An Infrared Array Sensor-Based Method for Localizing and Counting People for Health Care and Monitoring.

To build a system for monitoring elderly people living alone, an important step needs to be done: identifying the presence/absence of the person being monitored and his location. Such task has several applications that we discuss in this paper, and remains very important. Several techniques were proposed in the literature. However, most of them suffer from issues related to privacy, coverage or co...

Fall Detector Adapted to Nursing Home Needs through an Optical-Flow based CNN.

Fall detection in specialized homes for the elderly is challenging. Vision-based fall detection solutions have a significant advantage over sensor-based ones as they do not instrument the resident who can suffer from mental diseases. This work is part of a project intended to deploy fall detection solutions in nursing homes. The proposed solution, based on Deep Learning, is built on a Convolutiona...

Evaluating Performance and Interpretability of Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Delirium in Gerontopsychiatric Patients.

Delirium is an acute mental disturbance that particularly occurs during hospital stay. Current clinical assessment instruments include the Delirium Ob...

Mobile Robotic Telepresence Between Hospital and School: Lessons Learned.

If a pupil falls seriously ill, it is not only a shock for the pupil himself or herself, but also for his or her family and classmates. The project "V...

Automatic Extraction of Risk Factors for Dialysis Patients from Clinical Notes Using Natural Language Processing Techniques.

Studies have shown that mental health and comorbidities such as dementia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are risk factors for dialysis patients....

End-to-End Approach for Structuring Radiology Reports.
