Children are rarely affected by medical emergencies. The experience of doctors or paramedics with child emergencies is correspondingly poor. The anatomical features and individual calculations make such an emergency much more error-prone than a compa...
This study investigated a method to adjust hearing-aid gain by use of a machine-learning algorithm that estimates the optimal setting of gain parameters based on user preference indicated in an iterative paired-comparison procedure. Twenty hearing-im...

In the practical implementation of control of electromyography (sEMG) driven devices, algorithms should recognize the human's motion from sEMG with fast speed and high accuracy. This study proposes two feature engineering (FE) techniques, namely, fea...
BACKGROUNDROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) in stroke patients. The serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of force) are adapted based on the patie...

This paper describes a vision-referential speech enhancement of an audio signal using mask information captured as visual data. Smartphones and tablet devices have become popular in recent years. Most of them not only have a microphone but also a cam...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) enables video rate imaging of blood flow. However, its relation to tissue blood perfusion is nonlinear and depends strongly on exposure time. By contrast, the perfusion estimate from the slower laser Doppler flow...
