Design and Preliminary Implementation of an Air Microfluidics Enabled Soft Robotic Knee Brace Towards the Management of Osteoarthritis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A dynamic and low-profile unloader tibiofemoral knee brace is designed and prototyped by synergizing concepts from the fields of microfluidics and soft robotics. Microfluidics provides strategies for miniaturization and multiplexing while soft roboti...

Robot Assisted Instantaneous Heart Rate Estimator using Camera based Remote Photoplethysmograpy via Plane-Orthogonal-to-Skin and Finite State Machine.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, we have presented Turtulebot-assisted instantaneous heart rate (HR) estimator using camera based remote photoplethysmography. We used a Turtlebot with a camera to record human face. For the face detection, we used Haar Cascade algorith...

Skeleton data pre-processing for human pose recognition using Neural Network.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic monitoring of daily living activities can greatly improve the possibility of living autonomously for frail individuals. Pose recognition based on skeleton tracking data is promising for identifying dangerous situations and trigger external ...

The efficacy of support vector machines in modelling deviations from the Beer-Lambert law for optical measurement of lactate.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Lactate is an important biomarker with a significant diagnostic and prognostic ability in relation to life-threatening conditions and diseases such as sepsis, diabetes, cancer, pulmonary and kidney diseases, to name a few. The gold standard method fo...

A Machine Learning Approach to Detecting Low Medication State with Wearable Technologies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Medication adherence is a critical component and implicit assumption of the patient life cycle that is often violated, incurring financial and medical costs to both patients and the medical system at large. As obstacles to medication adherence are co...

Visualizing Worklog Based on Human Working Activity Recognition Using Unsupervised Activity Pattern Encoding.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Wearable motion sensor-based complex activity recognition during working hours has recently been studied to evaluate and thereby improve worker productivity. In the application of this technique to practical fields, one of the biggest challenges is p...

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

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
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 r...

Regression of Hand Movements from sEMG Data with Recurrent Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Most wearable human-machine interfaces concerning hand movements only focus on classifying a limited number of hand gestures. With the introduction of deep learning, surface electromyography based hand gesture classification systems improved drastica...

Investigating muscle synergies changes after rehabilitation robotics training on stroke survivors: a pilot study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The current knowledge about muscle synergies does not clearly explain how both rehabilitation and brain plasticity act on the way they evolve after a cortical stroke. In this preliminary study, the authors analyzed the correlation between healthy and...

Deep Learning for Interictal Epileptiform Spike Detection from scalp EEG frequency sub bands.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Epilepsy diagnosis through visual examination of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a challenging problem. Deep learning methods can be an automated way to perform this task. In this work, we pres...
