PURPOSE: Lack of confidence in suturing/ligature skills due to insufficient practices and assessments was common among novice Chinese medical interns. This study aims to improve the skill acquisition of medical interns with new interventional program...
BACKGROUND: Intelligent decision support systems (IDSS) have been applied to tasks of disease management. Deep neural networks (DNNs) are artificial intelligent techniques to achieve high modeling power. The application of DNNs to large-scale data fo...
BACKGROUND: With global aging, robots are considered a promising solution for handling the shortage of aged care and companionships. However, these technologies would serve little purpose if their intended users do not accept them. While the socioemo...
