Towards soft robotic devices for site-specific drug delivery.

Expert review of medical devices
Considerable research efforts have recently been dedicated to the establishment of various drug delivery systems (DDS) that are mechanical/physical, chemical and biological/molecular DDS. In this paper, we report on the recent advances in site-specif...

"Body-In-The-Loop": Optimizing Device Parameters Using Measures of Instantaneous Energetic Cost.

PloS one
This paper demonstrates methods for the online optimization of assistive robotic devices such as powered prostheses, orthoses and exoskeletons. Our algorithms estimate the value of a physiological objective in real-time (with a body "in-the-loop") an...

An ontology-based annotation of cardiac implantable electronic devices to detect therapy changes in a national registry.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The patient population benefitting from cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing. This study introduces a device annotation method that supports the consistent description of the functional attributes of cardiac devices and evalua...

Electroforming of implantable tubular magnetic microrobots for wireless ophthalmologic applications.

Advanced healthcare materials
Magnetic tubular implantable micro-robots are batch fabricated by electroforming. These microdevices can be used in targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery for ophthalmologic applications. These tubular shapes are fitted into a 23-gauge...

AI-driven optimization of spinal implant design using parametric modelling.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces
This study aimed to enhance vertebral implant design by using a parametric spine model and advanced simulation techniques to evaluate biomechanical behaviours under dynamic physiological conditions using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS Workben...

Comprehensive Prediction of the Relative Modulus of Strut-Based Gyroid Lattice Structures Employing an ML-Based Surrogate Model.

Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
Due to its porous structure, tunable properties, and nearly isotropic characteristics, the Gyroid Lattice Structure (GLS) is widely utilized in orthopedic implant applications. To effectively reduce stress shielding and enhance implant longevity, it ...

Treatment of neuropathic pain after brachial plexus injury by implantable wireless charging flexible micro-LED array.

Optics express
Total brachial plexus injuries (TBPI) caused by trauma often inflict unbearable pain on patients. However, there is still a lack of effective treatment strategies for these conditions. Optogenetics, as an emerging interdisciplinary field, can bridge ...

FedAssist: Federated Learning in AI-Powered Prosthetics for Sustainable and Collaborative Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper explores the integration of federated learning in developing deep learning-powered surface electromyography decoding methods for AI-controlled prosthetics. Our proposed FL framework, FedAssist, aims to preserve data ownership while fosteri...
