Early detection of mild cognitive impairment and dementia is vital as many therapeutic interventions are particularly effective at an early stage. A self-administered touch-based cognitive screening instrument, called DemSelf, was developed…
Differences in gait patterns of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and typically-developing (TD) peers are visible to the eye, but quantifications of those differences outside of the gait laboratory have been elusive. In this…
In this paper we evaluate the suitability of handwriting patterns as potential biomarkers to model Parkinson disease (PD). Although the study of PD is attracting the interest of many researchers around the world, databases to evaluate…
We present an application of gesture recognition using an extension of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to recognize behavioural patterns of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We propose an extension of DTW using one-class…
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) causes significant impairment in various domains. Early diagnosis of ADHD and treatment could significantly improve the quality of life and functioning. Recently, machine learning methods have…
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children, characterized by difficulties in attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Early and accurate diagnosis of ADHD is critical for effective…
Handwriting recognition is of crucial importance to both Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and paperwork digitization. In the general field of Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwritten Chinese character recognition faces tremendous…
With a prevalence of 5 to 50%, Dry Eye Disease (DED) is one of the leading reasons for ophthalmologist consultations. The diagnosis and quantification of DED usually rely on ocular surface analysis through slit-lamp examinations. However,…
The use of hand gestures provides a natural alternative to cumbersome interface devices for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) systems. As the technology advances and communication between humans and machines becomes more complex, HCI systems…
Handwriting is a natural and versatile method for human-computer interaction, especially on small mobile devices such as smart phones. However, as handwriting varies significantly from person to person, it is difficult to design handwriting…
This article describes the recognition part of a system that will be used for personalized therapy of dyslalia affecting pre scholars. Dyslalia is a speech disorder that affect pronunciation of one ore many sounds. The full system targets…
Around ten percent of children may present with a disorder where language does not develop as expected. This often affects vocabulary skills, i.e., finding the words to express wants, needs and ideas, which can influence behaviours linked…
This paper presents a novel approach to assist students with dyslexia, ADHD, and short attention span in digesting any text-based information more efficiently. The proposed solution utilizes the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorithm for…
Background and objectives: Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that affects the motor system producing lack of coordination, resting tremor, and rigidity. Impairments in handwriting are among the main symptoms of the disease.…
Several reasons explain the significant role that chest X-rays play on supporting clinical analysis and early disease detection in pediatric patients, such as low cost, high resolution, low radiation levels, and high availability. In the…
Eye tracking spreads through a vast area of applications from ophthalmology, assistive technologies to gaming and virtual reality. Precisely detecting the pupil's contour and center is the very first step in many of these tasks, hence needs…
Air-writing is the process of writing characters or words in free space using finger or hand movements without the aid of any hand-held device. In this work, we address the problem of mid-air finger writing using web-cam video as input. In…
Representing a space of handwriting stroke styles includes the challenge of representing both the style of each character and the overall style of the human writer. Existing VRNN approaches to representing handwriting often do not…
Purpose: Congenital heart defect (CHD) is the most common birth defect. Thoracic echocardiography (TTE) can provide sufficient cardiac structure information, evaluate hemodynamics and cardiac function, and is an effective method for atrial…
With more than 300 million people depressed worldwide, depression is a global problem. Due to access barriers such as social stigma, cost, and treatment availability, 60% of mentally-ill adults do not receive any mental health services.…
