Introduction: Remote monitoring can strengthen postoperative care in the community and minimise the burden of complications. However, implementation requires a clear understanding of how to sustainably integrate such complex interventions into existing care pathways. This study aimed to explore perceptions of potential facilitators and barriers to the implementation of digital remote postoperative monitoring from key stakeholders and derive recommendations for an implementable service. Metho...

The movement of populations between locations and activities can result in complex transmission dynamics, posing significant challenges in controlling infectious diseases like COVID-19. Notably, networks of care homes create an ecosystem where staff and visitor movement acts as a vector for disease transmission, contributing to the heightened risk for their vulnerable communities. Care homes in the UK were disproportionately affected by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, accounting for ...

One primary concern in the field of remote-sensing image processing is the precise classification of hyperspectral images (HSIs). Lately, deep-learning models have demonstrated cutting-edge results in HSI classification. Despite this, researchers continue to study and propose simpler, more robust models. This study presents a novel deep-learning approach, the iterative convolutional neural network (ICNN), which combines spectral–fractal features and classifier probability maps iteratively, ai...

Despite tremendous advancement in computer vision, especially with deep learning, understanding scenes in the wild remains challenging. Even modern image classification models often misclassify when presented with out-of-distribution inputs despite having been trained on tens of millions of images or more. Moreover, training modern deep-learning classifiers requires a lot of energy due to the need to iterate many times over the training set, constantly updating billions of model parameters. O...
