Latest AI and machine learning research in infection control / modes of transmission for healthcare professionals.
For Ashley Zappia (Figure 1), getting her hands dirty was part of her job. Even though she always tried to remain as clean as possible, her work as a nursing aide at a Southern California hospital required a lot of diapering, changing, and other hands-on tasks. She was mostly in the ER, where physical contact with bodily fluids from sick patients was normal. She was careful to wash her hands frequ...
Haptics has proven to be highly beneficial in surgical robotics, bringing enhanced safety and precision by complementing the surgeon's visual channel. However, most of the research body in this context is dedicated to applications involving traditional "cold steel" surgical instruments. This paper proposes to bring the benefits of haptics to contactless surgeries, and presents a novel method to ac...
