Otisma: an integrated application and humanoid robot as an educational tool for children with autism.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Autistic children have difficulty communicating wants, needs, and thoughts. In cases of low functioning autism, an individual can have serious speech and language disabilities. In response to the need of parents and therapists dealing with autistic c...

Restorative rehabilitation robotics to promote function, independence and dignity: users' perspectives on clinical applications.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
People with mobility impairments have reported that improving their walking is one of the most important goals of their rehabilitation. Novel robotic technologies using powered exoskeletons for the lower limb could potentially offer efficient and les...

Machine learning applied to healthcare: a conceptual review.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
The technological inference in procedures applied to healthcare is frequently investigated in order to understand the real contribution to decision-making and clinical improvement. In this context, the theoretical field of machine learning has suitab...

Attentional load classification in multiple object tracking task using optimized support vector machine classifier: a step towards cognitive brain-computer interface.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Cognitive brain-computer interface (cBCI) is an emerging area with applications in neurorehabilitation and performance monitoring. cBCI works on the cognitive brain signal that does not require a person to pay much effort unlike the motor brain-compu...

The adjunct of transcranial direct current stimulation to Robot-assisted therapy in upper limb post-stroke treatment.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) and robot-assisted therapy (RAT) proved to be promising interventions in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, the effects of combining the two treatments are not significantly clear. To determine the eff...

A region-specific clustering approach to investigate risk-factors in mortality rate during COVID-19: comprehensive statistical analysis from 208 countries.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19 has continuously spread across the globe briskly. However, since its existence, the symptoms of the disease have been varying widely; thus, developing an urgent need to stratify high-risk categori...

Classification of malignant lung cancer using deep learning.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
In the automatic detection of suspicious shaded regions on CT images derived from the LIDC-IDRI dataset, the diagnostic system plays a significant role. This paper introduces an automatic recognition method for lung nodules of the regions of concern ...

Machine learning in primary care: potential to improve public health.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
It is estimated that missed opportunities for diagnosis occur in 1 in 20 primary care appointments. This is not only detrimental to individual patients, but also to the healthcare system as health outcomes are affected and healthcare expenditure inev...

Role of machine learning in gait analysis: a review.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Human biomechanics and gait form an integral part of life. The gait analysis involves a large number of interdependent parameters that were difficult to interpret due to a vast amount of data and their inter-relations. To simplify evaluation, the int...

Soft robotic in the construction of prosthetic heart valve: a novel approach.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
In this study, we describe the design, fabrication and computational testing of a new prosthetic device for aortic valve replacement. The device is an active stent composed of a silicone rubber during initial prototyping, with adaptation towards a hy...
