ValveTech: A Novel Robotic Approach for Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Aortic valve disease is the most common heart disease in the elderly calling for replacement with an artificial valve. The presented surgical robot aims to provide a highly controllable instrument for efficient delivery of an artificial va...

Integrating human services and criminal justice data with claims data to predict risk of opioid overdose among Medicaid beneficiaries: A machine-learning approach.

PloS one
Health system data incompletely capture the social risk factors for drug overdose. This study aimed to improve the accuracy of a machine-learning algorithm to predict opioid overdose risk by integrating human services and criminal justice data with h...

Socially Assistive Robots in Aged Care: Ethical Orientations Beyond the Care-Romantic and Technology-Deterministic Gaze.

Science and engineering ethics
Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) are increasingly conceived as applicable tools to be used in aged care. However, the use carries many negative and positive connotations. Negative connotations come forth out of romanticized views of care practices, d...

HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN): telerehabilitation using an unactuated device based on serious games improves the upper limb function in chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN) is an unactuated version of the robotic device ArmAssist combined with a telecare platform. Stroke patients are able to train the upper limb function using serious games at home. The aim of this study ...

Application of artificial intelligence-based computer-assisted diagnosis on synthetic mammograms from breast tomosynthesis: comparison with digital mammograms.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic agreement and performances of synthetic and conventional mammograms when artificial intelligence-based computer-assisted diagnosis (AI-CAD) is applied.

NT-FDS-A Noise Tolerant Fall Detection System Using Deep Learning on Wearable Devices.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Given the high prevalence and detrimental effects of unintentional falls in the elderly, fall detection has become a pertinent public concern. A Fall Detection System (FDS) gathers information from sensors to distinguish falls from routine activities...

Prediction of tau accumulation in prodromal Alzheimer's disease using an ensemble machine learning approach.

Scientific reports
We developed machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict abnormal tau accumulation among patients with prodromal AD. We recruited 64 patients with prodromal AD using the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset. Supervised ML approa...
