A Technology System to Help People With Intellectual Disability and Blindness Find Room Destinations During Indoor Traveling: Case Series Study

Other programs used sound cues to guide participants to travel to (reach) specific room destinations with entrances distributed on the sides of a long corridor [38,39]). Their traveling was typically combined with transporting (carrying) objects to those room destinations and thus represented a functional form of activity, which was largely appreciated within the participants’ rehabilitation and care contexts [38,39].

Travel Distance Between Participants in US Telemedicine Sessions With Estimates of Emissions Savings: Observational Study

Travel Distance Between Participants in US Telemedicine Sessions With Estimates of Emissions Savings: Observational Study

Then we adjusted the travel distance for a more realistic approximation of travel savings due to telemedicine. We multiplied by 0.848, based on the assumption that approximately 84.8% of travel was car travel, consistent with American Community Survey data on adult commuting patterns in the United States [36].

Risk Assessment of Importation and Local Transmission of COVID-19 in South Korea: Statistical Modeling Approach

Due to the substantial growth of international travel, the complex network of human mobility has allowed pathogens to spread globally within a short time scale. In particular, the recent new COVID-19 variants have motivated the implementation of strengthened border control and lockdowns worldwide [7]. In this regard, most researchers have confirmed that COVID-19 was exported via air travel from mainland China.

Identifying and isolating individuals who have potentially been exposed to a virus can blunt the spread of a pandemic. Contact tracing involves finding people who have had contact with an infected individual during the time the individual was contagious.

Identifying Protective Health Behaviors on Twitter: Observational Study of Travel Advisories and Zika Virus

For example, Bajardi et al found that travel restrictions could reduce cases but probably only minimally [28]. However, research done by Huizer et al finds that air travel could have dramatically changed the 1968 pandemic influenza in Hong Kong [29]. In general, travel is thought to play an important but variable role in disease transmission. Current recommendations are to implement travel-related control measures as necessary [30,31].
