We consider identification of early warning signs (EWS) in projects. Project professionals are not good at detecting or acting on EWS. Barriers that lead to this are identified. The nature of EWS and their detection change with the evolving situation... Read More about Identifying and acting on early warning signs in complex projects.

Spouse caregivers of people with dementia (PwD) report relatively poor marital relationship quality (RQ), but few studies have obtained the perspective of the PwD, examined discrepancies between spouses, or considered changes in RQ over time. This st... Read More about Marital relationship quality in early-stage dementia: Perspectives from people with dementia and their spouses.

Longitudinal trajectories of awareness in early-stage dementia (2012)

Although it is often assumed that awareness decreases as dementia severity increases, there is limited evidence regarding changes in awareness over time. We examined awareness in 101 individuals with early-stage dementia (PwD) and their carers; 66 we... Read More about Longitudinal trajectories of awareness in early-stage dementia.

Comparative time series analysis of perceptual responses to electroacoustic music (2012)

Alert rules for remote monitoring of cardiovascular patients (2012)
Journal Article
Bohacik, J., & Davis, D. (2012). Alert rules for remote monitoring of cardiovascular patients. Journal of information technologies, 5(1), 16 - 23

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in most European countries and its prevention requires major life-style changes using limited health-care resources. Remote cardiovascular decision support seems to allow cardiovascular patients to... Read More about Alert rules for remote monitoring of cardiovascular patients.
