Shiming Liao

School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China

Title: Intergenerational Ties in Context: Association between Caring for Grandchildren and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese
Biography:

Shiming Liao has completed her undergraduate studies at the age of 23 years from Huazhong Unveisity of Science and Technology of School of Medicine and Health Management and been majoring in health economics at Fudan University currently. She has published two papers in reputed journals during her undergraduate period and has been a member of one National Natural Science Foundation Program held by her tutors.

Abstract:

Grandchild caregiving is suggested to improve the elderly’s cognitive function, but the specific relationship remains under-investigated. Considering gender disparity, this study aimed to understand the relationship between grandchild caregiving and cognition. In total, 7236 Chinese residents (≥45 years old) were selected from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (CHARLS-HCAP) was used to measure cognition. Grandparenting was measured from three dimensions: caregiving frequency, intensity, and the number of grandchildren cared for. The relationship was examined by multivariate linear regression, with age as a moderator. The results showed that the majority of respondents provided care to their grandchildren, especially grandmothers. Grandchild caregiving was positively associated with cognition (β = 0.686, 95% CI = 0.334–1.038), especially in the older-aged group. Moderate, not regular grandparenting, or caring for one grandchild was more positively associated with cognitive function. However, intensive and regular grandchild care was significantly associated with cognition only in men. No moderating effects of age were found in women. The study confirmed that moderate intensity and frequency of caregiving was related to better cognitive function in middle-aged and older Chinese population, whereas cultural context and gender differences could be considered when designing targeted policies.

Community midwifery care of women in postpartum period had a deep tradition in the Czech Republic. However, at present, community midwives are not in favor and therefore, of the total number of all midwives, only about 10% of midwives work in a community environment, the rest are in the hospital sphere. Most women have to pay for community care for midwives from their finances because health insurance companies do not want to pay for it. In addition, community midwifery care of women in postpartum period would have to be recommended by the attending gynecologist, who often perceives this care as above standard.
The presentation on the topic of Community Midwifery Care in the Postpartum Period in the Czech Republic will present the history of midwifery community care of women in postpartum period in the Czech Republic and present the current situation. Current research surveys will be included, which will present both public opinion on the importance of midwifery care in the community environment (Dušová, 2019), but also the results of health and mental complications in postpartum women in connection with the care of community midwives and results related to women's quality of life after childbirth in connection with the care of community midwives (Janoušková, 2015; Hendrych Lorenzová, Bártlová, 2019).

Abstract:

Prolonged critical illness renders survivors with increased long-term morbidity associated with high healthcare costs. Muscle weakness and fatigue are reported as the main contributors to long-term poor functional outcomes. Emerging evidence for early mobilisation demonstrates reduction in the number of ventilator days and hospital length of stay. It has been demonstrated that daytime motoring (passive and active) can improve functional capacity in intensive care patients. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of cycling exercise in patients on mechanical ventilation appointed to weaning process.

Abstract:

Health coverage is understood as those objectives that guide the transformation of health systems so that all individuals and communities have equitable access to the comprehensive, guaranteed and enforceable services they need, throughout their lives, with quality and without financial hardship. It addresses the social determinants of health and emphasises groups in situations of poverty and vulnerability.  The current World Health Organisation Strategy defines  the sine qua non conditions that will enable countries to guide their policies and measure the success and speed of their progress towards universal health coverage. Its basic antecedents date back to the Alma Ata conference in 1978, the revised criteria in 2005 on the necessary renewal of Primary Health Care, the Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health (2011), the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) (2012), the Discussion for the Post-2015 Development Agenda and the Commitment of Member States at the 52nd Directing Council of PAHO/WHO (2013). In European countries, Spain is the 20th country in the world with the highest density of doctors, with 3.9 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants, according to the results of the Annual Health Statistics Report 2018, published by the World Health Organization (WHO). The exhaustive study includes data from 194 countries over the last decade. Ahead of Spain are European countries such as Greece, with a ratio of 6.3 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants; Portugal (4.4); Germany (4.2); and Italy (4). While in 2012 Spain was the 51st country with the most nurses per 1,000 inhabitants (with
5.1 professionals), in this new edition the country has dropped to 59th place. This is a significant decrease despite the fact that the ratio has risen to 5.3 nurses per 1,000 inhabitants. If we compare this year's data with those of previous editions of the report, this year's figure shows a significant reduction compared to 2015. In this conference the author reviews the current situation of some macro-indicators and their behaviour by country.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the unrespecting for fundamental human rights in healthcare industry.  It appears that the right to healthcare in general, and the redistribution of the goods which are the most crucial for patients, in more specific terms are in conflict.  Especially conflict arises a conflict between ensuring the best interest of patient and public health ethic. 

