An intelligent decision supporting system for international classification of functioning, disability, and health

Abstract

Background: In recent years, the population structure in Taiwan has changed so dramatically. Based on concerns of social welfare issues, Taiwanese government began to seek principles for assessment of disability. After seven years of carefully evaluation, the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (Abbreviated to ICF) is officially adopted as Taiwan's assessment standard while most of the assessment procedures of ICF are sophisticated, and time consuming. In this paper, we propose a sensor based decision supporting system for ICF. Our prototype system aims to reduce the burden of medical staffs, and to assist subjects to perform the assessments.

Design of a portable device to store and disinfect masks of SARS-CoV-2 virus using Peltier modules

“…The idea of replacing air-conditioning system used in vehicles with Peltier-cooled air conditioners is considered in the paper by [2] , resulting in reduction of total weight of the vehicle and also increase in overall fuel economy. The use of TMP36 temperature sensor to measure the body temperature of human beings is discussed by [5] . The ATtiny85 microcontroller used to gather data and control the RF receiver module for kinematic analysis of a toy car along the three axes is proposed by [3] .…”
