OBJECTIVES: Maintenance of oral muscle functions is important for survival and communication. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a self-health-management material has shown promise. Here we developed a functional and AI-enabled smartphone e-Or...
The human tongue has been long believed to be a window to provide important insights into a patient's health in medicine. The present study introduced a novel approach to predict patient age, gender, and weight inferences based on tongue images using...
BACKGROUND: As an important part of the tongue, the tongue coating is closely associated with different disorders and has major diagnostic benefits. This study aims to construct a neural network model that can perform complex tongue coating segmentat...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models using drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) images to predict the therapeutic efficacy of hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HGNS) implantation.
The study aimed to achieve the following objectives: (1) to perform the fusion of thermal and visible tongue images with various fusion rules of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to classify diabetes and normal subjects; (2) to obtain the statistical ...
The Wearable Robotic Limb (WRL) is a type of robotic arm worn on the human body, aiming to enhance the wearer's operational capabilities. However, proposing additional methods to control and perceive the WRL when human limbs are heavily occupied with...
Portable and personalized artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sensors mimicking human olfactory and gustatory systems have immense potential for the large-scale deployment and autonomous monitoring systems of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In this...

PURPOSE: Motor neuron disease (MND) causes damage to the upper and lower motor neurons including the motor cranial nerves, the latter resulting in bulbar involvement with atrophy of the tongue muscle. To measure tongue atrophy, an operator independen...
BACKGROUND: Tongue diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides clinically important, objective evidence from direct observation of specific features that assist with diagnosis. However, the current interpretation of tongue features requi...
