Challenges of Developing a Natural Language Processing Method With Electronic Health Records to Identify Persons With Chronic Mobility Disability.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of applying natural language processing (NLP) to electronic health records (EHRs) to identify individuals with chronic mobility disability.

The Digital Health Revolution and People with Disabilities: Perspective from the United States.

International journal of environmental research and public health
This article serves as the introduction to this special issue on Mobile Health and Mobile Rehabilitation for People with Disabilities. Social, technological and policy trends are reviewed. Needs, opportunities and challenges for the emerging fields o...

Development of a Data Logger for Capturing Human-Machine Interaction in Wheelchair Head-Foot Steering Sensor System in Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The use of data logging systems for capturing wheelchair and user behavior has increased rapidly over the past few years. Wheelchairs ensure more independent mobility and better quality of life for people with motor disabilities. Especially, for peop...

Sensor Technologies for Caring People with Disabilities.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Today, the population uses technology for every daily activity involving business, education, communication, entertainment, etc. Technology may also help us to take care of people who suffer some kind of disability. Complex technological ecosystems w...

Proof of Concept of an Assistive Robotic Arm Control Using Artificial Stereovision and Eye-Tracking.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Assistive robotic arms have become popular to help users with upper limb disabilities achieve autonomy in their daily tasks, such as drinking and grasping objects in general. Usually, these robotic arms are controlled with an adapted joystick. Joysti...

A system for bedside assistance that integrates a robotic bed and a mobile manipulator.

PloS one
Various situations, such as injuries or long-term disabilities, can result in people receiving physical assistance while in bed. We present a robotic system for bedside assistance that consists of a robotic bed and a mobile manipulator (i.e., a wheel...

A review of cable-driven rehabilitation devices.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
To conduct a survey on the research and development of cable-driven rehabilitation devices (CDRDs). This review searches in the databases of PubMed, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using various combinations of the f...

A review of computer vision for semi-autonomous control of assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs).

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The advances in artificial intelligence have started to reach a level where autonomous systems are becoming increasingly popular as a way to aid people in their everyday life. Such intelligent systems may especially be beneficially for people strugg...

Over-ground walking or robot-assisted gait training in people with .multiple sclerosis: does the effect depend on baseline walking speed and disease related disabilities? A systematic review and meta-regression.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: It was suggested that robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) should not be routinely provided to disabled patients in place of conventional over-ground walking training (CGT). There exist several randomised controlled trials reporting on RAG...

In-home and remote use of robotic body surrogates by people with profound motor deficits.

PloS one
By controlling robots comparable to the human body, people with profound motor deficits could potentially perform a variety of physical tasks for themselves, improving their quality of life. The extent to which this is achievable has been unclear due...
