“…Use of e-health based programs are increasingly able to provide health information, personal advice, and reminders through smart-phones to encourage healthy behaviors and assist older persons to improve and maintain their functional independence. The evaluation of wearable sensors to detect frailty is ongoing and has gathered much interest [ 131 ]. An interesting model is the Ecological Momentary Assessment, which collects patient-reported outcome measures in real time [ 132 ].…”

Frailty in older people living with HIV: current status and clinical management

et al. 2022

This paper will update care providers on the clinical and scientific aspects of frailty which affects an increasing proportion of older people living with HIV (PLWH). The successful use of combination antiretroviral therapy has improved long-term survival in PLWH. This has increased the proportion of PLWH older than 50 to more than 50% of the HIV population. Concurrently, there has been an increase in the premature development of age-related comorbidities as well as geriatric syndromes, especially frailty, which affects an important minority of older PLWH. As the number of frail older PLWH increases, this will have an important impact on their health care delivery. Frailty negatively affects a PLWH’s clinical status, and increases their risk of adverse outcomes, impacting quality of life and health-span. The biologic constructs underlying the development of frailty integrate interrelated pathways which are affected by the process of aging and those factors which accelerate aging. The negative impact of sarcopenia in maintaining musculoskeletal integrity and thereby functional status may represent a bidirectional interaction with frailty in PLWH. Furthermore, there is a growing body of literature that frailty states may be transitional. The recognition and management of related risk factors will help to mitigate the development of frailty. The application of interdisciplinary geriatric management principles to the care of older PLWH allows reliable screening and care practices for frailty. Insight into frailty, increasingly recognized as an important marker of biologic age, will help to understand the diversity of clinical status occurring in PLWH, which therefore represents a fundamentally new and important aspect to be evaluated in their health care.

“…The SPS-TeDFeS-March "follows" and quantifies in detail, in addition to the times, other relevant biomechanical variables, after the test [4]. It provides objective data on gait symmetry, arm swing, elbow, and knee angles, the height of each ankle, the inclination of the spine concerning the vertical, the length and speed of the step and stride, the maximum height that each ankle reached, the force of different muscle groups exerted by the patient when standing up or, if dropped when sitting, the asymmetries of the extremities, and the acceleration when standing up, among others [98,99]. The technology is being field tested in several services of two hospitals of the SCS in Santander, Spain.…”

Which Factors Contribute to Innovative Performance? A Case Study Applied to the Food and Beverage Industry

This invited featured paper offers a Doctrinal Conception of sensing using Light (SuL) as an "umbrella" in which any sensing approach using Light Sciences and Technologies can be easily included. The key requirements of a sensing system will be quickly introduced by using a bottom-up methodology. Thanks to this, it will be possible to get a general conception of a sensor using Light techniques and know some related issues, such as its main constituted parts and types. The case in which smartness is conferred to the device is also considered. A quick "flight" over 10 significant cases using different principles, techniques, and technologies to detect diverse measurands in various sector applications is offered to illustrate this general concept. After reading this paper, any sensing approach using Light Sciences and Technologies may be easily included under the umbrella: sensing using Light or photonic sensors (PS).

“…Within this context, the geriatric syndrome of frailty and potential interventions directed at this condition have become notably pertinent [ 4 ]. The term "frailty" in the elderly has attracted growing attention, leading to various proposed definitions and assessment tools [ 5 , 6 ].…”

In this study, a new wireless electronic circuitry to analyze weight distribution was designed and incorporated into a chair to gather data related to common human postures (sitting and standing up). These common actions have a significant impact on various motor capabilities, including gait parameters, fall risk, and information on sarcopenia. The quality of these actions lacks an absolute measurement, and currently, there is no qualitative and objective metric for it. To address this, the designed analyzer introduces variables like Smoothness and Percussion to provide more information and objectify measurements in the assessment of stand-up/sit-down actions. Both the analyzer and the proposed variables offer additional information that can objectify assessments depending on the clinical eye of the physicians.
