BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to extract a patient-specific viscosity equation from photoplethysmography (PPG) data. An aging society has increased the need for remote, non-invasive health monitoring systems. However, the circula...
This study explores the development of a deep learning model using a neck-wearable piezoelectric sensor to accurately distinguish severe sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) from habitual snoring, addressing the underdiagnosis of SAS in adults. From 2018 to 20...
Empowering intelligent robots with cognitive abilities that rival or even surpass those of humans is the key to enabling more complex and sophisticated interactions. Currently, most electronic skins (e-skins) perform excellently in distinguishing sha...
Tai Chi, an Asian martial art, is renowned for its health benefits, particularly in promoting healthy aging among older adults, improving balance, and reducing fall risk. However, methodological challenges hinder the objective measurement of adherenc...
E-skin is an integrated electronic system that can mimic the perceptual ability of human skin. Traditional analysis methods struggle to handle complex e-skin data, which include time series and multiple patterns, especially when dealing with intricat...
Sports cardiology focuses on athletes' cardiovascular health, yet sudden cardiac death remains a significant concern despite preventative measures. Prolonged physical activity leads to notable cardiovascular adaptations, known as the athlete's heart,...
Many previous works on wearable soft exosuits have primarily focused on assisting human motion, while overlooking safety concerns during movement. This article introduces a novel single-motor, altering bi-directional transfer soft exosuit based on im...
