Automated summarisation of SDOCT volumes using deep learning: Transfer learning vs de novo trained networks.

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that generates high-resolution volumetric images. This modality finds widespread usage in ophthalmology for the diagnosis and management of various ocular conditions. The volumes generated can contain 200 or more B-scans.

Press touch code: A finger press based screen size independent authentication scheme for smart devices.

Due to recent advancements and appealing applications, the purchase rate of smart devices is increasing at a higher rate. Parallely, the security related threats and attacks are also increasing at a greater ratio on these devices. As a result, a considerable number of attacks have been noted in the recent past.

The personal health record: consumers banking on their health.

With personal health records (PHRs) acting much like ATM cards, increasingly wired consumers can "bank on health", accessing their own personal health information and a wide array of services. Consumer-owned, the PHR is dependent upon the existence of the legal electronic medical record (EMR) and interoperability. Working PHRs are in place in Veterans Health Administration, private health care institutions, and in the commercial sector.

Clinician use of enabling technology: creating a new healthcare system through the use of enabling technologies requires changes on a profound scale.

Creating a new healthcare system through the use of enabling technologies requires changes on a profound scale--changes in how clinicians work and think. Integrating technology into professional curricula for physicians and nurses is crucial. Research into the role that human factors play in technology adoption is laying the groundwork for successful implementations that support clinical processes.

Personal health records: empowering consumers.

By empowering consumers, electronic personal health records (ePHRs, more commonly PHRs) will play a key role in the evolving electronically enabled health information environment. Consumers want to be more engaged in their own healthcare and are seeking out information online. Despite intense concerns about confidentiality and security, they have high expectations for electronic health information.
