For several years, Australia has been slipping behind the rest of the OECD in its rate of business innovation. If, as economists believe, innovation is the fundamental driver of prosperity, this is a harbinger of long-term problems for the country. To find a successful way forward, we need to understand the nature and limitations of our innovation achievements. Measured Success analyses eleven cases of Australian high-technology innovation, exploring where we have gone right and where more could have been achieved. Drawing lessons from both the successes and failures, the authors provide valuable insights into Australian innovation management, and the challenges that lie ahead. Measured Success is an important commentary on the state of innovation in Australia, and offers fresh direction for policy in this area.

Today more than ever, sleep specialists can take advantage of innovative telemedicine technologies for optimal treatment of sleep disorders. In recent years, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has been committed to advancing the adoption of telemedicine in order to improve access to high-quality, patient-centered care. Principles and Practice of Sleep Telemedicine is the first reference of its kind to provide direction to sleep physicians on using telemedicine in clinical practice. In a single convenient volume, this new resource serves as a step-by-step guide for practitioners to effectively treat and diagnose their patients in this contemporary clinical setting. Presents the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Christine Won, who has served in the AASM’s development of updated telemedicine guidelines, and renowned author and sleep medicine expert Dr. Meir Kryger. Covers the telemedicine topics that sleep medicine practitioners most want to know—not only clinical topics on virtual interaction with patients, but also logistical, technical, and administrative details. Includes resources for setting up a telemedicine service, information on legal and regulatory issues, and insight on how COVID-19 has changed the telemedicine landscape. Contains pearls and advice on common pitfalls practitioners are likely to encounter when administering virtual patient care, provided by pioneers in the field of telemedicine.

Complete and comprehensive reference on the principles of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques using pressure oscillation Pressure Oscillation in Biomedical Diagnostics and Therapy presents key findings in imaging, diagnostics, and therapies using high and low frequency pressure waves in a concise and easy-to-understand way, focusing primarily on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems that utilize acoustics (mechanical wave motion). The work provides basic background in relevant acoustic theory as well as specific technical information associated with modern medical applications. Low frequency acoustics (pressure oscillation) and some aspects of ultrasound (radiation force) are also reviewed. The principles in the work can be extended to include other areas relating to materials and metal diagnostics. To allow for maximum reader comprehension regardless of current expertise on the subject, each chapter includes a brief history, current developments, and practical applications of the topic covered within. Furthermore, all chapters are based on engineering and physiological principles to deliver practical technologies. Sample topics covered in the work include: Fundamental principles of pressure oscillation (PO), discussing the basic principles of pressure oscillation and how they can be formulated into mathematical equations PO in imaging techniques, discussing the basic principles of converting pressure oscillation to a tool in biomedical imaging Lung mechanics, discussing how each part of the lung is associated with various diseases and how PO can target these parts Asthma, discussing the basic concepts of asthma, the importance of airway smooth muscle (ASM), and dynamic behavior of ASM Pressure Oscillation in Biomedical Diagnostics and Therapy links pressure oscillation (PO) and biomedical diagnostics and therapy for scholars and practitioners. It is an essential resource for all professionals who wish to be on the cutting edge of treating lung diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, and respiratory distress syndrome.

This book, written for pulmonary and family doctors, general practitioners, allergologists, and neuropsychologists, presents cutting-edge clinical research and therapy-oriented knowledge in the field of respiratory medicine. Clinical knowledge is undergoing dramatic improvement. Respiration is one such prominent field. A better understanding of the pathogenesis of respiratory ailments and the regulation of lung ventilation is essential for advances in pharmacotherapy and the patient’s quality of life. The book discusses a wide scope of topics, notably, innovations in detection and management of chronic inflammatory conditions such as COPD or asthma, acute infections of the respiratory tract, airway allergies and hyper-responsiveness, lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary function in health, disease and aging, sleep disordered breathing, interaction between the respiratory system and other bodily functions, and psychosomatic aspects of disease. After all, respiration is generated and integrated by the brain; therefore brain function is influential in respiratory regulation. The book is a platform that fosters the exchange of new clinical data between clinicians and academic neuroscientists, bringing a unique blend of medical diagnosis and practice to the leadership in respiratory medicine.
