotomy. However, the patriarchal structures in which the agency of our participants finds expression create a gendered distribution of care. By delimiting the possibilities of social membership for disabled persons, this paper embraces the care ethics as an alternative to that of work. It nevertheless circumscribes care by bringing into relief its differential and contingent qualities.
