Advances in telemedicine technologies have offered clinicians
greater levels of real-time guidance and technical assistance for
diagnoses, monitoring, operations or interventions from colleagues
based in remote locations. The topic includes the use of
videoconferencing, mentorship during surgical procedures, or
machine-to-machine communication to process data from one location
by programmes running in another. This edited book presents a
variety of technologies with applications in telemedicine,
originating from the fields of biomedical sensors, wireless sensor
networking, computer-aided diagnosis methods, signal and image
processing and analysis, automation and control, virtual and
augmented reality, multivariate analysis, and data acquisition
devices. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), surgical robots,
telemonitoring, and teleoperation systems are also explored, as
well as the associated security and privacy concerns in this field.
Topics covered include critical factors in the development,
implementation and evaluation of telemedicine; surgical
tele-mentoring; technologies in medical information processing;
recent advances of signal/image processing techniques in
healthcare; a real-time ECG processing platform for telemedicine
applications; data mining in telemedicine; social work and
tele-mental health services for rural and remote communities;
applying telemedicine to social work practice and education;
advanced telemedicine systems for remote healthcare monitoring; the
impact of tone-mapping operators and viewing devices on visual
quality of experience of colour and grey-scale HDR images;
modelling the relationships between changes in EEG features and
subjective quality of HDR images; IoMT and healthcare delivery in
chronic diseases; and transform domain robust watermarking method
using Riesz wavelet transform for medical data security and
privacy.
Becoming a student again can be a daunting prospect, particularly
if it has been a while. Written specifically for health care
professionals undertaking continuing professional development and
for those starting a health care degree, this book covers the key
skills that underpin effective study, including time management,
writing drafts and seeking feedback. With three student case
studies based in health care settings to illustrate examples, the
book shows how experience can aid learning and how learning can be
used to improve practice in the workplace. The book covers the
vital issues that students will face including chapters on:
preparing to study - which includes help on choosing a course,
negotiating your study needs with family and friends, developing a
study time table and organising your place of study study
management and learning - how we can choose the ways in which we
learn using different strategies and resources depending on what we
want to achieve study skills - focussing on the key elements of
studying: writing assignments; preparing for exams; learning
online; working online and working in groups. The book discusses
how to undertake successful university study. Studying for
Continuing Professional Development in Health is a highly practical
text, which will be an invaluable resource for health professionals
entering higher education for the first time or returning after a
long break.
There are a number of global challenges and opportunities faced by
HE managers and key decision-makers - factors such as quality
assurance, the changing profiles of academic and student
populations, international competition and the opportunities
afforded by flexible learning. In order to take full advantage of
the changing climate of higher education, institutions need to be
positioned and organized effectively. In this book, an
international collection of leading contributors consider the above
factors and provide accounts of how educational development can
prove central to university policy and strategic planning, covering
areas such as teaching development, teaching quality, integrating
online learning, complying with inclusion policy and
professionalism. This will be essential reading for established
staff developers and HE decision-makers such as Vice-Chancellors
and Heads of Department.

Typically New Generation Learning Spaces (NGLS) across the
international higher education sector are being designed to support
a more student-centred approach to teaching, through more active
and collaborative learning opportunities, often using new
technology (Keppell et al. 2012). However, the promise of NGLS
appear to remain unfulfilled. This book takes a futuristic
perspective on these unfulfilled promises, bringing to the fore the
key elements of learning, teaching, professional development and
design. The book addresses the compelling questions of the decade
in an effort to help senior university managers think beyond the
pedagogies of yesterday in order to maximize the use and design of
physical learning spaces for the future. The book is written in
four sections: 1) The future of learning spaces in Universities; 2)
The future for learning and teaching in NGLS; 3) The future of
professional development for teaching in NGLS; and 4) The future
for design in learning environments and spaces.
