“…[2][3][4][5][6][7] Indeed, in the literature, there are several papers which propose AHP to de¯ne the priorities and criteria which allow the correct evaluation of the medical technologies. [8][9][10][11] When the complexity of the problem increases, as for choices regarding the healthcare system, the optimized solution depends on many di®erent factors, often in con°ict with each other. Using the AHP methodology, the decision-making process is driven by the adoption of criteria conveniently identi¯ed and selected.…”

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a methodology, based on both mathematical and psychological approaches, exploited to analyze and solve complex problems, in order to make the best decision. AHP is also widely employed for the evaluation of healthcare systems. It works by splitting the decision problem into a hierarchy of more easily-comprehended sub-problems, each of which can be independently analyzed. Starting from these assumptions, our work aims to implement a dynamic framework for the AHP methodology, able to overcome the static nature of the technique, taking into account the evaluations associated with criteria and sub-criteria as a function of time. In the context of this paper, the Dynamic AHP is implemented as a tool for Health Technology Assessment (HTA). Indeed, the proposed case study concerns the evaluation of a new health technology for the thyroglobulin assay in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. To this aim, we have defined the decision problem and formalized criteria and sub-criteria hierarchically; then, in order to deal with the problem from a dynamical point of view, i.e., to take into account the time dependence of criteria and sub-criteria, we developed several System Dynamics models, one for each criterion. In this context, it is shown that the Dynamic AHP approach provides a dynamic evaluation of the system, which allows to identify the best decision by exploiting the information on the possible evolution of the problem due to its time behavior, rather than taking the decision at a fixed time point, as the Static AHP does.

“…However, population ageing means much more in its consequences (Turner et al 1998). There are evidently both social and economical costs associated (Tai 2012). As the situation evolves, economical costs become too expensive to be supported by the diminishing active population, leading to the bankruptcy of the social security systems.…”

The society is changing towards a new paradigm in which an increasing number of old adults live alone. In parallel, the incidence of conditions that affect mobility and independence is also rising as a consequence of a longer life expectancy. In this paper the specific problem of falls of old adults is addressed by devising a technological solution for monitoring these users. Video cameras, accelerometers and GPS sensors are combined in a multi-modal approach to monitor humans inside and outside the domestic environment. Machine learning techniques are used to detect falls and classify activities from accelerometer data. Video feeds and GPS are used to provide location inside and outside the domestic environment. It results in a monitoring solution that does not imply the confinement of the users to a closed environment.

“…A eficiência em serviços de saúde tem sido um tema cada vez mais relevante, na medida em que a demanda aumenta e os recursos tornam-se mais escassos (TAI;WILLIAMS, 2012;GARG et al, 2012, VISSERS;BERTRAND;DE VRIES, 2001). Da mesma forma, os crescentes investimentos e custos de operação são fatores que demandam atenção na gestão neste setor (MCDERMOTT;STOCK, 2007;BOWERS, 2014;ROMERO et al, 2013;MA;DEMEULEMEESTER, 2012).…”
