I strongly recommend all learners to take this survey so that we can know where and by whom exactly AI can be focused and you all see the real use of AI, In preventive care or curative care at home care or hospital...etc.
-
If you are from Taiwan, you can register and check your own data and predictions :-)
-
Yes, we are working on models that can predict cancer in next 3 years of time.

Shabbir Syed-Abdul replied to Farhad Ali
You are correct Farhad Ali, It is the AI developer who should be taking caution when selecting the training data while developing the AI algorithms. He/She needs to know how much generalization is possible. Its good that you pointed out this issue.

Its "Alexander Fleming " not Alexander family.. sorry for typo.
-
"Today preventive care by govt institutions ends in information dissemination using documents/pamphlets..." Exactly.. therefore we need to try to encourage on pulling information from patient side. Empower patients to get authenticate information...

How hard it can be to connect a device to Wifi. Once you are connected, It is so easy to use. Yes, It works on voice recognition. Anyone speaking English can use it. This tool can be useful to common people to get first-hand information.
You mentioned correct, cancer can be caused by multiple factors, such as lifestyle, diet and family history. We cannot... -
It is exactly opposite, very easy, however, you need to connect the device to the Wifi.
-
Very good point. Actually, Google home (or Siri), they only suggest/recommend you authenticated website from professional associations. You are very correct if we search we may find misleading information. Therefore, one should pay attention to the source of the information.

Good Question Patricia. I wanted to know what are other purposes you use Internet, other than for seeking health information. Example, if more people play games, then we can build education material in the form of a game, we call it Gamification or Exergame...etc.
-
Thank you Patricia, really i am learning a lot. I planned the survey after reading all your comments. I want to go in dept of this topic.
-
Linda, sorry for misunderstanding, regarding to questions asked.. our aim was to know most common use of Internet, you can reply "never" if you think it is so sensitive for you to reply. In the same way we asked for shopping, online games... they are not directly related with wearable devices, however, it will give us some information like people use online...
-
Shabbir Syed-Abdul made a comment
Humble reminder to all those not yet completed the Questionnaire. It is about the usage and experiences with wearable devices. Learners above 45 years are highly recommended to provide your inputs.
-
Dear Linda, The questionnaire is about your usage experiences with wearable devices and your willingness to use.
-
Dear Mike, Its fine to clarify your concerns. There is not personal information except your age, sex and country. So, please dont worry about it. Also, i will use only and only for research.

Hi Mike
The purpose of this questionnaire is to explore the usage and experiences with wearable devices among elderly. As a educator and researcher I am interested to know how and why the elderly want to use wearable devices, are they willing to pay for devices? Are they willing to pay for the services to maintain their data and send them meaningful prompts... -
Dear Nell, Our intention was to know are people willing to pay, or want to use, only if made it free for use. And the responses are not between several times.. but you strongly agree to pay or strongly disagree.

Shabbir Syed-Abdul replied to Bob P
Thank you Bob.. You are 100% correct.

Dear Marie, This survey is to explore usage and experiences of wearables from elderly people. I wanted to know in real world why and how the wearable devices are getting used.

With the number of users and mass production the cost will get down. I wish and hope we can reach poor as well.

I think of two reasons. 1. Still wearable devices are emerging technology, its long way to go. 2. "Low number" is subjective word, in my literature review we got about 4000 articles, however after applying exclusion criteria we end up with 110 articles. Also i think you will be seeing more articles in near future.
-
Dear Dorcas Frazer, Of course you can measure and be aware of your own activities, However, once you have a device which keep record of your measures, I feel it will help you in a long run. I mean can you keep track of your activities and modify according to your needs. Also our ultimate aim is to keep ourselves active and healthy and not just to use any...

Good example Linda. The aim of the IoT to health is changing behavior, covers devices that help peoples change their habits and adopt healthier life styles, such as weight loss.

I suggest you see your doctor. Statins have many side effects, but only the evaluation tests and a health professional will be able to advise the best way forward.
