Brief Report: Evaluation of an Intelligent Learning Environment for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
Researchers are increasingly attempting to develop and apply innovative technological platforms for early detection and intervention of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This pilot study designed and evaluated a novel technologically-mediated intellige...

Robot-assistant for MRI-guided liver ablation: A pilot study.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Percutaneous ablation under MRI-guidance allows treating otherwise inoperable liver tumors locally using a catheter probe. However, manually placing the probe is an error-prone and time consuming task that requires a considerable amount of t...

The Feasibility of a Completely Automated Total IV Anesthesia Drug Delivery System for Cardiac Surgery.

Anesthesia and analgesia
BACKGROUND: In this pilot study, we tested a novel automatic anesthesia system for closed-loop administration of IV anesthesia drugs for cardiac surgical procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass. This anesthesia drug delivery robot integrates all 3 com...

Nasal irrigation with NasirĀ® in children: a preliminary experience on nasal cytology.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents
Allergic rhinitis (AR) and upper airway respiratory infections are frequent in children, and both have a relevant impact on some social aspects, including school attendance and performance, sleep, quality of life (also of the parents), and costs. Sal...

Robotic Assistance in Medication Management: Development and Evaluation of a Prototype.

Studies in health technology and informatics
An increasing number of elderly people and the prevalence of multimorbid conditions often lead to age-related problems for patients in handling their common polypharmaceutical, domestic everyday medication. Ambient Assisted Living therefore provides ...

Assessment of Haptic Interaction for Home-Based Physical Tele-Therapy using Wearable Devices and Depth Sensors.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper a prototype system is presented for home-based physical tele-therapy using a wearable device for haptic feedback. The haptic feedback is generated as a sequence of vibratory cues from 8 vibrator motors equally spaced along an elastic we...

Non-invasive brain stimulation and robot-assisted gait training after incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized pilot study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Locomotor training with a robot-assisted gait orthosis (LT-RGO) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are interventions that can significantly enhance motor performance after spinal cord injury (SCI). No studies have investig...

Tailor-made rehabilitation approach using multiple types of hybrid assistive limb robots for acute stroke patients: A pilot study.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
This article investigated the feasibility of a tailor-made neurorehabilitation approach using multiple types of hybrid assistive limb (HAL) robots for acute stroke patients. We investigated the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent rehabilitati...
