    Peer-Support in Oncology: A Qualitative Study of Caregivers Perception in a Cancer Center

    Pair-aidance en Oncologie : Etude Qualitative de la Perception des Soignants dans un Centre de Lutte Contre le Cancer

    Guilhem Paillard-Brunet*, Audrey Couillet

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 23-31, 2024, DOI:10.32604/po.2023.047888

    Abstract This study aimed to gather healthcare professionals’ expectations and reluctance toward peer support in a cancer center. Semistructured interviews were conducted among 12 professionals, recruited in different professions. The interviews were fully transcribed, and a thematic analysis was then conducted. Of the data analysis, three main themes about professionals’ expectations emerged: the need for the strongest support of the patients, to break the isolation in the sickness, and to enhance the care system. Three main themes also emerged from the data analysis about professionals’ reluctances: the limitations related to the intervention of the peer-workers, the psychological issues of the relationship,… More >

    Deep Learning Approach for Hand Gesture Recognition: Applications in Deaf Communication and Healthcare

    Khursheed Aurangzeb1, Khalid Javeed2, Musaed Alhussein1, Imad Rida3, Syed Irtaza Haider1, Anubha Parashar4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 127-144, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042886

    Abstract Hand gestures have been used as a significant mode of communication since the advent of human civilization. By facilitating human-computer interaction (HCI), hand gesture recognition (HGRoc) technology is crucial for seamless and error-free HCI. HGRoc technology is pivotal in healthcare and communication for the deaf community. Despite significant advancements in computer vision-based gesture recognition for language understanding, two considerable challenges persist in this field: (a) limited and common gestures are considered, (b) processing multiple channels of information across a network takes huge computational time during discriminative feature extraction. Therefore, a novel hand vision-based convolutional neural network (CNN) model named (HVCNNM)… More >
