In the pandemic time, the monitoring of the progression of some diseases is affected and rehabilitation is more complicated. Remote monitoring may help solve this problem using mobile devices that embed low-cost sensors, which can help measure different physical parameters. Many tests can be applied remotely, one of which is the six-minute walk test (6MWT). The 6MWT is a sub-maximal exercise test that assesses aerobic capacity and endurance, allowing early detection of emerging medical conditions with changes. This paper presents a systematic review of the use of sensors to measure the different physical parameters during the performance of 6MWT, focusing on various diseases, sensors, and implemented methodologies. It was performed with the PRISMA methodology, where the search was conducted in different databases, including IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect, and PubMed Central. After filtering the papers related to 6MWT and sensors, we selected 31 papers that were analyzed in more detail. Our analysis discovered that the measurements of 6MWT are primarily performed with inertial and magnetic sensors. Likewise, most research studies related to this test focus on multiple sclerosis and pulmonary diseases.

This study consists of a systematic literature review that aims to explore the potential of integrating wearable sensor data and machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting stress episodes. It aims to identify prevalent sensors, key physiological features, and the effectiveness of ML methods in real-world stress monitoring and prediction. This systematic review follows the PRISMA methodology, analyzing literature from January 2010 to June 2025. Data sources included IEEE Xplore, Elsevier, Springer, Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), and paper repositories such as PubMed Central and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). The inclusion criteria encompassed studies that employed wearable devices for ML stress prediction, focusing on physiological data such as heart rate variability (HRV), skin conductance, and sleep patterns. Articles were screened for originality, clinical relevance, and methodological rigor. Key findings highlighted the use of diverse wearable sensors, including electrodermal activity (EDA), photoplethysmography (PPG), and accelerometers. Commonly extracted features included HRV metrics, skin conductance levels, and respiratory patterns. ML models, such as Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and deep neural networks (DNN), have demonstrated high predictive accuracy (e.g., up to 99%). Despite promising results, challenges such as small sample sizes, variability in data quality, and the need for standardized protocols were noted. Wearable sensors combined with ML algorithms provide scalable, real-time stress monitoring solutions, emphasizing proactive healthcare management. However, advancing this field requires addressing limitations through interdisciplinary collaboration and focusing on the accessibility and usability of technologies. This study highlights the transformative role of wearable technologies in predicting stress, with implications for personalized health interventions, mental health support, and enhanced healthcare efficiency.

Bedridden patients usually stay in bed for long periods, presenting several problems caused by immobility, leading to a long recovery process. Thus, identifying physical rehabilitation programs for bedridden patients with prolonged immobility requires urgent research. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to map existing physical rehabilitation programs for bedridden patients with prolonged immobility, the rehabilitation domains, the devices used, the parameters accessed, and the context in which these programs were performed. This scoping review, guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) methodology and conducted in different databases (including grey literature), identified 475 articles, of which 27 were included in this review. The observed contexts included research institutes, hospitals, rehabilitation units, nursing homes, long-term units, and palliative care units. Most of the programs were directed to the musculoskeletal domain, predominantly toward the lower limbs. The devices used included lower limb mobilization, electrical stimulation, inclined planes, and cycle ergometers. Most of the evaluated parameters were musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, or vital signs. The variability of the programs, domains, devices and parameters found in this scoping review revealed no uniformity, a consequence of the personalization and individualization of care, which makes the development of a standard intervention program challenging.

The aging population is increasing worldwide, but the abuse and mistreatment in the elderly (often silenced forms) has also been increasing, with strong implications for their quality of life. To identify forms of abuse and ill-treatment in the elderly, as well as the determinants of these abuses. This is a quantitative study, of the non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional type attended by 135 Portuguese elderly. It uses the Family APGAR Scale and the Question to Elicit Elder Abuse (QEEA), which was applied between January and June 2013, in the elderly residing in the central of Portugal. The data shows that 23.5% of the elderly have suffered some kind of abuse, these being especially of the emotional kind and neglect. We also found that the most abused elders were unmarried and widows, those who had lower academic qualifications, those who reported feeling lonely and less healthy and even those who perceive to integrate families with some degree of dysfunction. We found that the abuse and mistreatment are present in the everyday life of many seniors and are a difficult subject to approach. The evidence, invite us to reflect on the development of intervention strategies, particularly at the levels of emotional abuse, neglect, promotion of health and family functioning in order to contribute to the reduction or extinction of abuse and ill-treatment in the elderly.
