A Low-Cost Assistive Robot for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders to Aid in Daily Living Activities.

International journal of environmental research and public health
In this paper, we present a new low-cost robotic platform that has been explicitly developed to increase children with neurodevelopmental disorders' involvement in the environment during everyday living activities. In order to support the children an...

Development and feasibility of a soft pneumatic-robotic glove to assist impaired hand function in quadriplegia patients: A pilot study.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
One of the common disorders in people with quadriplegia is having a weak grip strength that can affect activities of daily living (ADL). This study presents the design of a soft robotic glove via pneumatic actuators and feasibility according to a ran...

Supervised machine learning-based prediction for in-hospital pressure injury development using electronic health records: A retrospective observational cohort study in a university hospital in Japan.

International journal of nursing studies
BACKGROUND: In hospitals, nurses are responsible for pressure injury risk assessment using several kinds of risk assessment scales. However, their predictive validity is insufficient to initiate targeted preventive strategy for each patient. The use ...

NT-FDS-A Noise Tolerant Fall Detection System Using Deep Learning on Wearable Devices.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Given the high prevalence and detrimental effects of unintentional falls in the elderly, fall detection has become a pertinent public concern. A Fall Detection System (FDS) gathers information from sensors to distinguish falls from routine activities...

Effect of the Information Support Robot on the Daily Activity of Older People Living Alone in Actual Living Environment.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Information support robots (ISRs) have the potential to assist older people living alone to have an independent life. However, the effects of ISRs on the daily activity, especially the sleep patterns, of older people have not been clarified; moreover...

Activities of daily living with bionic arm improved by combination training and latching filter in prosthesis control comparison.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Advanced prostheses can restore function and improve quality of life for individuals with amputations. Unfortunately, most commercial control strategies do not fully utilize the rich control information from residual nerves and musculatur...

A Risk Prediction Model Based on Machine Learning for Cognitive Impairment Among Chinese Community-Dwelling Elderly People With Normal Cognition: Development and Validation Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Identifying cognitive impairment early enough could support timely intervention that may hinder or delay the trajectory of cognitive impairment, thus increasing the chances for successful cognitive aging.

Improved Action Recognition with Separable Spatio-Temporal Attention Using Alternative Skeletal and Video Pre-Processing.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The potential benefits of recognising activities of daily living from video for active and assisted living have yet to be fully untapped. These technologies can be used for behaviour understanding, and lifelogging for caregivers and end users alike. ...

A Machine Learning Multi-Class Approach for Fall Detection Systems Based on Wearable Sensors with a Study on Sampling Rates Selection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Falls are dangerous for the elderly, often causing serious injuries especially when the fallen person stays on the ground for a long time without assistance. This paper extends our previous work on the development of a Fall Detection System (FDS) usi...

An eight-camera fall detection system using human fall pattern recognition via machine learning by a low-cost android box.

Scientific reports
Falls are a leading cause of unintentional injuries and can result in devastating disabilities and fatalities when left undetected and not treated in time. Current detection methods have one or more of the following problems: frequent battery replace...
