We propose an ambulation assessment platform in healthcare that employs a deep neural network for body/head detection and further recognizes the position, postures, and motion of a person in a video stream. To achieve this, we: (i) find the head's 3D...
In hospitals, timely interventions can prevent avoidable clinical deterioration. Early recognition of deterioration is vital to stopping further decline. Measuring the way patients position themselves in bed and change their positions may signal when...
Sleep posture is a key factor in assessing sleep quality, especially for individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), where the sleeping position directly affects breathing patterns: the side position alleviates symptoms, while the supine position...
BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...

During transfer tasks, the dual-arm nursing-care robot require a human-robot mechanics model to determine the balance region to support the patient safely and stably. Previous studies utilized human-robot two-dimensional static equilibrium models, ig...
PURPOSE: This exploratory study introduces a portable, wearable device using a single accelerometer to monitor twelve sleep positions. Targeted for home use, the device aims to assist patients with mild conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux dise...
A transverse ledge brachiation robot is designed to move transversely along a ledge on a vertical wall by generating energy from the swinging motion of its lower limbs. This method reduces the force required by the upper limbs to propel the robot for...

Recovering whole-body mesh by inferring the abstract pose and shape parameters from visual content can obtain 3D bodies with realistic structures. However, the inferring process is highly non-linear and suffers from image-mesh misalignment, resulting...
