This paper presents a simple yet effective method for improving the performance of zero-shot learning (ZSL). ZSL classifies instances of unseen classes, from which no training data is available, by utilizing the attributes of the classes. Conventiona...
Social isolation and loneliness are major health concerns in young and older people. Traditional approaches to monitor the level of social interaction rely on self-reports. The goal of this study was to investigate if wearable textile-based sensors c...

OBJECTIVE: Utilizing passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tags embedded in knitted smart-garment devices, we wirelessly detect the respiratory state of a subject using an ensemble-based learning approach over an augmented Kalman-filtered tim...
PURPOSE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL®, CYBERDYNE) is a wearable robot that provides assistance to a patient while they are walking, standing, and performing leg movements based on the wearer's intended movement. The effect of robot-assisted train...
According to the Industry 4.0 paradigm, all objects in a factory, including people, are equipped with communication capabilities and integrated into cyber-physical systems (CPS). Human activity recognition (HAR) based on wearable sensors provides a m...
In this article, we report on a systematic review of the literature on pressure-pain thresholds induced and assessed by computerized cuff pressure algometry (CPA). The motivation for this review is to provide design guidance on pressure levels for we...
Wearable technology has been viewed as one of the plausible alternatives to capture human motion in an unconstrained environment, especially during running. However, existing methods require kinematic and kinetic measurements of human body segments a...
Robots were introduced in rehabilitation in the 90s to meet different needs, that is, reducing the physical effort of therapists. This work consists of a meta-analysis of robot-mediated lower limbs rehabilitation for stroke-affected patients; it aims...
