The effectiveness of digital technology-based Otago Exercise Program on balance ability, muscle strength and fall efficacy in the elderly: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zihao He, Hua Wu, Guanggao Zhao, Yiming Zhang, Chao Li, Yachen Xing, Anjie Xu, Junchao Yang, Ronghui Wang

“…Digital technologies used in the studies were categorized into three types: (1) online interventions (Zoom, WeChat), (2) recorded videos (via computers, TVs, DVDs), and (3) wearable technologies (motion sensors, augmented reality systems). The implementation of OEP based on digital technology showed significantly improved on static balance (SMD = 0.86, 95% CI 0.35–1.37), dynamic balance (SMD = 1.07, 95% CI 0.90–1.24), muscular strength (SMD = 0.43, 95% CI 0.17–0.69), and fall efficacy (SMD=-0.70, 95% CI -0.98, -0.41); Subgroup analysis by period ‘≥12 weeks’, frequency ‘≥3 times/week’, and duration ‘≤45 minutes per session’, respectively, showed significant improvements on static balance (SMD = 0.73, 95% CI 0.21–1.25; SMD = 0.86, 95% CI 0.35–1.37; SMD = 1.10, 95% CI 0.31–1.89), dynamic balance (SMD = 1.08, 95% CI 0.88–1.28; SMD = 1.01, 95% CI 0.93–1.27; SMD = 1.07, 95% CI 0.89–1.25), muscle strength (SMD = 0.43, 95% CI 0.10–0.75; SMD = 0.54, 95% CI 0.30–0.77; SMD = 0.53, 95% CI 0.19–0.87), and fall efficacy (SMD=-0.75, 95% CI -1.39, -0.11; SMD=-0.70, 95% CI -0.98, -0.41; SMD=-0.74, 95% CI -1.10, -0.39). …”

Design and research of service customized networking architecture by Tao HUANG, Chen ZHANG, Yuming XIAO, Shui YU, Yunjie LIU

“…A new network architecture of SCN (service customized networking) was systematically expounded, which provided a novel network underlying capability and usage method for Internet applications.TCP/IP network architecture served the application with “best effort” quality of service, while SCN converted the subject-object relationship between the application and network that allowed the application to “on-demand customize” the QoS of networks.From the perspective of applications, three major connotations “declarable”, “fine-grained” and “end-to-end” were excavated to deduce the overall design of SCN, where a concrete SCN architecture and a feasible SCN system realization were present.In future, SCN can be applied in scenarios of man-machine-things, such as remote industrial control, and augment reality, to provide a novel and ideal means for NaaS (network as a service).…”
