20.500.12556/DKUM-66504 An innovative approach to near-infrared spectroscopy using a standard mobile device and its clinical application in the real-time visualization of peripheral veins Background: Excessive venipunctures are a significant problem both in emergency rooms and during hospital stays. Near-infrared (NIR) illumination devices improve venipuncture success rate but their usage is limited by their availability and economic cost. The objectives of this study were to develop a low-cost NIR spectroscopy prototype from a standard mobile device, to evaluate its efficacy and acceptance as an educational tool, and in a clinical setting. Methods: Through a user-centric design process a prototype device was developed. Its educational efficacy was evaluated through a non-invasive, observational study (20 student clinicians, 25 subjects) and its acceptance was assessed using quantitative and qualitative analysis. A smaller clinical trial was performed by a group of 4 medical professionals over a period of 6 weeks that involved 64 patients. Results: The prototype enables real-time visualization of peripheral veins on a variety of Android-based devices. The prototype was 35.2% more successful in visualizing and locating veins (n = 500 attempts) than the nursing students. The acceptance assessment revealed high perception of usefulness, satisfaction, and ease of use. In the clinical trial, 1.6 (SD 1.3) additional veins per patient were identified compared with the traditional visualization methods. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge this is the first study that describes the design, feasibility and application of an NIR spectroscopy prototype developed on a standard mobile device. mobile applications spectroscopy near-infrared NIRS vascular access devices health education feasibility mobilne aplikacije bližnja infrardeča spektroskopija NIRS pripomočki za žilni pristop zdravstveno izobraževanje izvedljivost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2017-06-29 08:22:47 2017-06-29 08:25:15 2022-07-11 03:07:21 2019-07-11 15:49:43 2014 0 0 str. 1-8 Letn. 14 2014 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1472-6947 61:004.9 2440980 18383126 10.1186/s12911-014-0100-z 1472-6947 URN:SI:UM:DK:UQSLHVIE BMC_Medical_Informatics_and_Decision_Making_2014_Juric,_Zalik_An_innovative_approach_to_near-infrared_spectroscopy_using_a_standard_mobi.pdf BMC_Medical_Informatics_and_Decision_Making_2014_Juric,_Zalik_An_innovative_approach_to_near-infrared_spectroscopy_using_a_standard_mobi.pdf 1 8C566CBF87FF83F19E63C0667ADDFCCC 570aefc9c77e157a0cbaa4c3cfd7a24d7d58414e9eb3edfb345e5bb1ab3d7eab 517f0340-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=113305 http://bmcmedinformdecismak.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12911-014-0100-z 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=113304 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
