Daily Human Activity Recognition Using Non-Intrusive Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence Technologies (AIT) have been developed to improve the quality of life of the elderly and their safety in the home. This work focuses on developing a system capable of recognising the most usual activities in t...

Continuous Tongue Robot Mapping for Paralyzed Individuals Improves the Functional Performance of Tongue-Based Robotic Assistance.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Individuals with tetraplegia have a challenging life due to a lack of independence and autonomy. Assistive robots have the potential to assist with the activities of daily living and thus improve the quality of life. However, an efficient and reliabl...

Reliable and valid robot-assisted assessments of hand proprioceptive, motor and sensorimotor impairments after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neurological injuries such as stroke often differentially impair hand motor and somatosensory function, as well as the interplay between the two, which leads to limitations in performing activities of daily living. However, it is challeng...

Comparison of machine learning techniques for the identification of human activities from inertial sensors available in a mobile device after the application of data imputation techniques.

Computers in biology and medicine
Human activity recognition (HAR) is a significant research area due to its wide range of applications in intelligent health systems, security, and entertainment games. Over the past few years, many studies have recognized human daily living activitie...

Classical Machine Learning Versus Deep Learning for the Older Adults Free-Living Activity Classification.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Physical activity has a strong influence on mental and physical health and is essential in healthy ageing and wellbeing for the ever-growing elderly population. Wearable sensors can provide a reliable and economical measure of activities of daily liv...

Machine Learning Algorithm Identifies the Importance of Environmental Factors for Hospital Discharge to Home of Stroke Patients using Wheelchair after Discharge.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Physical environmental factors are generally likely to become barriers for discharge to home of wheelchair users, compared with non-wheelchair users. However, the importance of environmental factors has not been investigated a...

Home-care robots - Attitudes and perceptions among older people, carers and care professionals in Ireland: A questionnaire study.

Health & social care in the community
Many countries face major challenges to ensure that their health and social care systems are ready for the growing numbers of older people (OP). As a way of realising ageing in place, assistive technologies such as home-care robots are expected to pl...

Comprehensible instructions from assistive robots for older adults with or without cognitive impairment.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The purpose of this study was to reveal comprehensible instructions from an assistive robot for older adults, across cognitive levels and characteristics. Participants included 19 older adults with or without cognitive impairment. We administered cog...

Older adults' experiences and perceptions of living with Bomy, an assistive dailycare robot: a qualitative study.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
An aging global population and preference for aging-in-place pose the opportunity for home-based robots to assist older adults with their daily routines. However, there is limited research into the experiences of older adults using robots in their ow...

Robotic assistive and rehabilitation devices leading to motor recovery in upper limb: a systematic review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Stroke, spinal cord injury and other neuromuscular disorders lead to impairments in the human body. Upper limb impairments, especially hand impairments affect activities of daily living (ADL) and reduce the quality of life. The purpose of th...
