Psychological constructs, such as emotions, thoughts, and attitudes are often measured by asking individuals to reply to questions using closed-ended numerical rating scales. However, when asking people about their state of mind in a natural context ...
BACKGROUND: Pump speed optimization in patients implanted with a ventricular assist device represents a major challenge during the follow-up period. We present our findings on whether combined invasive hemodynamic ramp tests and cardiopulmonary exerc...
Close monitoring of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is important for early recognition of worsening renal function to prevent further deterioration. Safe conversion from twice-daily tacrolimus (TD-Tac) to once-daily tacrolimus (OD-Tac) ha...
While assistive robots receive growing attention as a potential solution to support older adults to live independently, several scholars question the underlying social, ethical and health policy assumptions. One perplexing issue is determining whethe...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure constitutes a high burden on patients and society, but although lifetime risk is high, it is difficult to predict without costly or invasive testing. We aimed to establish new risk factors of heart failure, which potentially...
OBJECTIVE: To compare performances in diagnosing intertrochanteric hip fractures from proximal femoral radiographs between a convolutional neural network and orthopedic surgeons.
Sleep apnea-hypopnea event detection has been widely studied using various biosignals and algorithms. However, most minute-by-minute analysis techniques have difficulty detecting accurate event start/end positions. Furthermore, they require hand-engi...
