Teledentistry, Mishael Almukhalafi, Sharon C. Stull

College of Health Sciences Posters

Problem Statement: Healthy People 2030 strategic goals and objectives are focused on increasing health access and quality of care yet, millions of individuals still experience shortages of available oral health care services, limited oral health care providers, and living in rural areas, geographically distant from oral health care centers, all compounded by a current global pandemic.

Purpose: Investigate literature related to the role of teledentistry during a global pandemic and its associated benefits, effectiveness, and barriers on patient oral healthcare access and quality of care outcomes and to identify oral healthcare providers' knowledge, attitude, and perceptions on the utilization of …

There's An App For That: Promoting Health App Use In Rural Ireland, Noor Yahya, Marcus Simon

Undergraduate Research Symposium

Problem Statement: Smartphones and mobile applications (commonly referred to as apps) were first introduced in the late 20th century and early 21st century. Due to the public’s time constraints, lack of transportation, lack of medical insurance, and a growing desire for healthier lifestyles, the total global mHealth market forecast to reach 100 billion dollars in 2021 – a fivefold increase from 21 billion in 2016. mHealth apps have been successfully used for health promotion activities but barriers such as lack of knowledge and comfort in using health apps exist.

Purpose: Evaluate readiness of a rural community and the …

OBJECTIVE: Digital monitoring technologies (e.g., smart-phones and wearable devices) provide unprecedented opportunities to study potentially harmful behaviors such as suicide, violence, and alcohol/substance use in real-time. The use of these new technologies has the potential to significantly advance the understanding, prediction, and prevention of these behaviors. However, such technologies also introduce myriad ethical and safety concerns, such as deciding when and how to intervene if a participant's responses indicate elevated risk during the study?

METHODS: We used a modified Delphi process to develop a consensus among a diverse panel of experts on the ethical and safety practices for conducting digital …

Detection and analysis of volatile organic compounds’ (VOCs) biomarkers lead to improvement in healthcare diagnosis and other applications such as chemical threat detection and food quality control. Here, we report on tri-molybdenum phosphide (Mo₃P) and multi- walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) junction-based vapor quantum resistive sensors (vQRSs), which exhibit more than one order of magni- tude higher sensitivity and superior selectivity for biomarkers in comparison to pristine MWCNT junctions based vQRSs. Transmission electron microscope/scanning tunneling electron microscope with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray photo- electron spectroscopy studies reveal the crystallinity and the presence of Mo and …
