Miniaturized soft bio-hybrid robotics: a step forward into healthcare applications.

Lab on a chip
Soft robotics is an emerging discipline that employs soft flexible materials such as fluids, gels and elastomers in order to enhance the use of robotics in healthcare applications. Compared to their rigid counterparts, soft robotic systems have flexi...

Service innovation through social robot engagement to improve dementia care quality.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Assistive technologies, such as robots, have proven to be useful in a social context and to improve the quality of life for people with dementia (PwD). This study aims to show how the engagement between two social robots and PwD in Australian residen...

Interoperability between phenotypes in research and healthcare terminologies--Investigating partial mappings between HPO and SNOMED CT.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Identifying partial mappings between two terminologies is of special importance when one terminology is finer-grained than the other, as is the case for the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), mainly used for research purposes, and SNOMED CT,...

Specification of an integrated information architecture for a mobile teleoperated robot for home telecare.

Informatics for health & social care
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to design effectively integrated information architecture for a mobile teleoperated robot in remote assistance to the delivery of home health care.

A Systematic Literature Review of Agents Applied in Healthcare.

Journal of medical systems
Intelligent agents and healthcare have been intimately linked in the last years. The intrinsic complexity and diversity of care can be tackled with the flexibility, dynamics and reliability of multi-agent systems. The purpose of this review is to sho...

When Should We Use Care Robots? The Nature-of-Activities Approach.

Science and engineering ethics
When should we use care robots? In this paper we endorse the shift from a simple normative approach to care robots ethics to a complex one: we think that one main task of a care robot ethics is that of analysing the different ways in which different ...

Using the Knowledge Base of Health Services Research to Redefine Health Care Systems.

Journal of general internal medicine
This Perspective discusses 12 key facts derived from 50 years of health services research and argues that this knowledge base can stimulate innovative thinking about how to make health care systems safer, more efficient, more cost effective, and more...

Knowledge bases, clinical decision support systems, and rapid learning in oncology.

Journal of oncology practice
One of the most important benefits of health information technology is to assist the cognitive process of the human mind in the face of vast amounts of health data, limited time for decision making, and the complexity of the patient with cancer. Clin...

A lane-level LBS system for vehicle network with high-precision BDS/GPS positioning.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
In recent years, research on vehicle network location service has begun to focus on its intelligence and precision. The accuracy of space-time information has become a core factor for vehicle network systems in a mobile environment. However, difficul...
