“…This is consistent with research by Abelson et al [ 77 ] which found that older adults are as willing as younger adults to engage with mHealth. Technologies with the capacity for objective, detailed in-clinic assessment are emerging, such as the Kinect (Microsoft Corp) reachable workspace system, as applied in a breast cancer population by Uhm et al [ 78 ], and a smartphone-based fatigue test developed by Cuesta-Vargas et al [ 79 ]. As a key stakeholder in these technologies, the openness of patients to the use of effective, helpful technologies is essential.…”

Background Physiotherapy-led home rehabilitation after breast cancer surgery can protect against the development of upper limb dysfunction and other disabling consequences of surgery. A variety of barriers can limit physical rehabilitation outcomes, and patients may benefit from more support during this time. Mobile health (mHealth) systems can assist patients during rehabilitation by providing exercise support, biofeedback, and information. Before designing mHealth systems for a specific population, developers must first engage with users to understand their experiences and needs. Objective The aims of this study were to explore patients’ rehabilitation experiences and unmet needs during home rehabilitation after breast cancer surgery and to understand their experiences of mHealth technology and the requirements they desire from an mHealth system. Methods This was the first stage of a user-centered design process for an mHealth system. We interviewed 10 breast cancer survivors under the two main topics of “Rehabilitation” and “Technology” and performed a thematic analysis on the interview data. Results Discussions regarding rehabilitation focused on the acute and long-term consequences of surgery; unmet needs and lack of support; self-driven rehabilitation; and visions for high-quality rehabilitation. Regarding technology, participants reported a lack of mHealth options for this clinical context and using non-cancer–specific applications and wearables. Participants requested an mHealth tool from a reliable source that provides exercise support. Conclusions There are unmet needs surrounding access to physiotherapy, information, and support during home rehabilitation after breast cancer surgery that could be addressed with an mHealth system. Breast cancer survivors are open to using an mHealth system and require that it comes from a reliable source and focuses on supporting exercise performance.

In this era of fourth industrial revolution, young learners need to be equipped with 21 st century skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, innovation and problem solving. Augmented Reality (AR) based learning systems are an effective tool to embed these skills. This paper presents a detailed review of latest research on an AR-based learning systems. Furthermore, an AR-based learning system is proposed to demonstrate the particle physics experiments i.e. proton-proton collision and Higgs field. The proposed learning system algorithms are developed using particle system of unity 3D software. Then, Microsoft Kinect sensor is interfaced with unity 3D to create an immersive experience. Then, the qualitative analysis of the proposed system and latest AR-based learning systems is presented. Finally, the quantitative analysis of the proposed system is conducted. Overall, the results suggest that 85% of the participants recommended the proposed learning system.
