Rehabilitation services are changing towards a Person-Centred Care approach in which physical, psychological and social wellbeing are involved in the relationship between patients and physiotherapists. However, current research has predominantly focused on the provision of solutions for physical wellbeing. Research question: How does Co-creation contribute to the social wellbeing between patients and physiotherapists in order to facilitate recovery pathways? By using a service design methodology and co-creation approach, this research investigated the relationships between patients and physiotherapists with a focus on social wellbeing. Data was collected through developing a co-creative interview toolkit that combined semi-structured interviews and co-creative design tools. The relationship was investigated from a total of eight co-creative interviews: four patients with rehabilitation experience lasting more than a year and four physiotherapists. The researchers compared and synthesized the two perspectives. Results: Concerning the relationship between physiotherapist and patient, we revealed four critical factors evidenced with the insight tree: (1) Lack of communication between patient and physiotherapist when sharing information about the recovery process, (2) Building respect and honesty/meaningful relationship over time, (3) Sharing emotional wellbeing, (4) Setting and reaching goals, were the commonly shared categories in both groups of participants. The four factors allowed the researchers to design the recovery pathway. This was designed to guide the implementation of a new rehabilitation process, in which social wellbeing practices are integrated in new touchpoints interactions among the two actors.@en

As ZigBee networks operate on the license-free 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency band, coexistence issues arise because many other wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Bluetooth, cordless telephones, etc., also use the same frequency band. To mitigate interference, ZigBee specification proposes a feature called frequency agility, which refers to the ability of ZigBee networks to change the operational channel in the presence of interference. However, for a large-scale ZigBee network, changing the whole network operational channel to an idle one, may be neither appropriate if there is only local interference nor possible if there is no any single idle channel available globally. In this paper, we propose a distributed adaptive multi-channel MAC interference-avoidance protocol, which enables a conventional large-scale single-channel ZigBee network to distributedly, adaptively and partially change the operational channel in order to avoid local interference. OPNET simulation results show that the protocol can efficiently and effectively improve the ZigBee network robustness and therefore the coexistence performance.@en
