A novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological heart murmurs.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper presents a novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological murmurs using the growing time support vector machine (GTSVM). The proposed method is tailored for characterizing innocent murmurs (IM) by putting more emphasis o...

Effectiveness of social behaviors for autonomous wheelchair robot to support elderly people in Japan.

PloS one
We developed a wheelchair robot to support the movement of elderly people and specifically implemented two functions to enhance their intention to use it: speaking behavior to convey place/location related information and speed adjustment based on in...

What Was (Also) at Stake When a Robot Bathtub Was Implemented in a Danish Elder Center: A Constructivist Secondary Qualitative Analysis.

Qualitative health research
Assistive technologies are often considered to be passive tools implemented in targeted processes. Our previous study of the implementation of the robot bathtub in a Danish elder center suggested that purposeful rationality was not the only issue at ...

Robotic-Assisted Ureteral Re-implantation: A Case Series.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive surgical techniques are currently used for numerous urologic disorders and generally offer decreased morbidity and equivalent outcomes compared with open surgery. There is a relative paucity of data on robot-assisted ...

Feature Selection Based on the SVM Weight Vector for Classification of Dementia.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Computer-aided diagnosis of dementia using a support vector machine (SVM) can be improved with feature selection. The relevance of individual features can be quantified from the SVM weights as a significance map (p-map). Although these p-maps previou...

Surgical and oncological outcome of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopic and abdominal surgery in the management of endometrial cancer.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
OBJECTIVE: To compare different techniques of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy and robotics) to abdominal surgery in order to identify the optimal surgical technique in the treatment of endometrial cancer.

Could machine learning improve the prediction of pelvic nodal status of prostate cancer patients? Preliminary results of a pilot study.

Cancer investigation
We tested and compared performances of Roach formula, Partin tables and of three Machine Learning (ML) based algorithms based on decision trees in identifying N+ prostate cancer (PC). 1,555 cN0 and 50 cN+ PC were analyzed. Results were also verified ...

Acceptability and usability of a telepresence robot for geriatric primary care: A pilot.

Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.)
The dual challenge of increasing numbers of older adults and overall increases in those with some form of insurance is driving the need to develop and evaluate novel methods of primary care delivery such as telehealth. The goal of this study was to e...
