Machine learning for improved medical device management: A focus on defibrillator performance.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BackgroundPoorly regulated and insufficiently maintained medical devices (MDs) carry high risk on safety and performance parameters impacting the clinical effectiveness and efficiency of patient diagnosis and treatment. After the MD directive (MDD) h...

Multi-Level-Phase Deep Learning Using Divide-and-Conquer for Scaffolding Safety.

International journal of environmental research and public health
A traditional structural analysis of scaffolding structures requires loading conditions that are only possible during design, but not in operation. Thus, this study proposes a method that can be used during operation to make an automated safety predi...

Design and control of a MRI-compatible pneumatic needle puncture robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Percutaneous needle puncture operation is widely used in the image-guided interventions, including biopsy and ablation. MRI guidance has the advantages of high-resolution soft tissue imaging and thermal monitoring during energy-based ablation. This p...

Identification of a closed cutaneous injury after mechanical trauma caused by collision.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
PURPOSE: Robotics has evolved rapidly in terms of mechanical design and control in the past few years. Collaborative robots that have direct contact with humans are being introduced in various fields, including industrial and medical services. Becaus...

Newborn self-inflating manual resuscitators: precision robotic testing of safety and reliability.

Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition
AIM: A controlled bench test was undertaken to determine the performance variability among a range of neonatal self-inflating bags (SIB) compliant with current International Standards Organisation (ISO).

A new approach for safe planning transfer using semi-automatically adjustable instrument guides.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Accurate planning transfer is a prerequisite for successful operative care. For different applications, diverse computer-assisted systems have been developed and clinically evaluated. This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a new mod...

Design of a new haptic device and experiments in minimally invasive surgical robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
In this paper, we designed a 8 degrees of freedom (DOFs) haptic device for applications in minimally invasive surgical robot. The device can provide three translational, three rotational and a grasping motion and force feedback capability. It is comp...
