Supervised classification approach of biometric measures for automatic fetal defect screening in head ultrasound images.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
This paper presents an advanced approach for foetal brain abnormalities diagnostic by integrating significant biometric features in the identification process. In foetal anomaly diagnosis, manual evaluation of foetal behaviour in ultrasound images is...

Methodology and validation for identifying gait type using machine learning on IMU data.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
With the rising popularity of activity tracking, there is a desire to not only count the number of steps a person takes, but also identify the type of step (e.g., walking or running) they are taking. For rehabilitation and athletic training, this dif...

Phonocardiogram classification using deep neural networks and weighted probability comparisons.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Cardiac auscultation is one of the most conventional approaches for the initial assessment of heart disease, however the technique is highly user-dependent and with low repeatability. Several computational approaches based on the analysis of the phon...

Shape memory alloy reinforced 5 mm ultra-thin rigid link surgical instrument with force-feedback.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
We report the development of a rigid link surgical instrument for surgical robotics. The device is only 5 mm in diameter and equipped with a shape memory alloy for better gripping, which avoids the use of mechanical gears. This ultra-thin instrument ...

Epileptic seizure anticipation and localisation of epileptogenic region using EEG signals.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Electric activity of brain gets disturbed prior to epileptic seizure onset. Early prediction of an upcoming seizure can help to increase effectiveness of antiepileptic drugs. The scalp electroencephalogram signals contain information about the dynami...

Design, characterisation and evaluation of a soft robotic sock device on healthy subjects for assisted ankle rehabilitation.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Motor impairment is one of the common neurological conditions suffered by stroke patients, where this chronic immobility together with the absence of early limb mobilisation can lead to conditions such as joint contracture with spastic limbs. In this...

Epileptic seizure detection using DWT-based approximate entropy, Shannon entropy and support vector machine: a case study.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
In this work, we have used a time-frequency domain analysis method called discrete wavelet transform (DWT) technique. This method stand out compared to other proposed methods because of its algorithmic elegance and accuracy. A wavelet is a mathematic...

Full-driving soft robotic colonoscope in compliant colon tissue.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Robotic colonoscopy is an efficient examination method for finding malignant tumour in its early stage. This research developed a novel robotic endoscope with 13 mm diameter, 105 mm length and 22.3 g weight. A contact biomechanical model is proposed ...

Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy symptoms detection and classification using neural network.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) causes blindness in the working age for people with diabetes in most countries. The increasing number of people with diabetes worldwide suggests that DR will continue to be major contributors to vision loss. Early detection ...

A novel laparoscopic grasper with two parallel jaws capable of extracting the mechanical behaviour of soft tissues.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Data related to force-deformation behaviour of soft tissue plays an important role in medical/surgical applications such as realistically modelling mechanical behaviour of soft tissue as well as minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and medical diagnosis....
