Learning from socially driven frugal innovation to design the future of healthcare: A case of mobile Primary Health Center.

Background And Aim: Despite their flaws, the low-cost but powerful economical solutions can ensure everyone has access to health. The main aim of this study is to extract characteristics of frugal innovation (FI) and social innovation (SI) for Primary Health Centers (PHCs) in low resource settings (LRS) for sustainable development. We will use the gained insights to design the mobile primary healthcare infrastructure using FI and SI strategies.

Primary Health Center: Can it be made mobile for efficient healthcare services for hard to reach population? A state-of-the-art review.

Indian healthcare system is in immediate need of a new healthcare delivery model to increase healthcare accessibility and improve the health outcomes of the marginalized. Inaccessibility and underutilization of Primary Health Centers (PHCs) disproportionately affect people living in remote areas. It is thus imperative for the designers, engineers, health professionals, and policymakers to come together with a collaborative mindset to develop innovative interventions that sustainably manage the accessibility of PHCs at large, promote preventive health, and thus improve the health outcomes of hard-to-reach communities.

Making primary healthcare delivery robust for low resource settings: Learning from Mohalla Clinics.

The present healthcare scenario is still in its compromised state, whether it is the lack of infrastructure, medicines and human resources, especially in rural India. Moreover, the condition worsens in rural areas due to several reasons like lack of awareness, proper roads to access, and lack of proper delivery of healthcare model. The state government of Delhi, India, set up the "Mohalla" Clinics to provide essential healthcare to residents of Delhi and the surrounding areas, focusing on the urban poor.

Anti-bacterial and arsenic remediation insights in aqueous systems onto heterogeneous metal oxide (CuAlFeO)/rGO hybrid: an approach towards airborne microbial degradation.

Copper-based ternary metal oxide (i.e., Cu0.

Mapping wheelchair functions and their associated functional elements for stair climbing accessibility: a systematic review.

Purpose: Wheelchair (WC) design elements are subjected to the accessibility and assistive needs of a person with locomotor disability. In order to pursue a holistic design for a stairclimbing WC, there is a need for literature review on WC functions reported for both stair climbing and plane surface movement.

Methods: A total of 112 Research articles are reviewed for the purpose of extracting the relationship between WC design elements and the functions associated with them.

Insights of arsenic (III/V) adsorption and electrosorption mechanism onto multi synergistic (redox-photoelectrochemical-ROS) aluminum substituted copper ferrite impregnated rGO.

The understanding of mechanistic insights in environmental remediation and mitigation systems is attracting larger attention, in recent days. Here in, aluminium substituted copper ferrite impregnated rGO hybrid (CAF-rGO) is verified to understand the adsorption/electrosorption mechanism of arsenic in aqueous systems. Near-surface study (XPS: As 3d, Cu 2p, Fe 2p, Al 2p, O 1s, C 1s) proposes redox, and ligand exchange reactions between contaminant, and CAF-rGO.

Redox synergistic Mn-Al-Fe and Cu-Al-Fe ternary metal oxide nano adsorbents for arsenic remediation with environmentally stable As(0) formation.

Arsenic mitigation behavior in aqueous systems is being evaluated for Mn-Al-Fe, Cu-Al-Fe nano adsorbents. Morphological, and vibrational spectroscopy analysis are observed with As-OH, and As-O surface complexes. XPS study of individual As(3d) spectra at different parameters is observed with multiplet peak behavior attributed to redox behavior of Mn-Al-Fe, Cu-Al-Fe.

Arsenic surface complexation behavior in aqueous systems onto Al substituted Ni, Co, Mn, and Cu based ferrite nano adsorbents.

The present study is about surface complexation behavior of arsenic species adsorbed onto ternary metal oxide adsorbents (Ni-Al-Fe, Co-Al-Fe, Mn-Al-Fe, and Cu-Al-Fe). The analysis is carried out by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) tool. XANES (μ(E) vs.

Aluminum Substituted Cobalt Ferrite (Co-Al-Fe) Nano Adsorbent for Arsenic Adsorption in Aqueous Systems and Detailed Redox Behavior Study with XPS.

Arsenic [As(III) and As(V)] adsorption on aluminum substituted cobalt ferrite (Co-Al-Fe) ternary metal oxide adsorbent is reported by means of qualitative and quantitative spectroscopy tools. IR and Raman active signals were observed around 810-920 cm band indicate different As-OH and As-O stretching vibrations on to the adsorbent. The adsorption behavior of arsenic (III and V) onto these adsorbents is studied as a function of contact time, different concentrations, and pH conditions.
