Abstract

Background: The number of deaths from noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) has increased worldwide. These deaths would be partly avoidable if prevention and follow-up measures were applied to reduce risk factors. Computing can help educate individuals, improving their knowledge about NCDs. This article presents a systematic mapping of studies that apply computing to education on NCDs. The results allow a general view of the literature and the identification of research opportunities. Materials and Methods: The methodology followed three steps: (1) definition of search databases from computer science and health sciences, (2) selection of keywords for search string composition, and (3) application of inclusion and exclusion criteria to filter the results. The survey occurred from January 2008 to April 2018. Results: The initial search resulted in 19,675 papers, of which 38 were selected after applying the filter criteria. The use of mobile computing stood out in 25 papers. The education modalities were self-management and educational content for diabetes (10 papers), asthma (1), cardiovascular disease (1) and chronic diseases (1), self-management of diabetes and games (1), educational content (15), games (6), personalized cont...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Cardiovascular Disorder in Diabetes

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disorders and heart failure. Discover the latest research here.
