BackgroundAnxiety disorders are common mental health issues that have a significant effect on people's quality of life. Conventional techniques for tracking emotional states frequently lack the accuracy and sensitivity needed for successful intervent...
In recent years, Lip-reading has emerged as a significant research challenge. The aim is to recognise speech by analysing Lip movements. The majority of Lip-reading technologies are based on cameras and wearable devices. However, these technologies h...
This study aimed to identify relationships between external and internal load parameters with subjective ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Consecutively, these relationships shall be used to evaluate different machine learning models and design a ...
Wearable robots, especially those composed of soft materials, are increasingly attracting interest due to their comfort, ease of donning and doffing, and their ability to provide assistance across various applications. In wearable robotics, striking ...
There is a silent pandemic of suicides around the world, with an exponential increase in suicidality and chronic suicidal ideations. The exact global estimates cannot be accurately ascertained, but analysis will put it at more than a million annually...
Electrophysiological (EP) signals are key biomarkers for monitoring mental fatigue (MF) and general health, but state-of-the-art wearable EP-based MF monitoring systems are bulky and require user-specific, labeled data. Ultrathin epidermal electrodes...
BACKGROUND: Changes in body temperature anticipate labor onset in numerous mammals, yet this concept has not been explored in humans. We investigated if continuous body temperature exhibits similar changes in women and whether these changes may be li...
