Counteracting Electrode Shifts in Upper-Limb Prosthesis Control via Transfer Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Research on machine learning approaches for upper-limb prosthesis control has shown impressive progress. However, translating these results from the lab to patient's everyday lives remains a challenge because advanced control schemes tend to break do...

Robot for health data acquisition among older adults: a pilot randomised controlled cross-over trial.

BMJ quality & safety
BACKGROUND /OBJECTIVES: Healthcare professionals (HCP) are confronted with an increased demand for assessments of important health status measures, such as patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM), and the time this requires. The aim of this stud...

A robotic shower system : Acceptance and ethical issues.

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: Being able to maintain personal hygiene plays a crucial role for independent living in old age or when suffering from disabilities. Within the European project ICT Supported Bath Robots (I‑SUPPORT) an intelligent robotic shower system is ...

A pilot study exploring staff acceptability of a socially assistive robot in a residential care facility that accommodates people under 65 years old.

International psychogeriatrics
ABSTRACTSocially assistive robots have successfully been trialed in residential care facilities (RCFs) for older adults. These robots may have potential for younger adults (i.e. under 65 years old) who also live in RCFs. However, it is important to i...

Machine Learning for Predicting Patient Wait Times and Appointment Delays.

Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR
Being able to accurately predict waiting times and scheduled appointment delays can increase patient satisfaction and enable staff members to more accurately assess and respond to patient flow. In this work, the authors studied the applicability of m...

Evaluation of a companion robot based on field tests with single older adults in their homes.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The growing number of older adults places insurmountable load on family members and professional caregivers. Assistive technology with the aid of robots can present a possible solution. The goal of this article was to test a companion robot supportin...

User-Centric Feedback for the Development and Review of a Unique Robotic Glove Prototype to Be Used in Therapy.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Disability can be a great impediment to daily living in later life and is often the result of illness or trauma. Modern thoughts on treatment are orientated towards the use of robotics; however, these are often designed without consultation with the ...

Portable and Reconfigurable Wrist Robot Improves Hand Function for Post-Stroke Subjects.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Rehabilitation robots have become increasingly popular for stroke rehabilitation. However, the high cost of robots hampers their implementation on a large scale. This paper implements the concept of a modular and reconfigurable robot, reducing its co...

Understanding patient satisfaction with received healthcare services: A natural language processing approach.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Important information is encoded in free-text patient comments. We determine the most common topics in patient comments, design automatic topic classifiers, identify comments ' sentiment, and find new topics in negative comments. Our annotation schem...

Ambient intelligence framework for real-time speech-to-sign translation.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Sign language can be used to facilitate communication with and between deaf or hard of hearing (Deaf/HH). With the advent of video streaming applications in smart TVs and mobile devices, it is now possible to use sign language to communicate over wor...
