Bed-Exit Prediction Applying Neural Network Combining Bed Position Detection and Patient Posture Estimation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The work of a nurse involves tasks that can lead to serious accidents with a single mistake or miss, and thus nurses are exposed to high stress. In particular, injections, pre-medications, tube connections, and falling are factors that lead to seriou...

[Support for Patients and Their Family Using Artificial Intelligence].

Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo
For patients with dementia and their family, artificial intelligence (AI) has been utilized to support diagnosis and evaluation. In addition, communication robots equipped with AI offer a way to maintain the cognitive functions of patients with demen...

Training and Interpreting Machine Learning Algorithms to Evaluate Fall Risk After Emergency Department Visits.

Medical care
BACKGROUND: Machine learning is increasingly used for risk stratification in health care. Achieving accurate predictive models do not improve outcomes if they cannot be translated into efficacious intervention. Here we examine the potential utility o...

Pre-Impact Fall Detection Using 3D Convolutional Neural Network.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Early fall detection is an important issue during gait rehabilitation training. This paper proposes an approach for pre-impact fall detection during gait rehabilitation training based on a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN). Firstly, pre-training ...

Robot-based assessment of sitting and standing balance: preliminary results in Parkinson's disease.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Postural responses to unstable conditions or perturbations are important predictors of the risk of falling and can reveal balance deficits in people with neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, there is a lack of evidences ...

Characteristics of Transactive Relationship Phenomena among Older adults, Care Workers as Intermediaries, and the Pepper Robot with Care Prevention Gymnastics Exercises.

The journal of medical investigation : JMI
Healthcare for older adults is a significant problem in Japan and in other developed countries. To address this problem, healthcare robots, now realized, can assist and meet healthcare and welfare practice demands. The aim of this study was to clarif...

Co-Saliency-Enhanced Deep Recurrent Convolutional Networks for Human Fall Detection in E-Healthcare.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper addresses the issue of fall detection from videos for e-healthcare and assisted-living. Instead of using conventional hand-crafted features from videos, we propose a fall detection scheme based on co-saliency-enhanced recurrent convolution...

Design and analysis of a novel fall prevention device for lower limbs rehabilitation robot.

Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Most stroke survivors are suffering from physical motor impairments and confronting with the risk of falls, and well trunk stability is essential for balance during daily functional activities.

Can Staff Distinguish Falls: Experimental Hypothesis Verification Using Japanese Incident Reports and Natural Language Processing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Falls are generally classified into two groups in clinical settings in Japan: falls from the same level and falls from one level to another. We verified whether clinical staff could distinguish between these two types of falls by comparing 3,078 free...

Establishing a Classification System for High Fall-Risk Among Inpatients Using Support Vector Machines.

Computers, informatics, nursing : CIN
We constructed a model using a support vector machine to determine whether an inpatient will suffer a fall on a given day, depending on patient status on the previous day. Using fall report data from our own facility and intensity-of-nursing-care-nee...
