In this study, we propose a strategy for delicately grasping fragile objects using a robotic gripper with highly deformable fluid fingertips. In an earlier study, we developed a soft fingertip, referred to as a fluid fingertip, which was fabricated f...

BACKGROUND: Existing resources to assist the diagnosis of rare diseases are usually curated from the literature that can be limited for clinical use. It often takes substantial effort before the suspicion of a rare disease is even raised to utilize t...
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a national public health crisis and a critical patient safety issue. It is the 10th leading cause of death overall and the second leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults (15-34 years old). Research shows 80% o...
Time-dependent data collected in studies of Alzheimer's disease usually has missing and irregularly sampled data points. For this reason time series methods which assume regular sampling cannot be applied directly to the data without a pre-processing...

Pressure ulcer prevention is a vital procedure for patients undergoing long-term hospitalization. A human body lying posture (HBLP) monitoring system is essential to reschedule posture change for patients. Video surveillance, the conventional method ...
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a quantitative imaging technique that can simultaneously measure multiple important tissue properties of human body. Although MRF has demonstrated improved scan efficiency as compared to conventional techniq...

Accurate profiling of tumors using immunohistochemistry (IHC) is essential in cancer diagnosis. The inferences drawn from IHC-stained images depend to a great extent on the quality of immunostaining, which is in turn affected strongly by assay parame...
Weakly-supervised learning based on, e.g., partially labelled images or image-tags, is currently attracting significant attention in CNN segmentation as it can mitigate the need for full and laborious pixel/voxel annotations. Enforcing high-order (gl...
