The Atlantic divide: contrasting surgical robotics training in the USA, UK and Ireland.

Journal of robotic surgery
The uptake of robotic surgery is rapidly increasing worldwide across surgical specialties. However, there is currently a much higher use of robotic surgery in the United States of America (USA) compared to the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. Reduced...

Preliminary Classification of Selected Farmland Habitats in Ireland Using Deep Neural Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ireland has a wide variety of farmlands that includes arable fields, grassland, hedgerows, streams, lakes, rivers, and native woodlands. Traditional methods of habitat identification rely on field surveys, which are resource intensive, therefore ther...

Artificial Intelligence: the future of medicine, or an overhyped and dangerous idea?

Irish journal of medical science
INTRODUCTION: Contemporary discourse on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine is oft-sensationalised to the point of bearing no resemblance to its everyday impact and potential - either to proselytise it as a saviour or to condemn its perilous, am...

Artificial intelligence: The opinions of radiographers and radiation therapists in Ireland.

Radiography (London, England : 1995)
INTRODUCTION: Implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into medical imaging is much debated. Diagnostic Radiographers (DRs) and Radiation Therapists (RTTs) are at the forefront of this technological leap, thus an understanding of their views, i...

Home-care robots - Attitudes and perceptions among older people, carers and care professionals in Ireland: A questionnaire study.

Health & social care in the community
Many countries face major challenges to ensure that their health and social care systems are ready for the growing numbers of older people (OP). As a way of realising ageing in place, assistive technologies such as home-care robots are expected to pl...

The Perceptions of People with Dementia and Key Stakeholders Regarding the Use and Impact of the Social Robot MARIO.

International journal of environmental research and public health
People with dementia often experience loneliness and social isolation. This can result in increased cognitive decline which, in turn, has a negative impact on quality of life. This paper explores the use of the social robot, MARIO, with older people ...

A machine-learning algorithm for neonatal seizure recognition: a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial.

The Lancet. Child & adolescent health
BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of continuous conventional electroencephalography (cEEG), accurate diagnosis of neonatal seizures is challenging in clinical practice. Algorithms for decision support in the recognition of neonatal seizures could ...

Prediction of caregiver burden in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a machine learning approach using random forests applied to a cohort study.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurodegenerative disease that is characterised by the rapid degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons and has a fatal trajectory 3-4 years from symptom onset. Due to the nature of the con...

Using machine learning to estimate herbage production and nutrient uptake on Irish dairy farms.

Journal of dairy science
Nutrient management on grazed grasslands is of critical importance to maintain productivity levels, as grass is the cheapest feed for ruminants and underpins these meat and milk production systems. Many attempts have been made to model the relationsh...
