Abstract: Introduction:
The Brazilian National Health System May Reduce Inequalities In Access To Health Services Through Strategies That Can Reach Those Most In Need With no Access To Care Services.

Objective:
To Identify Factors Associated With The Use Of Health Service By Children Aged 5 To 9 Years In The City Of Sobral, Ceará, Northeastern Brazil.

Results:
Only 558 (17.0%) Children Used Health Care Services In The 30 Days Preceding This Survey. Children With Any Health Condition (or = 3.90) Who Were Frequent Attenders Of Primary Care Strategy Of Organization (the Family Health Strategy, Fhs) (or = 1.81) And Living In The City’s Urban Area (or = 1.51) Were More Likely To Use Health Services. Almost 80% Of Children Used Fhs as Their Referral Care Service. Children From Poorer Families And With Easier Access To Services Were More Likely To Be Fhs Users.

Conclusion:
The Study Showed That Access To Health Services Has Been Relatively Equitable Through The Fhs, a Point Of Entry To The Local Health System.

LARIISA is a framework that makes use of context-aware and ontology technologies to support decision making and governance in the public health sector. It is able to perceive the status of epidemiological emergencies and adapt itself in real time to a risk situation. This paper presents the LARIISA’s cloud computing version, LARIISA’s second rendition, whose…

This study is part of the development of a remote home healthcare monitoring application designed to detect distress situations through several types of sensors. The multisensor fusion can provide more accurate and reliable information compared to information provided by each sensor separately. Furthermore, data from multiple heterogeneous sensors present in the remote home healthcare monitoring…

Abstract: Systems based on Information and Communication Technology have been designed to meet needs related to the management of processes involved in home care activities. However, most products on the market today are expensive and there is a great need of low-cost products, accessible to all people in disadvantage (Classes D and E). This paper presents the Diga-Saúde, a low-cost prototype that provides home care services through a main user Digital TV Interactive interface. It takes advantage of the popularity scheduled for the Brazilian Digital TV. The Diga-Saúde has been used on the LARIISA project, a governance decision-making support model for public health systems centered on the family. To connect LARIISA and the Diga-Saúde, we use LISA – LARIISA Integration System – a highly expansible system that aims at facilitating the inclusion and exclusion of context providers, even if they have not originally been conceived for the LARIISA interface.
