The main objective of the Contingency Management Tool (CMT) is to support the decision-making process when critical/disaster events occur. The CMT model uses a hybrid approach of operational conditions (top/down) and technological conditions (bottom/up). The CMT contemplates both severity level and possibility of occurrence of events and suggests repair priorities for the assets (equipments). The mathematical approach of CMT is formalized with fuzzy (and crisp) relations and by using a multi-criteria inference mechanism, which provides a flexible but consistent way to handle the type of problem addressed.

Association of quality of life with performance status, circadian rhythm, and activity level of lung cancer patients using wearable devices as ambulatory monitoring

Results from QoL questionnaires showed that pain, dyspnoea and insomnia were the most common symptoms reported by lung cancer patients. Sixty-three per cent of patients reported mobility issues and 53% suffered from anxiety and depression. These results match the objective monitoring obtained from the wearable device, which showed sleeping disorders in 68% and lack of physical activity in 54% of patients, compared with healthy population parameters. Preliminary results suggest that wearable devices and QoL questionnaires are useful in detecting sleep disorders, inactivity and other factors that could influence the QoL during and after lung cancer treatment. Conclusion Design and validation of the effect of multidisciplinary interventions based on clinical and real-world data from the patients will ensure a personalised follow-up with a better assessment of their needs and eventually improve their quality of life, wellbeing and outcome.
