Australasian journal on ageing
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to explore the feasibility of using telepresence robots to encourage interactive communication in dementia care, from the perspective of family carers.

Machine learning identifies unaffected first-degree relatives with functional network patterns and cognitive impairment similar to those of schizophrenia patients.

Human brain mapping
Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients and their unaffected first-degree relatives (FDRs) share similar functional neuroanatomy. However, it remains largely unknown to what extent unaffected FDRs with functional neuroanatomy patterns similar to patients can be...

Child and parent perceptions of acceptability and therapeutic value of a socially assistive robot used during pediatric rehabilitation.

Disability and rehabilitation
Socially assistive robots are emerging as a method of supporting the rehabilitation of children with physical disabilities. To date there has been no in-depth analysis of parent and child perspectives regarding the use of socially assistive robots f...

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants in Northern Tanzania and their distribution between breast milk, maternal blood, placenta and cord blood.

Environmental research
Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begins during pregnancy and may cause adverse health effects in the fetus or later in life. The present study aimed to assess prenatal POPs exposure to Tanzanian infants and evaluate the distribu...

Cross-Generation Kinship Verification with Sparse Discriminative Metric.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Kinship verification is a very important technique in many real-world applications, e.g., personal album organization, missing person investigation and forensic analysis. However, it is extremely difficult to verify a family pair with generation gap,...

Visual Kinship Recognition of Families in the Wild.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
We present the largest database for visual kinship recognition, Families In the Wild (FIW), with over 13,000 family photos of 1,000 family trees with 4-to-38 members. It took only a small team to build FIW with efficient labeling tools and work-flow....

A New Remote Health-Care System Based on Moving Robot Intended for the Elderly at Home.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Nowadays, due to the growing need for remote care and the constantly increasing popularity of mobile devices, a large amount of mobile applications for remote care support has been developed. Although mobile phones are very suitable for young people,...
