In this study, we assessed the physical burden on professional caregivers when using a transfer support robot, "Hug," to transfer and move a care recipient. We compared heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and the time-series synchronizatio...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To survey recent progress in the application of implantable and wearable sensors to detection and management of cardiac arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND: Hyperkalemia, characterized by elevated serum potassium levels, heightens the risk of sudden cardiac death, particularly increasing risk for individuals with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Traditional laborator...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While wearable robotics is expanding within clinical settings, particularly for neurological rehabilitation, there is still a lack of consensus on how to effectively assess the performance of these devices. This review focuses on t...
Wearable robots have been developed to assist the physical performance of humans. Specifically, exosuits have attracted attention due to their lightweight and soft nature, which facilitate user movement. Although several types of force controllers ha...
The heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease (PD) presents considerable challenges for accurate diagnosis, particularly during early-stage disease, when the symptoms may be extremely subtle. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of a convolutional neur...
The integration of machine learning (ML) with edge computing and wearable devices is rapidly advancing healthcare applications. This study systematically maps the literature in this emerging field, analyzing 171 studies and focusing on 28 key article...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies on machine learning have shown the potential to provide new methods with which to assess pain through the measurement of signals associated with physiologic responses to pain detected by wearables. We conducted a prospectiv...
BACKGROUND: Wearable sensors are increasingly being explored in health care, including in cancer care, for their potential in continuously monitoring patients. Despite their growing adoption, significant challenges remain in the quality and consisten...
Continuous and reliable monitoring of gait is crucial for health monitoring, such as postoperative recovery of bone joint surgery and early diagnosis of disease. However, existing gait analysis systems often suffer from large volumes and the requirem...
