A novel disease diagnostic algorithm for ECG signal processing based on forward search is implemented in Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for cardiovascular disease diagnosis on smartphone. An ASIC is fabricated using 130-nm CMOS low leakage process technology. The area of our PQRST ASIC is 1.21 mm. The energy dissipation of PQRST ASIC is 96 pJ with a supply voltage of 0.9 V. The outputs from the ASIC are fed to an Android application that generates diagnostic report and can be sent to a cardiologist via email. The ASIC and Android application are verified for the detection of bundle branch block, hypertrophy, arrhythmia and myocardial infarction using Physionet PTB diagnostic ECG database. The failed detection rate is 0.69%, 0.69%, 0.34% and 1.72% for bundle branch block, hypertrophy, arrhythmia and myocardial infarction respectively. The AV block is detected in all the three patients in the Physionet St. Petersburg arrhythmia database. Our proposed ASIC together with our Android application is the most suitable for an energy efficient wearable cardiovascular disease detection system.

Purpose: Study aimed to compare incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI), type of bacteria grown, development of antibiotic resistance over 2 years in children whose caregivers underwent training based on the Roy Adaptation Model with an android phone application for patients clean intermittent catheterization (RAMACIC) versus those whose caregivers received routine training in hospital.

Method: This study was conducted as a descriptive, prospective study with 40 patients and caregivers between October 2021 and 2023 as a continuation of a previously conducted randomized controlled experimental study by the researchers. Data were collected the "Participant Form," and "Urine Test Form" analyzed with the SPSS 22 package.

School of Nursing, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, 5/F, Academic Building, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, China (Hong Kong), 852 39176690.

Background: Breastfeeding is vital for the health and well-being of both mothers and infants, and it is crucial to create supportive environments that promote and maintain breastfeeding practices.

Objective: The objective of this paper was to describe the development of a breastfeeding-friendly app called "bfGPS" (HKU TALIC), which provides comprehensive territory-wide information on breastfeeding facilities in Hong Kong, with the goal of fostering a breastfeeding-friendly community.

Methods: The development of bfGPS can be categorized into three phases, which are (1) planning, prototype development, and preimplementation evaluation; (2) implementation and updates; and (3) usability evaluation.

Inference using deep neural networks on mobile devices has been an active area of research in recent years. The design of a deep learning inference framework targeted for mobile devices needs to consider various factors, such as the limited computational capacity of the devices, low power budget, varied memory access methods, and I/O bus bandwidth governed by the underlying processor's architecture. Furthermore, integrating an inference framework with time-sensitive applications - such as games and video-based software to perform tasks like ray tracing denoising and video processing - introduces the need to minimize data movement between processors and increase data locality in the target processor.
