What factors preventing the older adults in China from living longer: a machine learning study.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: The fact that most older people do not live long means that they do not have more time to pursue self-actualization and contribute value to society. Although there are many studies on the longevity of the elderly, the limitations of tradi...

Automated Detection of In-Home Activities with Ultra-Wideband Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As Canada's population of older adults rises, the need for aging-in-place solutions is growing due to the declining quality of long-term-care homes and long wait times. While the current standards include questionnaire-based assessments for monitorin...

Examining individual and contextual predictors of disability in Chinese older adults: A machine learning approach.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: There is a large gap of understanding the determinants of disability, especially the contextual characteristics. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the important predictors of disability in Chinese older adults based on the social eco...

Feature evaluation for myoelectric pattern recognition of multiple nearby reaching targets.

Medical engineering & physics
Intention detection of the reaching movement is considerable for myoelectric human and machine collaboration applications. A comprehensive set of handcrafted features was mined from windows of electromyogram (EMG) of the upper-limb muscles while reac...

Use of Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Assist Individuals with Physical Disabilities.

Annual review of biomedical engineering
Assistive technologies (AT) enable people with disabilities to perform activities of daily living more independently, have greater access to community and healthcare services, and be more productive performing educational and/or employment tasks. Int...

Exploring the Impact of the Class on In-the-Wild Human Activity Recognition.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Monitoring activities of daily living (ADLs) plays an important role in measuring and responding to a person's ability to manage their basic physical needs. Effective recognition systems for monitoring ADLs must successfully recognize naturalistic ac...

Predictive model for assessing malnutrition in elderly hospitalized cancer patients: A machine learning approach.

Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.)
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is prevalent among elderly cancer patients. This study aims to develop a predictive model for malnutrition in hospitalized elderly cancer patients.

Video-based assessments of activities of daily living: generating real-world evidence in pediatric rare diseases.

Expert review of pharmacoeconomics & outcomes research
INTRODUCTION: Preserving function and independence to perform activities of daily living (ADL) is critical for patients and carers to manage the burden of care and improve quality of life. In children living with rare diseases, video recording ADLs o...

A Multimodal Assistive-Robotic-Arm Control System to Increase Independence After Tetraplegia.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Following tetraplegia, independence for completing essential daily tasks, such as opening doors and eating, significantly declines. Assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) could restore independence, but typically input devices for these manipulators r...
