Objective: To develop and validate indicators for the evaluation of computerized systems in vaccination rooms.
Methods: Methodological study. From the construction of a logical model for managing information produced in computerized systems in vaccination rooms, an evaluation indicator matrix was developed, and its contents were validated by specialists using the Delphi method. The degree of relevance and clarity were judged, using the following parameters: agreement percentage ≥ 90%; content validity index > 0.78. Internal consistency was tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.93.
Results: Of the 55 proposed indicators, 48 were validated and composed the final matrix, with 13 in the structure dimension, 29 in the process dimension, and six in the outcome dimension.
Conclusion: The set of indicators shows validity and high reliability, and can be used to evaluate computerized systems in vaccination rooms throughout the country, as it adhered to the recommendations of the National Immunization Program.

Introduction: Varicocele has a detrimental effect on testicular growth and spermatogenesis, hence the importance of its management. This management remains controversial among Tunisian urologists; diagnostic and therapeutic choices tend to vary from one urologist to another.
Aim: The aim of this survey is to evaluate the practices of Tunisian urologists regarding varicocele management compared to the latest international guidelines.
Previous findings have raised doubt in whether comparable conformity effects can be obtained for information from humans and computers or other systems of little or no social importance. In the present study, we compared the impact of "other choices" (i.e.

Regular use of standardized observational tools to assess nonverbal pain behaviors results in improved pain care for older adults with severe dementia. While frequent monitoring of pain behaviors in long-term care (LTC) is constrained by resource limitations, computer vision technology has the potential to mitigate these challenges. A computerized algorithm designed to assess pain behavior in older adults with and without dementia was recently developed and validated using video recordings.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition causing significant pain and functional impairment. Acupuncture has shown promise as an adjunctive therapy, but conventional manual selection of acupoints lacks standardization. The Acugraph system provides a computerized method for identifying acupoints, potentially enhancing treatment precision.

Background: Manual counting for semen analysis is recommended by the World Health Organization. Technicians performing this usually record their results on a paper worksheet and then enter the data into an electronic laboratory information system. One disadvantage of this approach is the chance of post-analytical transcription errors, which can be reduced by checking the computer entries before reporting by another technician.
