Portable computers and applications in respiratory care.

چکیده
Personal digital assistants (PDAs) have had a tremendous impact in the clinical setting, as they have in business and education environments. This report explores the health care application of PDAs, compares available PDA devices and software, and discusses PDA use for tracking patients, documenting clinical procedures, medical education, research, and accessing medical reference material. This report aims to increase awareness among health care providers about the potential roles of PDAs and to encourage further evaluation of PDAs in respiratory care.

Wider acceptance and utilization have been stifled by costs, both initial and ...
متن کاملA portable forced oscillation device for respiratory home monitoring.
The increase in the prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases has resulted in a rise in health services provided at home. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) proves to be a useful tool when it is desired to assess lung function noninvasively, and particularly for patients in whom spirometry cannot be applied. As no portable FOT device is currently available, the aim of this study was to des...

متن کاملA High Efficiency Low-Voltage Soft Switching DC–DC Converter for Portable Applications
This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...
