Exo-Glove Poly II: A Polymer-Based Soft Wearable Robot for the Hand with a Tendon-Driven Actuation System.
Soft robotics
Dec 18, 2018
This article presents Exo-Glove Poly (EGP) II, a soft wearable robot for the hand with a glove that is completely constructed of polymer materials and that operates through tendon-driven actuation for use in spinal cord injury (SCI). EGP II can resto...
Assistive robots for socialization in elderly people: results pertaining to the needs of the users.
Aging clinical and experimental research
Dec 17, 2018
BACKGROUND/AIM: Technological solutions can support the elderly, improve their quality of life and reduce isolation and loneliness. The Euro-Japan ACCRA (Agile Co-Creation for Robots and Aging) project has the objective of building a reference co-cre...
Wrist accelerometer shape feature derivation methods for assessing activities of daily living.
BMC medical informatics and decision making
Dec 12, 2018
BACKGROUND: There has been an increasing interest in understanding the usefulness of wrist-based accelerometer data for physical activity (PA) assessment due to the ease of use and higher user compliance than other body placements. PA assessment stud...
A nurse-driven method for developing artificial intelligence in "smart" homes for aging-in-place.
Nursing outlook
Nov 23, 2018
OBJECTIVES: To offer practical guidance to nurse investigators interested in multidisciplinary research that includes assisting in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for "smart" health management and aging-in-place.
Soft Poly-Limbs: Toward a New Paradigm of Mobile Manipulation for Daily Living Tasks.
Soft robotics
Oct 10, 2018
We present the design and development of the fluid-driven, wearable, Soft Poly-Limb (SPL), from the Greek word polys, meaning many. The SPL utilizes the numerous traits of soft robotics to enable a novel approach in providing safe and compliant mobil...
A wearable hip-assist robot reduces the cardiopulmonary metabolic energy expenditure during stair ascent in elderly adults: a pilot cross-sectional study.
BMC geriatrics
Sep 29, 2018
BACKGROUND: Stair ascent is one of the most important and challenging activities of daily living to maintain mobility and independence in elderly adults. Recently, various types of wearable walking assist robots have been developed to improve gait fu...
Recognition of Sedentary Behavior by Machine Learning Analysis of Wearable Sensors during Activities of Daily Living for Telemedical Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sep 24, 2018
With the recent advancement in wearable computing, sensor technologies, and data processing approaches, it is possible to develop smart clothing that integrates sensors into garments. The main objective of this study was to develop the method of auto...
Bio-inspired upper limb soft exoskeleton to reduce stroke-induced complications.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 24, 2018
Stroke has become the leading cause of disability and the second-leading cause of mortality worldwide. Dyskinesia complications are the major reason of these high death and disability rates. As a tool for rapid motion function recovery in stroke pati...
Exploratory analysis using machine learning to predict for chest wall pain in patients with stage I non-small-cell lung cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Jul 10, 2018
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chest wall toxicity is observed after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for peripherally located lung tumors. We utilize machine learning algorithms to identify toxicity predictors to develop dose-volume constraints.
A sequence-to-sequence model-based deep learning approach for recognizing activity of daily living for senior care.
Journal of biomedical informatics
Jul 10, 2018
Ensuring the health and safety of independent-living senior citizens is a growing societal concern. Researchers have developed sensor based systems to monitor senior citizens' Activity of Daily Living (ADL), a set of daily activities that can indicat...
