The disease burden of tuberculosis (TB) has been declining in the developed world but the goal of eradicating TB seems like a daunting task in the developing regions. Patients with unrecognized TB or those receiving inappropriate treatment pose the greatest risk to the global burden of the disease. The aim of this article is to share the first-hand experience of a doctor, the author, contracting TB and the associated psychological impact. This change in role from a doctor to a patient came as an enlightening experience for the author and would give an insight into the psychological aspect when planning to find effective ways in the fight to eradicate TB.

- * The RADAR-IoT framework is an open-source IoT gateway that connects various devices, processes data on-device, and integrates with cloud-based health platforms for real-time analysis.
- * By combining static IoT sensors with wearable devices, RADAR-IoT offers a comprehensive view of health and environment, making it useful in areas like infection control and monitoring chronic conditions, despite some existing limitations.
Holo-Stroke: Assessing for Immersive Stroke Care Through Stroke Hologram Teleportation.
Telemed J E Health
October 2024
Department of Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, California, USA.
Augmented reality enables the wearer to see both their physical environment and virtual objects. Holograms could allow 3D video of providers to be transmitted to distant sites, allowing patients to interact with virtual providers as if they are in the same physical space. Our aim was to determine if Tele-Stroke augmented with Holo-Stroke, compared with Tele-Stroke alone, could improve satisfaction and perception of immersion for the patient.
