Article Abstract
As technology advanced, new e-health solutions are evolved to empower people to manage their care at home. This study explored the needs for disease management in activity tracking using photo diary through older adults' subjective perspective. It further aimed to suggest which lifestyle measures, symptoms and behaviours would be meaningful to include in such a digital diseases care management program for technology design. Both photo diary and focus group discussion were used, 11 older adults with multiple metabolism-related chronic diseases (Mean age, 72.5 ± 6.14 years) were recruited and asked to carry out the photo diary to trace their living situation and needs using a tablet camera. A focus group discussion was applied to identify the needs of chronic disease management, based on the results of living context tracing. Five themes, regular physical activity, smart management of healthy behaviors, healthy diet, regular daily routine and social connection, were identified by content analysis from photo diary and the focus group discussion. The results indicated that the photo diary program can raise awareness and promotes positive behavior changes. It is believed that the E-approach can be applied to the effectively enhance older adults' self-management by monitoring their health status and their daily routine activities.

Cartographic infrastructures: Geographical pathology, tumour safaris, and colonial networks in British East Africa.

In this article, we explore infrastructures-human, epistemic, and material-that enable the creation of maps and the stories they tell about the world. We develop the concept of 'cartographic infrastructures' to reveal the hidden and fragile political, scientific, and social worlds that undergird the production of maps and the truths they bring into being. To illustrate this, we examine a series of highly influential maps published in the early 1960s by Denis Burkitt-a colonial doctor working in British East Africa-showing the geographical distribution of a pediatric tumour in Africa.

Background: Photo-based nutrition diaries might be useful to assess dietary intake without much effort and maybe even without nutrition expertise. This proof-of-concept study aimed to investigate the principle of 'the wisdom of crowds' by examining how accurately both nutrition experts and non-experts can rate nutritional values of meals presented in digital pictures.
Methods: An online survey was conducted among adults in Germany from 2016 to 2017.
"I spend more time on the ecosystem than on the disease": caring for the communicative loop with everyday ADM technology through maintenance and modification work.

Automated decision-making (ADM) systems can be worn in and on the body for various purposes, such as for tracking and managing chronic conditions. One case in point is do-it-yourself open-source artificial pancreas systems, through which users engage in what is referred to as "looping"; combining continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps placed on the body with digital communication technologies to develop an ADM system for personal diabetes management. The idea behind these personalized systems is to delegate decision-making regarding insulin to an algorithm that can make autonomous decisions.

Background And Aim: Dental caries is the most common childhood disease worldwide, including the Netherlands. Children from low socioeconomic backgrounds and migrant communities are at high risk. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of schoolchildren (9-13 years), from a low socioeconomic neighbourhood in The Hague with a high immigrant population, on oral health, oral health behaviours, oral health professionals and dental care, as well as the root causes and the outcomes of oral health problems.

Background: Malnutrition is a challenge among older adults and can result in serious health consequences. However, the dietary intake monitoring needed to identify malnutrition for early intervention is affected by issues such as difficulty remembering or needing a dietitian to interpret the results.
Objective: This study aims to co-design a tool using automated food classification to monitor dietary intake and food preferences, as well as food-related symptoms and mood and hunger ratings, for use in care homes.
