Brain-Computer Interface-controlled Upper Limb Robotic System for Enhancing Daily Activities in Stroke Patients.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
This study introduces a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-controlled upper limb assistive robot for post-stroke rehabilitation. The system utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) signals to help users assist upper limb function in...

A Quantitative Study of Factors Influencing Myasthenia Gravis Telehealth Examination Score.

Muscle & nerve
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: The adoption of telemedicine is generally considered as advantageous for patients and physicians, but there is limited rigorous assessment of examination strengths and limitations. We set out to perform a quantitative assessment of...

Risk prediction models for frailty in older adults: A systematic review and critical appraisal.

International journal of nursing studies
BACKGROUND: Frailty can lead to increased adverse health outcomes in older adults. Risk prediction models for frailty have benefits in guiding the prevention. Studies have increasingly focused on the development of risk prediction models for frailty ...

Real-Time Acoustic Scene Recognition for Elderly Daily Routines Using Edge-Based Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The demand for intelligent monitoring systems tailored to elderly living environments is rapidly increasing worldwide with population aging. Traditional acoustic scene monitoring systems that rely on cloud computing are limited by data transmission d...

Mobile manipulation aids aim at enabling people with motor impairments to physically interact with their environment. To facilitate the operation of such systems, a variety of components, such as suitable user interfaces and intuitive control of the ...

Cognitive performance classification of older patients using machine learning and electronic medical records.

Scientific reports
Dementia rates are projected to increase significantly by 2050, posing considerable challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Developing efficient diagnostic tools is critical, and machine learning (ML) algorithms have shown potential for improvin...

Optimal design of a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm for activities of daily living.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of upper limb dysfunctions due to stroke, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis presents a critical challenge in assistive technology: designing robotic arms that are both energy‑efficient and capable of effe...

Comparison of logistic regression and machine learning methods for predicting depression risks among disabled elderly individuals: results from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Given the accelerated aging population in China, the number of disabled elderly individuals is increasing, and depression is a common mental disorder among older adults. This study aims to establish an effective model for predicting depre...

The relationship between activities of daily living and speech impediments based on evidence from statistical and machine learning analyses.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Speech impediments (SIs) are increasingly prevalent among middle-aged and older adults, raising concerns within public health. Early detection of potential SI in this demographic is critical. This study investigates the potential of Act...

Smart home-assisted anomaly detection system for older adults: a deep learning approach with a comprehensive set of daily activities.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Smart homes have the potential to enable remote monitoring of the health and well-being of older adults, leading to improved health outcomes and increased independence. However, current approaches only consider a limited set of daily activities and d...
