China's human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) prevention and control efforts have entered a new stage, necessitating the exploration of more effective intervention strategies. HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a proven method to prevent HIV infection, but its promotion in China faces challenges such as low public acceptance and inadequate service capacity. To further promote PrEP, the "HIV PrEP Model Exploration Project" was launched, exploring three PrEP service models: PrEP clinics, Digital services and physical testing, and PrEP self-service vending machines.

The work aims to leverage computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies to quantify key components in food distribution services. Specifically, it focuses on dish counting, content identification, and portion size estimation in a dining hall setting. An RGB camera is employed to capture the tray delivery process in a self-service restaurant, providing test images for plate counting and content identification algorithm comparison, using standard evaluation metrics.

Introduction: Sonographers are required to deliver unexpected news to expectant parents in real time during obstetric ultrasound scans. The complexity of these interactions requires sonographers to conduct the clinical task while communicating their findings and managing the expectant parent's response within the designated appointment time. Communication coaching for sonographers (CCS) is a tailored intervention that has previously been associated with improvements in confidence and news delivery practice.

As medical informatization continues to progress, the sophistication of smart medicine (SM) systems has led to a marked enhancement in the caliber of medical services provided. Nevertheless, the existing body of literature is sparse when it comes to frameworks for evaluating service quality, specifically within the domain of smart medicine (SM). Drawing on a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model that fuses the best-worst method (BWM) with the VIKOR approach, this research has crafted an innovative framework for assessing the service quality of SM.

Brain-computer interfaces allow the exchange of data between the brain and an external device, bypassing the muscular system. Clinical studies of invasive brain-computer interface technologies have been conducted for over 20 years. During this time, there has been a continuous improvement of approaches to neuronal signal processing in order to improve the quality of control of external devices.
