This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Persuasive Technology, PERSUASIVE 2012, held in Linkoping, Sweden, in June 2012. The 21 full papers presented together with

Design for healthcare is one of the most complex areas of design, involving rigorous clinical testing, high risk and sometimes litigation, health and safety issues for professionals as well as patient

This primer highlights both the strengths and the limitations of benefit-cost analysis in the development, design, and implementation of regulatory reform.

Sustainable Design for Interior Environments builds on the first edition's premise that the interior design profession has a social and moral responsibility to protect the health, safety and welfare o

This book combines the proceedings of Symposium P, The Business of Nanotechnology, and Symposium YY, Compatibility of Nanomaterials , both from the 2009 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston. Papers from Symposium P highlight the constructive disruption caused by the introduction of innovative and value-generating products based on nanotechnology, and underscore the intersections of scientific research and business considerations in the nanotechnology space. The section begins with papers on commercialization challenges in nanotechnology, and specific technologies are also discussed. The final papers in this section include applications of nanosensors for neonatal care, new oxygen sensors and nanocatalysts. Papers from Symposium YY focus on the impact on nanomaterials on health and safety topics that are also critical in the commercialization of nanotechnologies. Presentations bridge the gap between fundamental material science in nanomaterial design, fabrication,and characterization, and cover

The new edition of this book addresses the many changes in laboratory design since the previous edition was published in 2001. It focuses on advances in environmental design and green laboratories whi

Body area networks (BANs) are networks of wireless sensors and medical devices embedded in clothing, worn on or implanted in the body, and have the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling pervasive healthcare. However, due to their critical applications affecting human health, challenges arise when designing them to ensure they are safe for the user, sustainable without requiring frequent battery replacements and secure from interference and malicious attacks. This book lays the foundations of how BANs can be redesigned from a cyber-physical systems perspective (CPS) to overcome these issues. Introducing cutting-edge theoretical and practical techniques and taking into account the unique environment-coupled characteristics of BANs, the book examines how we can re-imagine the design of safe, secure and sustainable BANs. It features real-world case studies, suggestions for further investigation and project ideas, making it invaluable for anyone involved in pervasive and mobile

This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the analysis and design of health management systems for cooperating unmanned aerial vehicles. Such systems rely upon monitoring and f

This is a practical book for health and IT professionals who need to ensure that patient safety is prioritized in the design and implementation of clinical information technology. Healthcare professio

This book addresses the issues and methods involved in governing risks posed by genetically modified (GM) agriculture. It examines the evolution of policies intended to ensure the safety of GM crops and food products in the United States and Europe and the regulatory approaches and other social controls employed to protect human health, the environment, conventional farming and foods, and the interests and rights of consumers. Discussion encompasses the cultural, political and economic forces that shape the design and application of the methods of risk governance, as well as other contextual features such as the influence of multinational companies seeking acceptance of their GM ventures. This discussion also examines the influence of the dynamic public discourse fostered by progressive concepts of risk governance and the approaches taken to meet its demands for transparency, public participation and appropriate consideration of public perceptions and values despite conflicting views o

This accessible yet in-depth textbook describes the step-by-step processes involved in biomedical device design. Integrating microfabrication techniques, sensors and digital signal processing with key clinical applications, it covers: the measurement, amplification and digitization of physiological signals, and the removal of interfering signals; the transmission of signals from implanted sensors through the body, and the issues surrounding the powering of these sensors; networks for transferring sensitive patient data to hospitals for continuous home-monitoring systems; tests for ensuring patient safety; the cost-benefit and technological trade-offs involved in device design; and current challenges in biomedical device design. With dedicated chapters on electrocardiography, digital hearing aids and mobile health, and including numerous end-of-chapter homework problems, online solutions and additional references for extended learning, it is the ideal resource for senior undergraduate s
