Acceptability and Preliminary Results of Technology-Assisted Balance Training in Parkinson's Disease.

International journal of environmental research and public health
(1) Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most common causes of disability among older individuals. The advanced stages of PD are usually characterized by postural instability and, as a consequence, falls. Those are among the main factor...

Intelligent assistive technology devices for persons with dementia: A scoping review.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Assistive technology (AT) with context-aware computing and artificial intelligence capabilities can be applied to address cognitive and communication impairments experienced by persons with dementia (PwD). This paper aims to provide an overview of cu...

Eye-gaze control of a wheelchair mounted 6DOF assistive robot for activities of daily living.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Building control architecture that balances the assistive manipulation systems with the benefits of direct human control is a crucial challenge of human-robot collaboration. It promises to help people with disabilities more efficiently co...

Learning to teleoperate an upper-limb assistive humanoid robot for bimanual daily-living tasks.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Bimanual humanoid platforms for home assistance are nowadays available, both as academic prototypes and commercially. Although they are usually thought of as daily helpers for non-disabled users, their ability to move around, together with their dext...

Artificial Intelligence Assistive Technology in Hospital Professional Nursing Technology.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Global aging is becoming more and more serious, and the nursing problems of the elderly will become very serious in the future. The article designs a control system with ATmega128 as the main controller based on the function of the multifunctional nu...

Effect of deep learning-based assistive technology use on chest radiograph interpretation by emergency department physicians: a prospective interventional simulation-based study.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Interpretation of chest radiographs (CRs) by emergency department (ED) physicians is inferior to that by radiologists. Recent studies have investigated the effect of deep learning-based assistive technology on CR interpretation (DLCR), al...

MotorSkins-a bio-inspired design approach towards an interactive soft-robotic exosuit.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The work presents a bio-inspired design approach to a soft-robotic solution for assisting the knee-bending in users with reduced mobility in lower limbs. Exosuits and fluid-driven actuators are fabric-based devices that are gaining increasing relevan...

Designing Acceptable Robots for Assisting Older Adults: A Pilot Study on the Willingness to Interact.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The aim of this paper was to explore the psychosocial determinants that lead to acceptability and willingness to interact with a service robot, starting with an analysis of older users' behaviors toward the Robot-Era platform, in order to provide str...

Maximizing the Benefits of Participatory Design for Human-Robot Interaction Research With Older Adults.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: We reviewed human-robot interaction (HRI) participatory design (PD) research with older adults. The goal was to identify methods used, determine their value for design of robots with older adults, and provide guidance for best practices.

Design and Experimental Characterization of L-CADEL v2, an Assistive Device for Elbow Motion.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
An experimental characterization is presented for an improved version of a wearable assistive device for elbow motion. The design is revised with respect to requirements for elbow motion assistance, looking at applications both in rehabilitation ther...
