Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) has been widely used in rehabilitation and other fields as a flexible and safe actuator. In this paper, a PAM-actuated wearable exoskeleton robot is developed for upper limb rehabilitation. However, accurate modeling...
As Canada's population of older adults rises, the need for aging-in-place solutions is growing due to the declining quality of long-term-care homes and long wait times. While the current standards include questionnaire-based assessments for monitorin...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly correlated with heart failure, stroke and death. Screening increases AF detection and facilitates the early adoption of comprehensive intervention. Long-term wearable devices have become increasingly pop...
Stress is a psychological condition resulting from the body's response to challenging situations, which can negatively impact physical and mental health if experienced over prolonged periods. Early detection of stress is crucial to prevent chronic he...
