Lessons from COVID-19: Impact on Healthcare Systems and Technology
uncovers the impact that COVID-19 has made on healthcare and
technology industries. State-of-the-art case studies, empirical
research, and new trends in technology-mediated solution are
discussed to help inform and guide readers in understanding the
effects that the COVID-19 outbreak has had across healthcare and
technology industries. The book discusses challenges to identify
vaccines, changes in legislation on clinical trials and
re-purposing of licensed drugs, effects on primary healthcare, best
practices adopted by different countries to control the pandemic,
and different effects on patients within diverse age groups and
comorbidities. In addition, the book covers technology-mediated
solutions and infrastructures applied, digital transformations,
modeling techniques, statistical projections, and the benefits and
use of cloud computing and artificial intelligence. This is a
valuable resource for healthcare professionals, medical doctors,
researchers and graduate students from both biomedical and
technological fields who are interested in learning more about the
use of new technologies to fight a pandemic.
Start-up creation is the most distinctive feature of the
entrepreneurial knowledge-based economy. It is also essential for
economic growth and especially important in the current context of
young graduate's high unemployment rates that are expected to
increase in the next few decades. There are other books on the
creation of start-up companies, designed to be of value to
academics wishing to exploit the commercial value of a new
technology or business solution, but none of these existing titles
focus on start-up creation in the construction industry. In the
second edition of this extremely successful title the editors
present a state-of-the-art review on advanced technologies, and
their application in several areas of the built environment
covering energy efficiency, structural performance, air and water
quality to inspire the creation of start-up companies from
university research. Part One begins with the key factors behind
successful start-up companies from university research, including
the development of a business plan, start-up financing, and the
importance of intellectual property. Part Two focuses on the use of
Big Data, Intelligent decision support systems, the Internet of
Things and their use in the energy efficiency of the built
environment. Finally, Part three is an entire new section that
focuses on several smartphone applications for the smart built
environment. While in the first edition the section concerning apps
for smart buildings had just two chapters, one for app programming
basics and a second a case study on building security in this
second edition the core of the book is about app development that
constitutes 50% of the book.
