This article reports on the development and administration of a programme in seven rural villages in the Mexican state of Oaxaca to address high rates of cervical cancer. The rationale and strategy are described on which the programme is based. The development and administration of the programme (to 1513 women) is presented, aimed at enabling women to take better care of themselves. Various additional activities that were added in the course of the programme in order to facilitate contextual factors are also described, including community campaigning, programmes with men and the training of health personnel. Effectiveness was evaluated in terms of both process and impact indices, showing high rates of attendance at programme sessions by enrolled women, an increase in knowledge and a substantial increase in the number of preventive diagnostic tests. The final section reflects on both the achievements, and the scope and the limitations of the programme.
Remote coaching for sports is challenged by the lack of 3D spatial communication. While athletes send live or recorded videos to their coaches, these 2D representations fail to capture the spatial relationships of the body, limiting the ability to understand timing, weight distribution, and smoothness in an athletic movement. This demonstration presents Augmented Coach, an AR sports coaching platform for coaches to remotely view, manipulate, and annotate athletic movements in 3D augmented space. Also, this demonstration provides an adaptive platform to study real-time efficient volumetric data transmission between remotely connected devices, including over 5G cellular networks.
