- ItemRebooting resilience: shifts toward dynamic, multi-level, and technology-based approaches for people living with HIV.(0000-00-00) Harrison, Sayward; Li, XiaomingResilience research has often been characterized by a static conceptualization of resilience that focuses on individual level factors that help people living with HIV PLHIV adapt to HIV related challenges and overcome other life adversities Early conceptualizations often depicted resilience as a static stable construct with limited attention paid to the social context and broader systems that may foster or discourage resilient adaptation across time and place This special issue seeks to challenge these conventional views by highlighting innovative HIV resilience research across the globe Far from ignoring socio cultural contexts studies presented in this issue directly address systemic stigma and discrimination against PLHIV as well as sexual and gender minority individuals and identify unique opportunities to promote resilience through building strong villages i e social networks reducing structural inequities and enhancing HIV treatment and care systems In addition papers included in this issue address the promise and challenges of utilizing mobile Heath mHealth technology to build resilience for PLHIV through improving psychosocial and clinical outcomes
- ItemSystem light-loading technology for mHealth: Manifold-learning-based medical data cleansing and clinical trials in WE-CARE Project.(2014-09-06) Huang, Anpeng; Xu, Wenyao; Li, Zhinan; Xie, Linzhen; Sarrafzadeh, Majid; Li, Xiaoming; Cong, JasonCardiovascular disease CVD is a major issue to public health It contributes 41 to the Chinese death rate each year This huge loss encouraged us to develop a Wearable Efficient teleCARdiology systEm WE CARE for early warning and prevention of CVD risks in real time WE CARE is expected to work 24 7 online for mobile health mHealth applications Unfortunately this purpose is often disrupted in system experiments and clinical trials even if related enabling technologies work properly This phenomenon is rooted in the overload issue of complex Electrocardiogram ECG data in terms of system integration In this study our main objective is to get a system light loading technology to enable mHealth with a benchmarked ECG anomaly recognition rate To achieve this objective we propose an approach to purify clinical features from ECG raw data based on manifold learning called the Manifold based ECG feature Purification algorithm Our clinical trials verify that our proposal can detect anomalies with a recognition rate of up to 94 which is highly valuable in daily public health risk alert applications based on clinical criteria Most importantly the experiment results demonstrate that the WE CARE system enabled by our proposal can enhance system reliability by at least two times and reduce false negative rates to 0 76 and extend the battery life by 40 54 in the system integration level
- ItemToward an enhanced understanding of psychological resilience for HIV youth populations.(0000-00-00) Harrison, Sayward; Li, XiaomingThough mother to child HIV transmission has been dramatically reduced in the past decade there are currently an estimated 1 8 million children living with HIV across the globe and over 30 of all new HIV infections occur among youth ages 15 25 While all youth experience developmental challenges children and adolescents who are living with HIV must navigate these challenges within the context of high HIV stigma and must cope with a host of psychosocial and health related challenges In addition because HIV disproportionately impacts individuals from minority statuses e g race ethnicity gender sexuality and people living in poverty vulnerabilities are often compounded Resilience frameworks emphasize the capacity for positive adaptation to adversity and thus provide a useful lens to identify and build upon individual and community strengths This article introduces a special issue of AIDS Care that examines factors associated with resilience among children and adolescents affected by or living with HIV as well as innovative interventions designed to build resilience among HIV youth populations The articles highlighted within this issue examine the possibility of building resilience across diverse settings e g schools communities healthcare clinics and with varied populations e g youth living with HIV AIDS orphans young men who have sex with men We also highlight innovative approaches to resilience building including a new mobile Health mHealth smartphone game that aims to improve adherence among youth living with HIV in the United States
