Predicting Nondiagnostic Home Sleep Apnea Tests Using Machine Learning.

Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) is an efficient and cost-effective method of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, nondiagnostic HSAT necessitates additional tests that erode these benefits, delaying diagnoses and incre...

Robotic Implementation of the Necessary Mechanism for the Human Characteristics Simulation: Approach from Self-Care Conceptual Modeling.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The vertiginous development of robotics, as part of the Artificial Intelligence, is currently raising its potential from the point of view of care. The purpose of the present article is the robotic implementation of a logical sequence model of the ph...

A Multi-Technique Reconfigurable Electrochemical Biosensor: Enabling Personal Health Monitoring in Mobile Devices.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
This paper describes the design and characterization of a reconfigurable, multi-technique electrochemical biosensor designed for direct integration into smartphone and wearable technologies to enable remote and accurate personal health monitoring. By...

Utilization of Communication Robot in Patient Education.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In Japan, the population is expected to decrease. Moreover, the proportion of elderly people living alone among the elderly population is expected to increase for both men and women. Therefore, the demand for elderly care is increasing year by year. ...

Robotic Assistance in Medication Management: Development and Evaluation of a Prototype.

Studies in health technology and informatics
An increasing number of elderly people and the prevalence of multimorbid conditions often lead to age-related problems for patients in handling their common polypharmaceutical, domestic everyday medication. Ambient Assisted Living therefore provides ...

Assessment of Haptic Interaction for Home-Based Physical Tele-Therapy using Wearable Devices and Depth Sensors.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper a prototype system is presented for home-based physical tele-therapy using a wearable device for haptic feedback. The haptic feedback is generated as a sequence of vibratory cues from 8 vibrator motors equally spaced along an elastic we...

Communication Robots for Elderly People and Their Families to Support Their Daily Lives - Case Study of Two Families Living with the Communicaton Robot.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The aim of this project is to analyze how two families (one is living with a senior with physical disabilities and the other is living with seniors) feel about using the human-type communication robot "Palro" and what they demand for the improvement ...

Human Activity Recognition from Smart-Phone Sensor Data using a Multi-Class Ensemble Learning in Home Monitoring.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Home monitoring of chronically ill or elderly patient can reduce frequent hospitalisations and hence provide improved quality of care at a reduced cost to the community, therefore reducing the burden on the healthcare system. Activity recognition of ...
