Impact of Intermediary Feedback on Eye-tracking

People who are unable to use speech to meet their communication needs often use augmentative and alternative communication technology systems. Though many access their systems by directly touching a screen or keyboard, others with significant physical disabilities use alternate access methods. An increasingly common access method is the use of eye-tracking technologies (Fager et al., 2012), where cameras on the front of a device record where a user is looking in order to move and make selections with the on-screen mouse. This method requires users to look at the screen to move the cursor, and then to sustain their gaze on their selection for a pre-determined amount of times (i.e., dwell). The purpose of the study is to understand the impact of different types of visual feedback used to illustrate whereto cursor is on a screen on people's ability to navigate the screen with their eyes.

Enhancing Blood Donation at Schools and Beyond in Malawi

To address the core problem of insufficient safe blood supply for the country, targeting the lowest risk and most receptive population for consistent donation can be successful. The 2018 population census shows that the total population aged 15 to 24 is 3,687,521 out of which 1,905,165 (52%) are males and 17% (645,000/ 3,687,521) live in urban areas clearly showing the large blood donation potential for the country (National Statistical Office, 2019). The two studies conducted in the initial Year 1 and Year 2 of the Malawi BLOODSAFE Project (2020-2022) have provided rich information on temporal and geographical patterns of blood donation and transfusion transmissible infection as well as barriers and facilitators to blood donation. Using this information, we now propose to develop a comprehensive integrated school-based and post-school donation clubs to serve as a foundation that will encourage lifelong donation and improve the supply of safe blood in Malawi.
