OBJECTIVE: Robotic gloves show promise in hand assistance due to their wearability and home-based potential, yet empirical research remains limited. This pilot study presents a fabric-based pneumatic soft glove, aiming to identify its potential and c...
Pathological tremor significantly impairs daily activities and quality of life, particularly in conditions such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. The assessment and evaluation of tremor, along with its evolution with medication dosages, po...
OBJECTIVE: Identifying cognitive impairment early enough could support timely intervention of cognitive impairment and facilitate successful cognitive aging. We aimed to build more precise prediction models for cognitive function using less variable ...
BACKGROUND: Dementia has an impact on the quality of life (QoL) of people with dementia. Tailored services are crucial for improving their QoL. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer opportunities for personalised care, potentially delaying i...
In this article, I propose an ethical analysis of assistive domestic robots for older users. In doing so, I illustrate my inquiry with the example of ROB-IN assistive robot. ROB-IN is a Spanish project which is devoted to developing a robot that will...
Cognitive frailty (CF), a clinical syndrome involving both physical frailty (PF) and impaired cognition (IC), is associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. This study aimed to identify key predictors of CF and develop a machine learning...
