The kinocardiograph for assessment of fluid status in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. [PDF]
Abstract Aims To improve telemonitoring strategies in heart failure patients, there is a need for novel non‐obtrusive sensors that monitor parameters closely related to intracardiac filling pressures. This proof‐of‐concept study aims to evaluate the responsiveness of cardiac kinetic energy (KE) measured with the Kinocardiograph (KCG), consisting of a ...

Disrupted Sleep at Night is Associated with a Higher Level of Agitation Throughout the Week in People Living with Cognitive Decline [PDF]
Abstract Background Agitation is one of the most challenging behaviors exhibited by people with cognitive decline, causing distress in caregivers, earlier placement into long‐term care and faster disease progression. In order to better manage agitated behaviors in people with cognitive decline, it is important to identify associated factors.
