Predicting Pressure Injury in Critical Care Patients: A Machine-Learning Model.

American journal of critical care : an official publication, American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired pressure injuries are a serious problem among critical care patients. Some can be prevented by using measures such as specialty beds, which are not feasible for every patient because of costs. However, decisions about wh...

Quantifying the human-robot interaction forces between a lower limb exoskeleton and healthy users.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To counter the many disadvantages of prolonged wheelchair use, patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are beginning to turn towards robotic exoskeletons. However, we are currently unaware of the magnitude and distribution of forces acting between t...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of exogenous recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) on the healing of muscles in rats after deep tissue injury of pressure ulcers.

Body posture recognition and turning recording system for the care of bed bound patients.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
This paper proposes body posture recognition and turning recording system for assisting the care of bed bound patients in nursing homes. The system continuously detects the patient's body posture and records the length of time for each body posture. ...
