Mastering the technical skills required to perform surgery is an extremely challenging task. Video-based assessment allows surgeons to receive feedback on their technical skills to facilitate learning and development. Currently, this…
Optical colonoscopy is an essential diagnostic and prognostic tool for many gastrointestinal diseases, including cancer screening and staging, intestinal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal symptom evaluation, and inflammatory bowel disease…
Neuromuscular disorders, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), cause progressive muscular degeneration and loss of motor function for 1 in 6,000 children. Traditional upper limb motor function…
Get-Up-and-Go Test is commonly used for assessing the physical mobility of the elderly by physicians. This paper presents a method for automatic analysis and classification of human gait in the Get-Up-and-Go Test using a Microsoft Kinect…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease with prevalence among general population reaching 0.1-1 %, and an annual incidence between 1.3-2.0/10000 inhabitants. The mean age at diagnosis of PD is 55 and…
Orofacial deficits are common in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their evolution might represent an important biomarker of disease progression. We are developing an automated system for assessment of orofacial function in PD that…
Assessing the quality of movements for post-stroke patients during the rehabilitation phase is vital given that there is no standard stroke rehabilitation plan for all the patients. In fact, it depends basically on the patient's functional…
Human gait can be a predictive factor for detecting pathologies that affect human locomotion according to studies. In addition, it is known that a high investment is demanded in order to raise a traditional clinical infrastructure able to…
In this paper, an interpretable classifier using an interval type-2 fuzzy neural network for detecting patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease (PD) based on analyzing the gait cycle is presented. The proposed method utilizes clinical…
Sit-to-stand transitions are an important part of activities of daily living and play a key role in functional mobility in humans. The sit-to-stand movement is often affected in older adults due to frailty and in patients with motor…
Demand for ADHD diagnosis and treatment is increasing significantly and the existing services are unable to meet the demand in a timely manner. In this work, we introduce a novel action recognition method for ADHD diagnosis by identifying…
Abnormal behavior detection in surveillance video is a pivotal part of the intelligent city. Most existing methods only consider how to detect anomalies, with less considering to explain the reason of the anomalies. We investigate an…
Proficiency in microanastomosis is a critical surgical skill in neurosurgery, where the ability to precisely manipulate fine instruments is crucial to successful outcomes. These procedures require sustained attention, coordinated hand…
Parkinsons Disease is a neurological disorder and prevalent in elderly people. Traditional ways to diagnose the disease rely on in-person subjective clinical evaluations on the quality of a set of activity tests. The high-resolution…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. Early diagnosis is essential to mitigate the progressive deterioration of patients' quality of life. The most characteristic motor symptoms are very mild in the early stages,…
Developments in computer science in recent years are moving into hospitals. Surgeons are faced with ever new technical challenges. Visual perception plays a key role in most of these. Diagnostic and training models are needed to optimize…
Patient motion is well-known for degrading image quality during medical imaging. Especially positron emission tomography (PET) is susceptible to motion due to its usually long scan times. In hybrid PET/MRI (magnetic resonance imaging),…
Recent advances in model architectures, compute, and data scale have driven rapid progress in video generation, producing increasingly realistic content. Yet, no prior method systematically measures how faithfully these systems render human…
Facial expressions and actions differ among different individuals at varying degrees of intensity given responses to external stimuli, particularly among those that are neurodivergent. Such behaviors affect people in terms of overall…
Vision-based motion estimation methods show promise in accurately and unobtrusively estimating human body motion for healthcare purposes. However, these methods are not specifically designed for healthcare purposes and face challenges in…
