The experimental validation of the closed-loop control performance confirmed the satisfaction of the control goals.
The consistent decreasing trends in satisfaction scores of control group patients in each follow-up indicates that the patients did not achieve their desired expectation and they were still facing problems in coping the disease.
However, the continuous detrimental in satisfaction scores of control group patients could be seen during follow-ups and finally they were found 'least satisfied' at twelve months follow-up (median score <48).
This results in the asymptotic satisfaction of the control objectives at the sampling instants.
An appropriate cost function, taken into account both minimisation of high frequency gain and satisfaction of performance control specifications, is developed.
Numerous tools have been designed to capture these, such as the Satisfaction with Life Scale [ 24], Ryff's psychological wellbeing scale [ 25] and CASP-19, a needs satisfaction measure comprised of control, autonomy, self-realization and pleasure domains [ 23].
This simple telehealth strategy for managing hypertension in the community was met with high levels of patient satisfaction and feelings of control and support.
For upright labour, several physiological advantages have been hypothesized and measured, such as effects of gravity, stronger uterine contractions, maternal satisfaction and feeling of control [ 1– 3].
In order to adjust for possible confounders in the association of the primary care attribute scores with categorical measures of health status, satisfaction, and level of control of diabetes and hypertension, we will construct logistic regression or log-binomial models.
In addition, it increases patient and clinician satisfaction, patient perceptions of control over health, preferences for an active role in health care, recall of information, adherence to recommendations, attendance and clinical outcomes [ 2].
