Unlabelled: Health research teams routinely face difficulties processing clinical data to determine risk profiles in susceptible populations.
Aim: Generate a risk profile of avoidable hospitalizations in older adult patients using integrated healthcare networks of the Southern Metropolitan Health Service (SSMS) of the Metropolitan Region of Chile from 2019-2021.
Methods: The present research has a retrospective longitudinal descriptive design of anonymized clinical database records from four Family Health Centers and a high-complexity South Metropolitan Health Service (SMHS) hospital.
The mechanics of the extracellular matrix (ECM) determine cell activity and fate through mechanoresponsive proteins including Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP). Rigidity and viscous relaxation have emerged as the main mechanical properties of the ECM steering cell behavior. However, how cells integrate coexisting ECM rigidity and viscosity cues remains poorly understood, particularly in the high-stiffness regime.

However, optimal VP design for enhancing interactivity and authenticity remains unclear. Novel interactive modalities, such as large language model (LLM)-enhanced social robotic VPs might increase interactivity and authenticity in CR skill practice.
