Adherence Monitor for Measurement of Removable Cast Walker Wear-Time: Multiple Sensors and Predictive Analytics Improve Accuracy.

Background: Treatment of diabetes and its complications is a primary health care expense. Up to 25% of people with diabetes will develop diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Removable cast walker (RCW) boots commonly prescribed for DFU treatment, promote healing, and provide offloading and wound protection.

Collegiate athlete brain data for white matter mapping and network neuroscience.

We describe a dataset of processed data with associated reproducible preprocessing pipeline collected from two collegiate athlete groups and one non-athlete group. The dataset shares minimally processed diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) data, three models of the diffusion signal in the voxel, full-brain tractograms, segmentation of the major white matter tracts as well as structural connectivity matrices. There is currently a paucity of similar datasets openly shared.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of the Diabetic Foot: From Research to Practice.

Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are devastating, common, and costly. The mortality of veterans following a DFU is sobering with ulceration recognized as a significant marker of disease severity. Given the dramatic impact of diabetic foot complications to the veteran and the US health care system, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has long recognized the importance of preventive care for those at risk.

Supporting trust in home healthcare providers: insights into the care recipients' perspective.

Successful care in home health for older adults is heavily dependent on the relationships between care recipients and care providers. A key component of that relationship is trust. To investigate trust in this context, we explored what older care recipients perceive as supporting trust in home care providers.

Understanding Older Adult's Perceptions of Factors that Support Trust in Human and Robot Care Providers.

As the population of older adults increase so will the need for care providers, both human and robot. Trust is a key aspect to establish and maintain a successful older adult-care provider relationship. However, due to trust volatility it is essential to understand it within specific contexts.
