Automated Cognitive Health Assessment From Smart Home-Based Behavior Data.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Smart home technologies offer potential benefits for assisting clinicians by automating health monitoring and well-being assessment. In this paper, we examine the actual benefits of smart home-based analysis by monitoring daily behavior in the home a...

An Automated and Intelligent Medical Decision Support System for Brain MRI Scans Classification.

PloS one
A wide interest has been observed in the medical health care applications that interpret neuroimaging scans by machine learning systems. This research proposes an intelligent, automatic, accurate, and robust classification technique to classify the h...

Fall Down Detection Under Smart Home System.

Journal of medical systems
Medical technology makes an inevitable trend for the elderly population, therefore the intelligent home care is an important direction for science and technology development, in particular, elderly in-home safety management issues become more and mor...

Risk factor detection for heart disease by applying text analytics in electronic medical records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In the United States, about 600,000 people die of heart disease every year. The annual cost of care services, medications, and lost productivity reportedly exceeds 108.9 billion dollars. Effective disease risk assessment is critical to prevention, ca...

Robotic distal pancreatectomy versus conventional laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy: a comparative study for short-term outcomes.

Frontiers of medicine
Robotic system has been increasingly used in pancreatectomy. However, the effectiveness of this method remains uncertain. This study compared the surgical outcomes between robot-assisted laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and conventional laparoscopi...

Robot-assisted primary cementless total hip arthroplasty with a short femoral stem: a prospective randomized short-term outcome study.

Computer aided surgery : official journal of the International Society for Computer Aided Surgery
BACKGROUND: Recently, two topical issues in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been robot-assisted surgery and use of a short stem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of robotic milling on the accuracy of short femoral stem position...

Effect of an interactive therapeutic robotic animal on engagement, mood states, agitation and psychotropic drug use in people with dementia: a cluster-randomised controlled trial protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Apathy, agitated behaviours, loneliness and depression are common consequences of dementia. This trial aims to evaluate the effect of a robotic animal on behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia in people with dementia living ...

Clinical usefulness and validity of robotic measures of reaching movement in hemiparetic stroke patients.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Various robotic technologies have been developed recently for objective and quantitative assessment of movement. Among them, robotic measures derived from a reaching task in the KINARM Exoskeleton device are characterized by their potenti...

A novel method for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease based on pseudo Zernike moment from structural MRI.

Neuroscience
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common type of dementia among older people. The number of patients with AD will grow rapidly each year and AD is the fifth leading cause of death for those aged 65 and ...

Real-time prediction of inpatient length of stay for discharge prioritization.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Hospitals are challenged to provide timely patient care while maintaining high resource utilization. This has prompted hospital initiatives to increase patient flow and minimize nonvalue added care time. Real-time demand capacity managemen...
