Datafication processes, the ongoing strive for making organizations data-driven, have in recent years entailed data-focused software projects and more interdisciplinary teamwork. Simultaneously as agile product teams have been directed towards increased use of data for software development, stronger...
Balance impairment is frequent in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) and affects risk of falls and quality of life. By using inertial measurement units (IMUs) on the Single Leg Stance Test (SLS) we aimed to discriminate healthy controls (HC) from pwMS and detect differences in balance endurance...
Diagnosing, treatment, and follow-up care of patients is happening increasingly through telemedicine, especially in remote areas where direct interaction is hindered. Over the past three years, following the COVID-19 pandemic, the utility of remote patient care has been further field-tested...
Background and Challenges. Industry 4.0 focuses on smart factories that rely on IoT tech- nology for automation. This produces massive amounts of production data, increasing the demand for data-driven solutions and cloud technology. Yet, users of these solutions and cloud technology are often not...
Pair programming (PP) has been a widespread practice for decades and is known for facilitating knowledge exchange and improving the quality of software. Many agilists advocated the importance of collocation, face-to-face interaction, and physical artifacts incorporated in the shared workspace when...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is more and more omnipresent. The greater values of the IoT can be realized by enabling data sharing between different stakeholders. However, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring security and enabling trust for IoT data sharing. In this paper, we identify state-of...
IT vendors’ promises are likely to meet sound skepticism from prospective clients. If a particular technology is in vogue and seen as a “hype,” clients are under pressure to buy the technology while, at the same time, skepticism about its claimed benefits might be reinforced. Finding a balance...
Competing for talents requires a conscious effort to offer an attractive workplace, which, until recently, involved increasing employee empowerment and engagement and offering opportunities for bottom-up innovation. Today, this is not sufficient, pushing tech companies to harmonize existing...
Enhancing user privacy is crucial in improving the safety and efficiency of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), as it is a key factor for establishing user trust in the robot. Using privacy-preserving sensors and local processing of the user's data are ways to enhance privacy in HRI. This paper presents...
The use of electronic health systems is rapidly spreading in low- and middle-income countries (LLMICs). Empirical evidence shows that eHealth systems can improve access, quality, and equitable healthcare delivery, especially for the poor and vulnerable. Studies suggest that a lack of systems...
Deep learning-based methods, in particular, convolutional neural networks and fully convolutional networks are now widely used in the medical image analysis domain. The scope of this review focuses on the analysis using deep learning of focal liver lesions, with a special interest in hepatocellular...
Objective: The aim of this study was to provide a new machine learning method to determine temporal events and inner-cycle parameters (e.g., cycle, pole and ski contact and swing time) in cross-country roller-ski skating on the field, using a single inertial measurement unit (IMU). Methods: The...
Shared knowledge allows virtual teams to collaborate more effectively. Shared knowledge in teams, hereafter called team knowledge, must be established and maintained. This is a key enabler for agile development in a distributed context. Hence, organizations may benefit from efforts to ensure...
Spatial orientation is an important skill in structural cardiac imaging. Until recently, 3D cardiac ultrasound has been visualized on a flat screen by using volume rendering. Mixed reality devices enhance depth perception, spatial awareness, interaction, and integration in the physical world, which...
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a method using inertial measurements units (IMUs) to determine inner-cycle parameters (e.g., cycle, poles and skis contact, and swing time) and the main sub-techniques (i.e., G2, G3 and G4) in cross-country roller ski skating on a treadmill. The...
...eHealth applications and tools have the potential to improve coordination, knowledge, and information sharing between health professionals as well as continuity of care. One of the main obstacles hindering its full integration and use, particularly in the healthcare sector in developing and low and...
Large-scale transformations of agile ways of working have received more attention in the industry in recent years. Some organizations have developed their own solutions for scaling, whereas many have chosen trademarked frameworks. In large-scale agile software development, many developers and...
The aim of this work was to determine whether wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) could detect gait improvements across different disability groups of people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) by the six-minute walk test (6MWT) during a rehabilitation stay in a specialized rehabilitation center...
Modern industry witnesses a fast growth in volume and complexity of heterogeneous manufacturing (big) data [1, 2] thanks to the technological advances of Industry 4.0 [1, 3], including development in perception, communication, processing, and actuation....
