Research with controlled or crossover designs in animal-assisted therapy have largely used control groups receiving no treatment or treatment as usual, which can potentially inflate the effects of these interventions. It is therefore not always clear...
AIMS: To synthesise the current research on long-term care workers' perceptions (i.e., attitudes, concerns, and expected functions) of robot-assisted care and their perceived effects of different types of robot-assisted care for older adults in long-...
BACKGROUND: Technology can be an effective tool for providing health services and disease self-management, especially in diabetes care. Technology tools for disease self-management include health-related applications for computers and smartphones as ...
Cell transplantation is a promising approach for addressing neurodegenerative conditions. In this study, we developed a robot-assisted stereotactic microinjection system for transplanting cells. We evaluated the factors that affect cellular graft via...
Viewing artificial objects and images that are designed to appear human can elicit a sense of unease, referred to as the 'uncanny valley' effect. Here we investigate neural correlates of the uncanny valley, using still images of androids (robots desi...

Adequate access to radiotherapy is a critical global concern affecting low-resource settings such as low- and middle-income countries and rural regions. We propose to reduce this disparity by developing a novel low-cost radiotherapy device that treat...
In this study we present an approach for optimizing protein crystallization trials at the multi-microliter scale utilizing the Opentrons-2 liquid handling robot. Our research demonstrates the robot's capability to automate 24-well sitting drop protei...
Multimodal phototheranostics utilizing single molecules offer a "one-and-done" approach, presenting a convenient and effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, therapies based on conventional photosensitizers often suffer from limitations such a...
