Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art that provides an adaptive and accessible exercise for older adults with varying functional capacity. While Tai Chi is widely recommended for its physical benefits, wider adoption in at-home practice presents challenge...
Although several validated wearable devices are available for detection of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, automated detection of tonic seizures is still a challenge. In this phase 1 study, we report development and validation of an artificial neu...
Falls are a major concern for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), but accurately assessing real-world fall risk beyond the clinic is challenging. Contemporary technologies could enable the capture of objective and high-resolution data to better i...
Thermoelectric (TE) hydrogels, mimicking human skin, possessing temperature and strain sensing capabilities, are well-suited for human-machine interaction interfaces and wearable devices. In this study, a TE hydrogel with high toughness and temperatu...
BACKGROUND: Clinical decision-making in oncology is a complex process influenced by numerous disease-related factors, patient demographics, and logistical considerations. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), precision medicine is undergoi...
As an integral aspect of health care, digital technology has enabled modelling of complex relationships to detect, screen, diagnose, and predict patient outcomes. With massive data sets, artificial intelligence (AI) can have marked effects on 3 level...
Conductive hydrogels are widely used in flexible sensors owing to their adjustable structure, good conductivity, and flexibility. The performance of excellent mechanical properties, high sensitivity, and elastic modulus compatible with human tissues ...
Deep learning (DL) models have shown promise for the accurate detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) from electrocardiogram/photoplethysmography (ECG/PPG) data, yet deploying these on resource-constrained wearable devices remains challenging. This stu...