In my depth analyses the article  will contribute to the overall strengthening of the value-based health policy, as the implementation of human rights standards in patients rights developed in response to  the current pandemic crisis are now becoming an urgent global need. Human rights standards are instruments which guard human life, autonomy of patient, self-determination. Above all in correlation with their being based in the imperative of respect for human dignity as the source, they constitute an imperative for treating  patients as a partner in theirs relataion to healthcare industry, and physicians.

Abstract:

For up to 75% of the problems effecting people’s health, the solutions sit beyond the health system. Problems like poor quality housing effecting a person’s respiratory health, credit or debt issues exacerbating stress and anxiety, and violence in the home are all exaamples of everyday problems that effect people’s health but may not be resolved by healthcare alone. Health services have become very good at recognising the impact these problems have on people’s health, but they don’t always have the tools to address them. 
Health justice partnership is a service collaboration that is changing that. By embedding legal help into healthcare teams and settings to tackle the impact of legal problems on health and wellbeing, this approach demonstrates how we can build the capability to identify and respond to non-medical problems through the healthcare settings that people know and trust. Through this approach, new alliances are also emerging in relation to policy and system-level improvements to public health across a range of areas.
This keynote will argue for the inclusion of legal institutions and legal assistance services within our understanding of the social deteminants of health, as key mechanisms to improve family healt and wellbeing. It will then present a series of case studies from hospital, primary health and child and maternal health settings to demonstrate the impact of embedding legal help into healthcare teams and settings and the evidence of systemic change that is emerging from the international movement for health justice partnership.

Title: Transformation of Japanese Digital Health with and after COVID-19
Biography:

Masatsugu Tsuji is the president of Kobe International University, and Professor Emeritus of Osaka University. Received Ph.D. in Economics from Stanford University, US. in 1976. His serves include visiting professors of Carnegie Mellon University, US and National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan; Board of Director, International Telecommunications Society; Editorial Board, Journal of International Society of Telemedicine and eHealth, and Smart Homecare Technology and TeleHealth; coordinator of e-Health Economics, ISfTeH.

He has been consulting the Japanese Government and local governments for implementing telemedicine.

Abstract:

This paper aims to examine the following research questions: (i) how and in what purpose digital health is utilized, that is, how to utilize digital health in the better and wiser way for patients, particular coronavirus patients; and (ii) what policies promote digital health in the age of AI and digital transformation to solve problems such as an increase in medical expenditures related to chronic diseases, reduction of medical resources in less populated regions, overwork of medical staff, and so on. In the industry and business, the utilization of ICT such as cloud computing, big data, AI has been proceeding in a much wider and speedy way and creating new innovations aiming at Industry 4.0. Why medicine is lagged behind? When will Telemedicine 4.0 be realized? These are what this paper focuses on. This study examines whether online clinic is accepted by not only physicians but also patients, what are better and wiser policies to promote digital transformation in medicine. The amount of reimbursement itself is not sole reason. In particular, to answer the second RQ; (ii) what policies promote digital health, this paper proposes some policies which provide incentives to medical institutions to promote efficiency of medical care provision and hospital management, which were already implemented in the deregulation in telecommunications such as incentive regulations on telecommunications charges. This is required for not only a society with corona but also that of post corona.
