Visual In-Context Learning for Few-Shot Eczema Segmentation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automated diagnosis of eczema from digital camera images is crucial for applications that allow patients to self-monitor their recovery. An important component of this is the segmentation of eczema region from such images. Current methods for eczema ...

Mathematical Modeling and Characterization of a Wearable Soft Robotic Device for Muscle Mechanotherapy.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Treatments of disuse-induced muscle atrophy entail unmet clinical needs due to the lack of medical devices capable of mimicking physicians manual therapies. Therefore, in this paper we develop and model a wearable soft pneumatic elastomeric actuator ...

Interpretable SincNet-Based Spatiotemporal Neural Network for Seizure Prediction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Spatiotemporal convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as potent tools for seizure prediction (SP) using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, probing spatiotemporal biomarkers in epileptic brains. Nevertheless, it poses significant challenge...

Design and Development of 8-DoF Forearm Rehabilitation Device.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic systems for rehabilitating forearm have been an active area of research. A majority of the daily living activities require the use of the forearm significantly, and hence affecting the quality of life of the patient if not rehabilitated promp...

Channel Fitting Network for Retinal Lesion Segmentation from OCT Images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Retinal lesion is a cause of age-related macular degeneration that poses a big threat to elderly population. The accurate detection and segmentation of retinal lesions benefits the early diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration and monitoring of...

Enhancing Model Generalizability In Parkinson's Disease Automatic Assessment: A Semi-Supervised Approach Across Independent Experiments.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Machine learning in Parkinson's disease assessment uses data from clinically-coded movements, such as finger tapping, to objectively measure motor impairment. Video-based models showed promise in several experiments, but the lack of a unified test be...

Assessment of Force Feedback Models in a Haptic Device Using Alignment Accuracy and Brain Activity.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
When controlling a robot's velocity, it is necessary to provide force feedback to the user, which shows the amount of input from the neutral position. In this paper, we introduce three distinct force feedback models, each with one or two parameters, ...

Graph dictionary learning for the study of human motion.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this article, we introduce a method inspired by Graph Signal Processing (GSP) for the analysis of human motion based on the 3D positions of skeletal joints. Our approach uses a graph dictionary learning technique, in which each velocity sample is ...

Assessing the Physical Impact of Supernumerary Limbs on a Human Subject: A Simulation Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Wearable robotic systems physically interact with the human user, and it may alternate human body states. It has been studied to exploit the dynamics of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) to assist human balancing by constructing a closed-chain. Howe...

Using Transfer Learning to Refine Object Detection Models for Blind and Low Vision Users.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Object detection models available on smartphones such as YOLOv8 can potentially help identify and locate objects of interest to people who are blind or low vision (pBLV). However, current models may miss crucial objects for pBLV. Here, we compared 5 ...
