Preparing future health professionals for age, cultural, and technology (ACT) Friendly Care in health sciences education
Preparing future health and social-welfare professionals to care foraging population requires an integrated educational approach. Contemporary age-friendly healthcare models emphasize person-centered geriatric care, yet effective implementation also depends on culturally responsive practice and the ethical, appropriate use of health technologies. The ACT (Aging, Culture, and Technology) framework conceptualizes these domains as interdependent com…
Enhancing museum accessibility for blind and low vision visitors through interactive multimodal tangible interfaces
This research explores how Interactive Multimodal Tangible Interface (IMTIs) exploiting advanced technologies such as 3D printing and microcontrollers to enhance museum experiences for blind and low vision (BLV) visitors. It investigates the potential for these technologies to create more inclusive and engaging museum environments. Four IMTIs were developed in collaboration with two blind volunteers, with each IMTI using a different interaction t…
Assessment of Fine Motor Abilities Among Children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treated with Nusinersen Using a New Touchscreen Application
Background/Objectives: Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neurodegenerative disease characterized by severe muscle weakness and atrophy. Advances in disease-modifying therapies have dramatically changed the natural history of SMA and the outcome measures that are used to assess the clinical response to therapy. Standard assessment methods for SMA are limited in their ability to detect minor changes in fine motor abilities and in patients'…
The Resilient Teacher
The present quantitative, non-experimental comparative study, delves into the long-term effects of the collaborative practicum model (specifically the “academy-class” model) on novice teachers. The research aims to discern disparities in the professional self-efficacy of novice educators who underwent training within the collaborative practicum model as opposed to those who adhered to the conventional teaching model. This comparative analysis is …
Teachers under stress during the Covid-19
The COVID-19 presented an unexpected event that had an immediate effect on education systems. Teachers had to make a sudden shift in their practice and adjust to this surprising and uncontrollable event. The present study explored teachers’ reactions to the COVID-19 in terms of their stress response, focusing on the possible differences between Jewish and Arab teachers in Israel due to their cultural background. Nine hundred twenty-nine teachers …
Effect of Age on the Touchscreen Manipulation Ability of Community-Dwelling Adults
Assessment of touchscreen manipulation skills is essential for determining the abilities of older individuals and the extent to which they may benefit from this technology as a means to enhance participation, self-esteem, and quality of life. The aim of this study was to compare the touchscreen manipulation ability between community-dwelling older adults and middle-aged adults using a newly developed Touchscreen Assessment Tool (TATOO) and to det…
Correlation between the Ability to Manipulate a Touchscreen Device and Hand Strength and Manual Dexterity among Community-Living Older Individuals
Information regarding the relationship between the degree of hand function among the elderly as measured by traditional assessments and the ability to manipulate touchscreens is lacking. This study aimed to examine the correlation between the ability to manipulate a touchscreen device, as assessed using the touchscreen assessment tool (TATOO) (University of Haifa, Israel & Universetiy of Bologna, Italy), and hand strength and manual dexterity amo…
