Hypertension (31%) was found to be the most common family history. Results: The average age of study participants was 37 (SD =8) years, 88% were males, and 42% had graduate education. Information was gathered related to individuals’ interest in receiving SMS based health messages. Additional information gathered at 1 month follow up included modifications that individuals made in their self-management of diabetes and hypertension, diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
Smaart 7 student series#
Objective data assessments included measurements such as weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels using a series of physiological sensors. Subjective data was collected and self-reported information was gathered about (I) socio-demographics, (II) health behaviors, (III) clinical status, and (IV) Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP). Individuals’ health data was recorded using an interactive, bi-lingual, touch screen, computer-based program. The Swasthya Pahal pilot program was approved by the Uttarakhand State Police authorities. Methods: A convenient sample of 64 individuals aged 18 years and above present at the Police Sanchar Training Centre, Dehradun, Uttarakhand were enrolled over 2 days in January 2020. The aim of the study is to examine the usefulness of Swasthya Pahal, a community-based Health for all program, aimed to enhance screening and self-management of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity among police personnel. People living with various health conditions get access to a wide range of healthcare services through digital interventions. The rig is over at our practice space I'll have a chance to dig in again tonight.Background: Empirical research acknowledges the capability of mHealth and eHealth interventions for ensuring high-quality and tailored healthcare to individuals. I'm sure in the time/money balance, it would end up being far more costly than just buying Smaart, but it could be an interesting project. I'm trying to talk myself out of the notion of attempting to 'roll-my-own' dual FFT in Matlab - it's supposedly capable of real-time analysis, though I haven't explored that capability yet. I took Bob McCarthy's SIM class a few years ago, and have some of experience driving SIM3, though mostly in a controlled 'lab'-like environment. While I've certainly still got a lot to learn, dual-channel FFT measurements aren't completely new to me.
Since we generally mix ourselves from stage, and setup is often space- and time-constrained, I don't expect to do much in-situ at present. I'd simply like to measure our system's response in controlled conditions and create an EQ preset in the mixer based on something more precise than my ears. I wouldn't say there's a particular 'problem' I'm trying to solve. Thanks Frank I'll look into ARTA as well. The documentation is a labor of love and a great learning tool, too, IMO. If your goal is to learn your way around discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based measurements, ARTA is an excellent, low cost start. You explicitly set the window on the impulse response before calculating the frequency response, for example, so you know exactly what you're getting. I see ARTA as more of a precision lab tool. Because of the "live" transfer function display, Smaart is great for experimenting and getting a feel for the effect of changes in the measurement environment.
Smaart 7 student portable#
No doubt Smaart is easier to use in a portable live sound setting where you're trying to verify system health and time align subs under time pressure. I use them both and the results compare well.
Smaart 7 student license#
A personal use license is only ~$120.ĪRTA is not equivalent to Smaart but is a very nice set of tools and allows you to make many of the same kinds of measurements. As Bennett said, it would be useful to know what problem you're trying to solve, but you may want to have a look at ARTA in any case.
