This dissertation endeavors to track down the phenomenon of self-deception by revealing its inherent traits and querying its various manifestations. An exploration of the current, analytic debate on self-deception sheds light on how the epistemological restrictions, the unsteady analogies and illegitimate assumptions stand in the way of the intelligibility of the phenomenon. The search for a more adequate approach that would do justice to ...
Wearable ECG medical device for self-detection of an acute coronary artery occlusion Ghent University
The RELF system is a small, portable 3-lead ECG monitor. The system is linked to a software application that tests the ECG signals against a person's own normal values and, if necessary, alerts the person in question in the event of an acute coronary artery blockage. The aim of this project is to set up a multi-center clinical study that: (1) validates the R-ELF method in outpatient home situations as well as during planned acute coronary ...
Handheld wireless device for self-detection of an acute coronary artery occlusion Ghent University
During an acute coronary artery occlusion a part of the heart muscle is deprived of blood causing chest pain or acute chest discomfort and a progressive loss of viability of the affected muscle over the next six hours. The short and long‐term prognosis is largely determined by the time delay between the onset of symptoms and the seeking of medical help. In patients with continuing chest pain of discomfort the decision process to seek medical ...
