A Simple Measure of Catastrophic Health Expenditures

Health Economics
ABSTRACTIn this paper, we propose a simple Watts‐type measure of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) which is an adaptation of the classic Watts poverty measure. The appeal of the proposed measure stems from the fact that it is both additively decomposable (i.e., it provides information on the contributions of the various population subgroups of ...

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Catastrophic health expenditure and health-related quality of life among older adults in Shandong, China: the moderation effect of daily care by adult children

International Journal for Equity in Health
Background Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) has a considerable impact on older people in later life, but little is known about the relationship between catastrophic health expenditure and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The aim of this study

Catastrophic health expenditure incidence and its equity in China: a study on the initial implementation of the medical insurance integration system

BMC Public Health, 2019
Background By 2013, several regions in China had introduced health insurance integration policies. However, few studies addressed the impact of medical insurance integration in China. This study investigates the catastrophic health expenditure and equity

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Use of high-level health facilities and catastrophic expenditure in Vietnam: can health insurance moderate this relationship?

BMC Health Services Research, 2019
Background Overcrowding of high-level health facilities is a major concern in a Vietnamese health system. This may increase an economic burden to the households since health insurance is still insufficient in providing financial risk protection.
