Individuals with tetraplegia have a challenging life due to a lack of independence and autonomy. Assistive robots have the potential to assist with the activities of daily living and thus improve the quality of life. However, an efficient and reliabl...
Gait disorders represent one of the most disabling aspects in multiple sclerosis (MS) that strongly influence patient quality of life. The improvement of walking ability is a primary goal for rehabilitation treatment. The aim of this study is to eva...
Brain tumors are among the most serious cancers that can have a negative impact on a person's quality of life. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis detects abnormal cell growth in the skull. Recently, machine learning models such as artifici...
Assistant devices such as meal-assist robots aid individuals with disabilities and support the elderly in performing daily activities. However, existing meal-assist robots are inconvenient to operate due to non-intuitive user interfaces, requiring ad...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Most nutritional assessment tools are based on pre-defined questionnaires or consensus guidelines. However, it has been postulated that population data can be used directly to develop a solution for assessing malnutrition. This s...
