This essential guide to doing social research in this fast-evolving digital age explains how the digital revolution is transforming the way social scientists observe behavior, ask questions, run experiments, and engage in mass collaborations.
As technology continues to develop, the healthcare industry must adapt and implement new technologies and services. Recent advancements, opportunities, and challenges for bio-medical image processing and authentication in telemedicine must be considered to ensure patients receive the best possible care. Advancements in Bio-Medical Image Processing and Authentication in Telemedicine introduces recent advancements, opportunities, and challenges for bio-medical image processing and authentication in telemedicine and discusses the design of high-accuracy decision support systems. Covering key topics such as artificial intelligence, medical imaging, telemedicine, and technology, this premier reference source is ideal for medical professionals, nurses, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
This book provides an interdisciplinary concept of digital working environments in industry 4.0 to enable the implementation of the digital twin of humans. Information and communication technology is penetrating all areas of daily life at a rapid pace in private and professional areas. These technologies enable companies to aggregate huge volumes of data. Collected personal data of employees creates the opportunity of a digital representation of the human being itself, that is conformant with the definition of a digital twin. These digital twins of humans include selected characteristics and behaviour of the humans, that are linked to models, information, and data. According to existing trend studies, the digital twin of humans is a technology that will have a significant impact on the economy, society, and people. It is important to consider the regulatory framework for the use of personal data and threats of misuse. This book will be of use to researchers and professionals in industry.
Within the past decade, we have witnessed an increased adoption of emerging technologies as well as the exponential pace of scientific discoveries within all industries. The level of digital innovation and digital transformation experienced in healthcare and life sciences has been markedly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a new sense of urgency to design and develop a new global health ecosystem that is more suitable for the digital era and future generations. Deploying precision medicine solutions that can redefine the way we diagnose and treat disease, as well as shift the focus towards a customized human-centered approach, such as those offered by personalized medicine, can be a viable sustainable model. Digital Identity in the New Era of Personalized Medicine highlights the latest trends in precision medicine and the important role digital identity plays in upholding ethical values, safeguarding human rights, and practicing responsible personalized medicine. It provides an overview of the current healthcare legal and regulatory landscapes as well as some of the major challenges and opportunities we face in this digital, virtual, and precision medicine-powered era. Covering topics such as data-centric compliance, global health, and identity management, this book is an essential resource for doctors, healthcare administration, academicians, clinicians, health and bio-tech executives, researchers, medical professionals, medical engineers, medical students, and government officials looking for a resource that addresses challenges in healthcare including trust, privacy, data integrity, and ownership.
Nature gives us ample opportunity to understand and observe her secrets, and scientists and inventors can and do study the characteristics of things in nature to come up with amazing and astonishing technologies and products invented as a result. This new volume provides a sampling of technological issues that have been tackled with the help of biologically inspired engineering, by such things in nature as bionic plants, the lotus leaf, insects and beetles, geckos, bats, spiders, and butterflies. It considers bio-inspired technologies that have been applied in water purification, for business lessons, in healthcare and medicine, and more. This unique volume is an inspiring resource for professionals, researchers, scholars, engineers, and businessmen and businesswomen interested in the latest developments by studying the wonders of natural science.
