BACKGROUND: Digital health interventions can fill gaps in mental healthcare provision. However, autonomous e-mental health (AEMH) systems also present challenges for effective risk management. To balance autonomy and safety, AEMH systems need to dete...
Soft robotic hand/gloves for hand rehabilitation can aid the performance of activities of daily living (ADL). Although existing soft robotic hands can assist with finger flexion, few have addressed finger extension, which is a challenging task for st...
BACKGROUND: No data exist on comparisons of efficacy, safety, and recurrence risk factors of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using robotic magnetic navigation system (MNS), respectively.
By controlling robots comparable to the human body, people with profound motor deficits could potentially perform a variety of physical tasks for themselves, improving their quality of life. The extent to which this is achievable has been unclear due...
