The aim of the user study was to evaluate how the developed assistive physical keyboard, the Ezi-PAD, and integrated senior friendly applications, can encourage non-smartphone seniors to start using the smartphone and enable senior smartphone users to continue using a smartphone in spite of...
... There is a clinical need for improved ambulatory, frequent and unobtrusive monitoring of blood pressure and cardiac parameters like systolic time intervals. Truly unobtrusive wearable devices combining impedance cardiography with other sensors may be one possible solution. The IsenseU-BP+ device...
The aim of this case study has been to investigate to what extent user centered design (UCD) methodologies have been applied, how the process and outcomes were perceived by project team members, and what were potential barriers towards meeting end user needs. The case studied was the European Union...
The motivation for these experiments was to investigate the amount and type of protein adsorption on surfaces that can be used as protective coatings on membrane based in vivo devices. Adsorption of proteins to a selection of biocompatible coatings (titanium oxide, diamond-like carbon, parylene C...
Coordination of information and resources is central to efficient ward management. Tools to aid coordination include standardized procedures and paper lists and, more recently, electronic tools such as whiteboards and mobile solutions. This study reports on the experiences and effects of designing...
SamKAD-prosjektet har vært et innovasjonsprosjekt i offentlig sektor i regi av Helseetaten i Oslo kommune. Gjennom forskning og innovasjon har målsettingen vært å utvikle samhandlingsløsninger til bruk i klinisk drift på KAD-sengeposter og legevakt som gir økt kvalitet i pasientbehandlingen...
This report summarize the experience from testing the EziSmart solution. The solution consist of the smartphone casing with physical keyboard, the Ezi-Pad, and a suite of applications. Nine seniors, some experienced smartphone users some not, started to evaluate the system in June 2016. Five out of...

...amount provided by the inventor. Positive response “This was an idea that grabbed our attention at once”, says researcher and Project Manager Hanne Opsahl Austad at SINTEF ICT. “We all know that smartphones make communication with the outside world very easy, and that this enhances our quality of life...
Objective: One promising approach for a continuous, noninvasive, cuff-less ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitor is to measure the pulse wave velocity or the inversely proportional pulse transit time (PTT), based on electrical and optical physiological measurements in the chest area. A device...
Tilsvarende sum i egenandel fra günder. Forsker-ja – Dette var en løsning som fanget vår interesse ganske raskt, forteller forsker og prosjektleder Hanne Opsahl Austad i SINTEF IKT. En smarttelefon gjør det jo veldig enkelt å kommunisere med omverdenen, og det er jo noe som hever livskvaliteten veldig, særlig...
