Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the future we will rely on applications built on top of the Internet of Things (IoT). Example applications are smart cities, smart grids and smart healthcare. These IoT applications require a reliable service with predictable quality, and that sensor data and actuator commands are delivered reliably and timely. Unfortunately, IoT performance is highly affected by environmental conditions, especially by ambient temperature. It is therefore necessary to configure an IoT system such that sufficient application performance is provided under all environmental conditions that may be encountered. In this demonstration, we show how ambient temperature affects the performance of an IoT application. Specifically, we connect remotely to a large-scale temperature-controlled testbed and show how temperature affects the operation of a state-of-the- art routing protocol. Using a local setup, we further demonstrate how the impact of temperature on communication links can be easily captured and modelled in order to inform the design of communication protocols robust to high temperature fluctuations.

- Objective: The global impact of osteoarthritis is growing. Currently no disease modifying osteoarthritis drugs/therapies exist, increasing the need for preventative strategies. Knee injuries have a high prevalence, distinct onset, and strong independent association with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Numerous groups are embarking upon research that will culminate in clinical trials to assess the effect of interventions to prevent knee PTOA despite challenges and lack of consensus about trial design in this population. Our objectives were to improve awareness of knee PTOA prevention trial design and discuss state-of-the art methods to address the unique opportunities and challenges of these studies. Design: An international interdisciplinary group developed a workshop, hosted at the 2023 Osteoarthritis Research Society International Congress. Here we summarize the workshop content and outputs, with the goal of moving the field of PTOA prevention trial design forward. Results: Workshop highlights included discussions about target population (considering risk, homogeneity, and possibility of modifying osteoarthritis outcome); target treatment (considering delivery, timing, feasibility and effectiveness); comparators (usual care, placebo), and primary symptomatic outcomes considering surrogates and the importance of knee function and symptoms other than pain to this population. Conclusions: Opportunities to test multimodal PTOA prevention interventions across preclinical models and clinical trials exist. As improving symptomatic outcomes aligns with patient and regulator priorities, co-primary symptomatic (single or aggregate/multidimensional outcome considering function and symptoms beyond pain) and structural/physiological outcomes may be appropriate for these trials. To ensure PTOA prevention trials are relevant and acceptable to all stakeholders, future research should address critical knowledge gaps and challenges.
