      Woldaregay, Ashenafi Zebene; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Walderhaug, Ståle (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016)
      Folk som jobber i maritime miljø har ikke enkel tilgang til sentrale helsetjenester, og det gjelder spesielt for sjøfolk som arbeider i arktiske områder. Selv om telemedisin har vært en suksess på land, har telemedisin kun i begrenset grad blitt tatt i bruk til havs. Dette skyldes blant annet fravær av gode kommunikasjonsløsninger, dårlige værforhold, store avstander og lange perioder utenfor ...
    • Electronic disease surveillance system based on inputs from people with diabetes: an early outbreak detection mechanism. 

      Woldaregay, Ashenafi Zebene (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-18)
      Objective: Generally, the purpose of this thesis project is to develop an effective electronic disease surveillance system, which is capable of detecting a cluster of people with elevated blood glucose (BG) levels within a specific region and timeframe by analyzing diabetes data. Specifically, we mainly focus on developing an early outbreak detection algorithm that can analyze BG data and detect ...

      <i>Background</i>: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hematological genetic disease affecting over 25 million people worldwide. The main clinical manifestations of SCD, hemolytic anemia and vaso-occlusion, lead to chronic pain and organ damages. With recent advances in childhood care, high-income countries have seen SCD drift from a disease of early childhood mortality to a neglected chronic disease of ...
    • Using Fitness Trackers and Smartwatches to Measure Physical Activity in Research: Analysis of Consumer Wrist-Worn Wearables 

      Henriksen, André; Mikalsen, Martin Haugen; Woldaregay, Ashenafi Zebene; Muzny, Miroslav; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Grimsgaard, Sameline (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-22)
      Background: New fitness trackers and smartwatches are released to the consumer market every year. These devices are equipped with different sensors, algorithms, and accompanying mobile apps. With recent advances in mobile sensor technology, privately collected physical activity data can be used as an addition to existing methods for health data collection in research. Furthermore, data collected ...
