Patients on general wards are at risk of complications, often associated with deviations in vital signs. Unfortunately, the currently used manual method of intermittently measuring vital signs is not optimal, potentially leading to late recognition and treatment of complications, and sometimes with serious …

With this contribution, the results of the measurement campaign performed with a synchronously distributed antenna array testbed operating at the center frequency of 3.686 GHz are presented. For the first time, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the electric field distribution indu ced by coherent …

The development of virtual reality technologies promises new opportunities for mirror therapy. It allows the addition of gamification elements and gives patients the opportunity to practice independently, in their own time and at their own location. Even though studies show positive difference between …

Owing to the non-toxic, nonimmunogenic effects and high affinity to specific molecules, some single-stranded oligonucleotides, namely aptamers, can be exploited in biochemical applications to deliver bioactive elements and interact with the desired targets. Among many identified aptamers, D#7 was utilized …

Support for relatives is highly important in the intensive care unit (ICU). During the first COVID-19 wave support for relatives had to be changed considerably. The alternative support could have decreased the quality and sense of support. We aimed to evaluate how support for relatives in Dutch ICUs …

In this report, the question “How can gamification elements be used in data visualizations that are aimed at children ages 6 – 12 in The Netherlands, to communicate the most current topics of sustainability within the household?” is answered through extensive desk research, surveys, and brainstorm workshops …

This report analyzes the workflow between UX designers, product owners, and developers, and the design system used by UX designers at Studyportals, evaluating its strengths and weaknesses and proposing improvements for a more efficient and collaborative process. It emphasizes the importance of a design …

The following readable informs about the use case of motion capture technology developed by Movella inside a videogame development pipeline. By demonstrating the key features of the technology and the corresponding reasoning behind the design choices, this paper analyses and summarizes the necessary …
