Clinicians in all specialties will often encounter patients who have made self-directed searches for medical information prior to the clinical encounter.Teleneurology by Internet and Telephone is a study of patient information-seeking behaviour in neurology patients prior to referral from primary to secondary care.

This work offers insights into ways to integrate new technologies into the field of design, and from a broader standpoint it also looks ahead, raising further questions and looking to the near future as to what additional technologies might cause further disruptions to 3D design as well as wonderful creative opportunities.

Pervasive Healthcare

This book presents a clear path from calculus to classical potential theory and beyond, with the aim of moving the reader into the area of mathematical research as quickly as possible.

Data-driven Design of Fault Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control Systems presents basic statistical process monitoring, fault diagnosis, and control methods and introduces advanced data-driven schemes for the design of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control systems catering to the needs of dynamic industrial processes.

Data mining essentially relies on several mathematical disciplines, many of which are presented in this second edition of this book. To motivate the reader a significant number of applications of these mathematical tools are included ranging from association rules, clustering algorithms, classification, data constraints, logical data analysis, etc.

The 2nd edition of this popular and authoritative reference covers the latest technological developments and potential clinical applications of sensing and monitoring using wireless, wearable and implantable devices for vivo monitoring and intervention.
